Gay Northern Ice Fishing Society Tee

Born on the ice and raised on innuendo, this shirt carries the spirit of the Gay Northern Ice Fishing Society straight from the 2024 Catch & Release exhibition into everyday life. Originally designed as a pin button and now scaled up for full torso real estate, the logo nods to frozen lakes, quiet shacks, and the very unquiet politics of being queer in places like Sudbury, North Bay, Temagami, Thunder Bay, and Timmins.

This is a shirt for standing around a hole in the ice pretending not to flirt, for leaning against a pickup truck outside the LCBO, for post swim coffee in a small town diner where everyone is watching and nobody quite knows what to say. The fish are paired. The message is clear. Equality happens one hole at a time.

Cut in a classic fit with soft, midweight cotton, the tee wears easily whether layered under a jacket in February or pulled on after a lake swim in July. It holds its shape, keeps its cool, and prints the artwork with crisp precision so the joke lands properly every time. Ethically produced and thoughtfully finished, it is built for repeat wear, repeat glances, and repeat conversations.

This is not just a shirt. It is a not so quiet signal.
