Highly unlikely the school sells that but there's websites out there that sell those shirts.

Cool.
I had to have the license plate frame for my car custom made. Wayne State only sells Warrior stuff now,.. and it's all terribly cheap quality.
When & why did they have to change their name? What does Wayne State have against flavorful sauces?
WSU changed from Tartars to Warriors in 1999. I think the jokes about condiments and teeth plaque didn't help, and then-President Reid wanted to push athletics more. A better name would help.
Tartars was the name of a Mongolian tribe, and was adopted in 1927 by student vote.

So it was a racist name insulting to Monogolians. I understand now.
I can't understand why Munies never stuck.
Maybe it was to honor and recognize the Tartar people.
I still have my dad's Wayne Tartars hat, his Wayne U. [[before it was State) track uniform, and his 78 record of Wayne's "Tartar War March" fight song. Along with about a hundred or more ancient copies of the Wayne [[or Detroit, as it was called for a while) Collegian newspaper.
There is a company out there selling EMU Huron logo shirts. I wonder if they have WSU Tartar stuff.
