Unisex with a relaxed cut, true to size, S to 4XL. Garment-dyed heavyweight tee.

Pride is a protest. Pride started as an uprising and not a party, and the archivist in the tee keeps the photographs from the 1970 march in a climate-controlled drawer and brings prints to the planning meeting every spring to remind the sponsors what the parade is. Not a corporate float. This tee keeps the history front and center, four words.

Wear it to the Pride march, the trans rights rally, the planning meeting with the sponsors, the queer history talk, and the family dinner where a relative says it is just a parade now. It is a strong gift for an archivist, a Pride organizer, a queer elder, and the friend who brought the prints.

The tee is a Comfort Colors 1717, garment-dyed in 6.1 oz ring-spun cotton, soft and evenly colored, with a heavier hand than a novelty tee and four words that read across a Pride planning meeting. Direct-to-garment. It bonds with the cotton.

Unisex, relaxed, true to size. S through 4XL. Colors: Black, White, Bay, Blossom. Also Chambray, Graphite, Ivory, Banana. It is the 1970-photographs entry on our LGBTQ rights and pride page.

Designed and printed to order in the USA. Machine wash cold, inside out, with like colors. Tumble dry low. Do not bleach or iron the design.

Common questions

Where does this sit next to we're here we're queer? That one is the chant; this one is the reminder of why there was ever a chant.

Would a Pride committee order these for the planning meeting? Committees do, on purpose, for the sponsors' benefit. Every shirt is printed to order. Any mix of sizes, one order.

Which color do people pick? Black by a wide margin. Blossom for the march.

How does the 1717 fit? True to size, relaxed body. Order your usual.

Wear it to: the parade, the school board meeting, the family dinner, every day of June.

Measurements for every size are on the size and fit guide.

Printing and care

Printed to order in the USA, direct to garment: water-based ink goes into the fabric rather than sitting on top, so the print stays soft and does not crack or peel.

Machine wash cold, inside out. Tumble dry low or hang dry. Do not iron the print. More on the fabric and care page.
