This Starbucks Been There Series Campus Collection mug is a vibrant piece of collegiate memorabilia celebrating Penn State University. Officially licensed and new in its original packaging, this ceramic mug features the distinctive hand-drawn "doodle" art style that defines the sought-after Been There Series. The design is a rich tapestry of Penn State iconography and school spirit, rendered in the official navy and white color scheme. Prominent illustrations include the Nittany Lion logo, the historic Old Main building, and a detailed aerial view of Beaver Stadium, capturing the essence of game days in Happy Valley.
The mug prominently displays the rallying cry "WE ARE PENN STATE." in bold lettering, alongside other iconic references such as "Happy Valley." and "Lions." Additional vignettes depict campus life and landmarks, including Mount Nittany, a Penn State cheerleader, the Berkey Creamery represented by an ice cream cone, and symbols of student achievement like a graduation cap. A Starbucks to-go cup icon is seamlessly integrated into the design, a signature element of the series. The interior of the mug is finished in a deep, glossy navy blue, providing a striking contrast to the illustrated white exterior.
Condition is excellent, appearing as new and unused. The mug itself is pristine, with a high-gloss ceramic finish showing no chips, cracks, or flaws. The detailed graphics are crisp and fully intact with no fading or wear. It remains securely nestled in its original two-piece packaging, consisting of a solid grey inner tray and a kraft cardboard outer sleeve printed with "STARBUCKS BEEN THERE SERIES" and "CAMPUS COLLECTION." The box is intact with only minor superficial scuffing consistent with shelf storage. This collectible is ideal for Starbucks enthusiasts, Penn State alumni, or anyone seeking a tangible piece of Nittany Lions pride and the unique culture of State College, Pennsylvania.
