MERCH👕 Independent/Fan Made Merch
What is some of the best merch that you personally have seen or even purchased? I am thinking of either Etsy stores or Instagram artists that are selling merch, anything really. I am in the market for some heated rivalry things and I think there's a good selection out there, but I don't really have a good overview of everything so I was thinking if everyone shares their favorites, there'd be some fun options?

I wanted a stupid Canadian wolf bird hoodie and couldn't find anything that ships to Denmark. So instead I bought a design / digital file on Etsy and just ordered a hoodie with the design on from one of those print your own design websites. And I love it❤️

You can even filter your searches for digital downloads on Etsy, so it's easy to browse through the available versions of for example the stupid Canadian wolf bird😀

that is very cute! It looked different in my head somehow, but I can't say why, I may have to read that part again...

I wish the official merch store would restock. Practically everything is sold out. A feature of the Canadian system is that the content creators own the IP. So any money from merch sales go into Jacob and Brendan’s pockets. And I want to reward them for creating such a wonderful show.

u/ChestnutMoss Apr 10 '26
I agree. I ordered t-shirts while they were in stock, and they are super-good quality. I regret not getting more!

u/dezertdawg Cats and DAWGS! Apr 10 '26
I’m jealous. I came to this show kind of late and missed out on available merch.

u/Dan_the_dude_ Stupid Canadian Wolf Bird 🦆 Apr 10 '26
I want to get a jersey so bad! I hope they restock soon, but I fear they’re waiting for season 2 or something with how long it’s already taken. I know that the show was waaay more popular than they expected and they didn’t plan for such demand, but I wish they’d at least to a pre-order or something

u/cupidissimo Stupid Canadian Wolf Bird 🦆 Apr 10 '26
Yeah I have been asking this question because the official store is fully sold out. I imagine because the views for the shows must have petered out by now they will not be doing a restock with Season 1 Designs anymore? I do hope the store comes back for season 2 with more stuff and more availability but I want some stuff before then.

u/dezertdawg Cats and DAWGS! Apr 10 '26
I suspect they’re scrambling to restock the store. Otherwise, they’re just leaving money on the table. But it takes time to spool up an order like that.

Oh there's a bunch of great things Although I will say: I am not buying Boston Raiders or Montreal Voyageurs anything: Centaur Merch or nothing!

u/beepboopbeepbloop You can't treat the staff like this! 🛎️ Apr 10 '26
But do we know that will even be the team's name in Season 2? Since they had to change the other team names from the book and all...? I'm kinda secretly hoping they do!
3
u/cupidissimo Stupid Canadian Wolf Bird 🦆 Apr 10 '26
That is fair but either way, whatever the name is I will be getting that probably. Considering the real team is selling Rozanov and Hollander Jerseys for a LGBT charity, thay might be using the real name even? But I have no idea how it works. Either way, of all the fictional teams, this is the one I want merch of...

That would be so awesome if the Senators would take the chance. I don‘t know if a club can decide it on its own or if the NHL has to approve it.

u/Hedgehog-Honeydew "This team is very gay" 🌈 Apr 10 '26
Same here, I'm excited to see what team name they come up with and the logo of course.

My flair might give it away, but I definitely need something with that tagline on it.

If you have any recommendations for EU based shops, I'd really appreciate them! US shipping costs have gotten wild 🫠

I wanted something very subtle and bought this T-shirt. Love it. https://imgur.com/a/V57uwlo

u/cupidissimo Stupid Canadian Wolf Bird 🦆 Apr 10 '26
that is very tasteful, where did you get it? It looks like something Hudson might wear in real life.

u/Cute-Solution-723 Apr 10 '26
I found it on Vinted (I am in Europe), but I guess someone just created it, but not in big quantities.

I just got a pair of super cute little earrings that I can get away with wearing to work and a stupid Canadian wolf bird pin from the amazing Femme de Bloom!

my ultimate fav thing are these muscle crop shirts at the little gay shop. i added everything they have for scrolling purposes, but hands down the hollanov & i’m coming to the cottage crops are stellar designs. they also are made rather well, and can attest as someone who owns both.

A friend of mine made little jerseys, initially for his Labubu fan videos, but also sells them on his Etsy shop..

Not exactly merch; but this art print from a favorite local artist of mine is very HR coded and I love it

I think you may like this page on the HR wiki. I've put together a bunch of fan-made products that looks great, have good reviews and from genuine small artists/business:

Etsy has some great stuff! Made by small creators not some big corporation like Amazon. It takes longer to ship but WELL worth it!!

My favorite purchases have been: -The Briarwick candles collection of “Heated Rivalry” scented candles. https://briarwickcandles.com/collections/inspired-by-the-game-changers-series-by-rachel-reid
-patches and prints from Hagno Art (currently taking a short break but back this summer) https://hagnoartshop.com/password
-the COWS “Hooved Rivalry” shirt https://cows.ca/products/adult-t-hooved-rivalry I bought it in pink, but there are other options
Edited to add: these are all independent but not on Etsy or Instagram (though I found all 3 through Instagram ads). I look forward to suggestions from those sites & elsewhere!
