The "Go COMO" Shirt: A Story of Inspiration and Community Support
This past spring, Smith, who works part time as a Mizzou Store buyer, approached several staff with a business proposition: Would the store consider partnering with her on the Go COMO shirts? “We jumped on the idea,” store manager Jessica Weir says. Go COMO grew as an offshoot of a business concept Smith started in 2015 while a senior at Morgan Park High School on the far South Side of Chicago. At the time, Chicago was burdened with the infamous nickname “Chiraq” because of its violent reputation. Starting with Chicago’s more upbeat nickname “the Go,” she invented and trademarked the slogan “Straight from the Go” and built a line of clothing around the phrase.
A portion of the revenue generated from these shirts is donated to Molly’s Miles, a nonprofit organization that supports families of law enforcement officers killed in the line of duty, as well as to other organizations that inspire positive change in Columbia.
College Vault Collection: A Nod to Mizzou's Past
Smith’s eye for fashion and her knack for inspiring others helped a textile design team of students win Mizzou’s College Vault Collection competition. Judges selected designs and fabric selections that she, White and Hayes submitted over those of seven other groups. Their winning line of fanwear reflects Mizzou styles and logos popular in the late 1920s but with a modern update.
