Tiger Spirit
RETRO ROAR COLLECTION
Step back in time with this year's Retro Roar spirit collection, where old-school style meets modern design!
Inspired by words from the historic building sign, our Retro Roar collection honors Oakdale's rich history.
Oakdale School has been at the heart of this community since 1869, starting as a one-room schoolhouse and community center. Over the years, it grew alongside the families it served—from a small K-8 school in 1927 to a larger building in the 1950s as Omaha expanded. In 1947, Oakdale became one of the three original schools that helped shape District 66, now Westside Community Schools.

A new, state-of-the-art Oakdale Elementary opened in January 2017. While the building is modern, it stands on the same ground where generations of students have learned and grown, honoring the rich history and spirit of our community.
So, let’s celebrate Oakdale's heritage with our Retro Roar collection, featuring long sleeve apparel perfect for fall!
Check out our great styles for cooler weather, including tees and both pullover and full-zip hoodies.
This year, we have two shirt options to fit different budgets. For a more affordable choice, we’ve switched from Gildan to Jerzees, which offers better comfort and durability for the same price. If you want something more premium, we still have Bella + Canvas shirts, known for their softer feel and stylish fit. Both options will have the same design, so you can pick based on your budget and preference.
We're excited to continue our partnership with Courtyard Ink as our apparel vendor, a Westside alum with kids at Rockbrook. They generously stepped up as a Top Tiger sponsor for the 2024-25 school year. And there's more! With every purchase, $5 goes back to the Oakdale Community Club. We raised $670 last year. It's a win-win for you and our community!
Order yours today!
Our online store is open until Sunday, Aug 24th.
If this is a surprise gift, select delivery to the main office, and you can pick it up there. Otherwise, at checkout, choose the grade for the child you want the order to be sent home with. That’s how we'll know who to give it to at school.
Your spirit wear will arrive at Oakdale the week of September 8th, before the cooler weather!
And remember, make sure to grab your kid's FREE spirit tee at Open House, courtesy of Community Club!
At Oakdale, we celebrate every student's growth and achievements. Each kid brings their own strengths, learns in different ways, and may need different kinds of support—and we’re proud to honor that. This will be the theme for next school year's free spirit tees, courtesy of Community Club. Kids voted for the design that best captures this theme.
The winning design is Dream Big, Roar Bigger, crafted with love by the talented Jessica Bittner. Let's give her a round of applause! The design is about urging students to set high goals and confidently share their achievements, fostering ambition, confidence, and pride within the Oakdale community.
We’ve chosen Next Level tees for their excellent quality and stylish design. Made from a soft, durable blend of combed ring-spun cotton and polyester, these shirts are very comfortable. With a modern fit and breathable fabric, they’re perfect for everyday wear. We’re excited to provide these premium tees, ensuring everyone looks and feels great while showing their school spirit.
Our online store will have these tees for sale in adult, youth, toddler, and infant sizes.
