The Collegiate Licensing Company has teamed up with Infinity Headwear and Apparel to launch a costume collection and more inspired by mascots.

MascotWear will include infant and child full-bodied Halloween costumes, hooded fashion tops, towels, bathrobes, sleepwear and rainwear. The line will be available in August through select retail stores, bookstores and at MascotWearNation.com. An adult collection is expected to launch in 2011.

Teams included in the MascotWear program are University of Alabama, University of Arizona, University of Arkansas, Auburn University, Clemson University, University of Florida, University of Georgia, University of Illinois, University of Kansas, University of Kentucky, Louisiana State University, University of Mississippi, University of Missouri, University of Nebraska, University of North Carolina, Oklahoma State University, University of South Carolina, University of Tennessee, The University of Texas, Texas Tech University, West Virginia University and University of Wisconsin. Additional teams will be added on a rolling basis.

"We have long believed college mascots would have great applications as costumes, but finding the right partner to execute such a program proved challenging," says Scott Bouyack, vice president of apparel marketing for The Collegiate Licensing Company. "We're very excited to launch this new relationship with Infinity Headwear and Apparel, and have great confidence in their ability to make this a successful new category of business for our collegiate clients and their loyal fans."
