Meet the Not A Date to Celebrate boxy crop fit tee in washed black.
This tee was originally designed for January 26, however this message also applies to many other dates throughout our calendar and moments in time that lack truth-telling or justice for First Nations people.
We have seen people wear this tee on occasions such as and the Queens/Kings Birthday, anniversary of the failed First Nations Voice to Parliament Referendum.
Jan 26 is not a date to celebrate in “Australia”. It is a day of mourning, marking the beginning of the dispossession of land, violence, massacres and genocide and survival for First Nations people.
When we see non-Indigenous people wearing our designs, we feel proud that they are repping our merch and culture.
When we see Aboriginal designs in the world, it means Indigenous people are not invisible in the landscape.
But, purchasing from Aboriginal brands, businesses and wearing Indigenous designs alone is surface-level allyship. There needs to be more commitment than just buying from Aboriginal brands and businesses.
Wearing Aboriginal design is not dismantling a system that oppresses Indigenous people. Allies need to do more and learn more. Wearing our tees is a great starting point. We have equipped you with our merch and some of the educational content to go with them. We want you to go out in the world, have these important conversations and find ways to do more and support more.

Beautiful fabric, quality, and fit.
The fabric is great quality, it has a heaviness to it but still airy due to the boxy design. Looking forward to wearing it on invasion day as an Aly to my Aboriginal brothers and sisters.

Sorry Folks
Sorry Folks, l never knew about a 'stubby' T shirt before, but now l do. 🤔
Bought the 3X, and due to a far too fat torso, l won't be sending any photos. Not a pretty sight.(I'm 76 and in my ancient thinking it seems to be 'half' a T shirt). Just wanted to support The cause. Have bought merch from other 1st Nations groups before. My forebears were part of the invaders army, so l feel a responsibility for where 'we' are today. Changing 'the day' is an excellent idea. I'll be 'working on' family & friends to try to change the 'white' bias . Regards. Bob
P.S 1 of my so s is much shorter than me, well defined muscles, and much more modern dress style than me. So a present for him.
So they say we stole this land, Briggs says the children came back, I would like to think we only borrowed it and will give it back to the DreamTime Asp but I wish we left it better than we found it.
Great service and communication. Also glad that I've made the connection with you guys because the news emails have alerted me to issues that I was unaware of.
Thankyou
