Chicago has a way of making your politics stop being theoretical.
You feel it on the train. You hear it at the bus stop. You see who gets pushed, who gets watched, who gets priced out, who gets blamed. This anti-fascist protest design is for people who are done pretending that hate is just "debate" with a nicer font.
Strange Gang made this Chicago Anti-Fascist Union piece like a city chapter badge for everyday resistance.
The artwork puts Chicago and Local 312 at the bottom of an international union mark, with a megaphone, broken chains, and raised fists inside the circle. It reads like a signal, not decoration. It is lightly distressed because clean lines can still carry a rough message.
This one is for the people moving through Pilsen, Rogers Park, Bridgeport, Logan Square, Hyde Park, Little Village, and Uptown who know exactly what kind of energy they are bringing outside.
It belongs at mutual aid meetups, campus events, union halls, neighborhood shows, protest routes, and late food runs after a long day of doing the work.
If you are around UIC, DePaul, Northwestern, Loyola, or the University of Chicago, you already know the mix of conversations this starts. Some people nod immediately. Some people get uncomfortable. Good. That is part of the point.
Chicago sports culture is everywhere, and so is this city pride, but this is not passive hometown merch.
This is for people who can talk Bulls, Bears, Cubs, White Sox, Blackhawks, or Sky and still keep the focus where it belongs when things get ugly. City loyalty means more when it includes solidarity.
The hoodie and crewneck sweatshirt versions keep the message in rotation when the weather turns and the lake starts acting rude.
Wear it layered, wear it to organize, wear it on ordinary days when you want your stance visible before you say a word. It also makes a strong gift or souvenir for the Chicago person in your life who believes anti-fascist is not a trend, it is baseline human behavior.
