Paige Bueckers UConn Huskies women’s basketball vintage shirt

Product Description

Merch has become Paige Bueckers UConn Huskies women’s basketball vintage shirt an integral part of the casual running club scene, with every club offering something, ranging from baseball caps to technical running jackets. Douglas and Sanders didn’t establish RBC with merch in mind, but a clear demand soon materialised. “You’re inspired by the other clubs,” says Douglas, “and there were a lot of people asking for it.” One runner told me that it’s good for members to have something to “buy into” when they join, while another admitted that she didn’t have any RBC merch, but buys whatever Your Friendly Runners produces as soon as it drops. Considering the nature of the core consumer base – young, creative, affluent, style-conscious and social media savvy – it’s perhaps unsurprising that the running club shirt has also become a marker of cool in day-to-day style. “When I wear this [RBC shirt], I feel like [there’s] something bigger, like I’m part of a tribe,” says Kyle Ayuba, 28, a designer and member of RBC, noting that he often wears it away from running. “I can wear it for sport, or for lifestyle,” he continues. “It feels very universal.”

In 2013 Paige Bueckers UConn Huskies women’s basketball vintage shirt the Rana Plaza garment factory collapsed, killing nearly 1,200 low-wage garment workers. The eight-storey complex in Dhaka, Bangladesh, had manufactured clothing for Walmart, JCPenney, Primark and Mango, among others. The collapse was a tragedy – and a media tipping point. For a while it really felt like the realities of fast-fashion production were reaching the masses. How could anyone read about the deaths of those workers and walk into a Primark again? Wasn’t it clear that the conditions and exploitations at Rana Plaza were endemic to the entire fast-fashion industry? For years I remained a loyal reader of the blogs. Then the bloggers moved to Instagram. But the internet was changing. The fashion girls I loved were becoming more like advertisers, tagging the brands in their outfits in every post and occasionally doing sponsored content. Instagram became like a shopping mall, adding features that allowed you to buy clothes straight from the app. I missed the uniqueness and idiosyncrasy of the blogging era. The fashion subcultures I loved were subsumed by the logic of algorithms.
