One shirt shows a picture of Darth Vader over a USC-logo, perfect for any UCLA fan. Another long sleeve shows Yoda, with the inscription "Aggie of Texas A&M, I am."

Perhaps Georgia receiver Chris Conley may be the first to get his hands on some of the new swag. In December of last season, the then-junior standout organized a "lightsaber duel" on campus for fans, which was followed by an actual movie that he directed a few months later.
Conley spent much of his offseason on the Twitter-fueled project "Retribution," wrote Fox Sports, a 25-minute film that features "fellow Georgia football players and students, head coach Mark Richt, stormtroopers and lightsaber duels across the Athens, Ga., campus -- including the team's iconic Sanford Stadium."
