Charlotte Rebel Alliance is a hornet on purpose. Not a vibe, but a warning. Strange Gang made this for the people in CLT who are watching this administration test the limits of cruelty and deciding, daily, that the answer is protest.
Anti-fascist means you do not negotiate with people who want you erased. Abolish ICE means you do not accept your neighbors being hunted and called “policy.” Pro-equality means you do not wait for permission to care. This is for the ones who already know, and the ones who just learned and got furious.
The front graphic is our Charlotte hornet crest in its classic colors, set inside a circular badge with that worn-in edge. It reads fast. It reads from across the street. It looks like something that should be on a flyer stack, a signal on a wall, or a stamp on a plan.
Hoodie or crewneck, same mission. Regular fit, midweight, ready for long hours. This is what you throw on before you head out to meet people, before you drive supplies, before you stand in the cold and refuse to move.
Charlotte is all neighborhoods and pressure. NoDa when the walls talk back. Plaza Midwood when the sidewalk turns into a meeting. South End when shiny tries to swallow the city. Uptown when the glass pretends it cannot hear you. University City when the campus energy spills into everything.
UNCC, Johnson C. Smith, Queens University of Charlotte, CPCC, this is for the students, staff, and alumni who refuse neutrality. The ones who organize rides, translate, document, show up for court support, and keep mutual aid moving.
And yeah, the sports heartbeat still matters. Panthers chaos, Hornets nights, Charlotte FC chants, Knights games when you need one normal hour before you go right back to it. Loving Charlotte is not passive. It is protective.
Give it as a gift to the loudest person you know. Keep it as a souvenir if you left CLT but did not leave the fight.
