Dykes for Pikes Tee

Minnesota Lesbian Ice Fishing Club

This shirt announces itself before you do. Dykes for Pikes is both a declaration and a promise, borrowing the language of northern sport culture and flipping it with precision, humor, and zero apology. The axe at the center reads as folklore, labor, protection, and flirtation all at once. This is not metaphor free territory.

This is the kind of shirt worn by women who know how to sharpen a blade, back a trailer, start a fire, and hold eye contact just a second longer than necessary. It belongs in places like Duluth, Bemidji, Grand Marais, and anywhere the lake freezes thick enough to hold a truck and a few unspoken crushes. It works at the bait shop, the bar, the cabin, and the long walk back from the ice when no one is talking but everything has already been said. It is a shirt for cutting holes through ice and assumptions, for standing solid when the wind comes off Lake Superior, for finding community where it was never officially offered.

Printed on a rich blue cotton tee that feels like cold water and clear skies, the shirt wears with ease but carries weight. The fit is classic, the fabric soft but durable, and the artwork lands crisp and deliberate. It does not need to explain itself.

This piece extends the Catch and Release universe into something wearable, portable, and maybe even confrontational. It signals recognition., invites conversation. It also pairs well with flannel.
