Description

Chicago has never asked permission to push back. This Chicago Gadsden Flag sweatshirt mixes the city's four stars with the Gadsden warning "Don't Tread on Us," taking the old symbol back and pointing it straight at fascism. Our crewneck is heavyweight, oversized and organic cotton, ready for Bronzeville tenant meetings, UIC campus walkouts and cold mornings outside the courthouse waiting on a neighbor's hearing. Wear it to the next mobilization at Federal Plaza or the mutual aid table in South Shore. It's a gift for the organizer in your life and a souvenir for anyone who knows this city answers back.

Fight With Purpose

Automatic donations to related charities

Fair ask. We’ve been creating anti-fascist and progressive art for over 25 years. Chicago made us, but now we’re full-time nomads making art and products that espouse our beliefs in human rights and social justice. We design things for the communities we come from and the ones we fight alongside, with a portion of sales donated to causes we support. We’re stubborn, loud, and allergic to neutrality. No fascists. No excuses.

Most of our items are available in a wide range of sizes. Additionally, most items are available in various styles. If you see a T-shirt design you like and want it on a hoodie, check the hoodies section or use the search bar. You can also customize the style and color of most designs in the custom section of our website.

Feel free to contact us if you can't find what you're looking for, and we'll do our best to make it happen.

We donate $1 of each item sold to non-profits and organizations supporting progressive, humanitarian, and justice-oriented causes around the world. All donations are automatically calculated and transferred to our charity partner every month to ensure compliance and timely processing.

We want you to love your Strange Gang goodies! If you're not completely satisfied with your purchase, you request a return for a refund or exchange within 7 days of receipt. Please note that all returns must be unworn and unwashed. Simply contact us at info@strangegang.com and we'll guide you through the process. Read more here. Important: Custom items cannot be returned for any reason, but damaged items can be replaced.

Chicago Doesn't Kneel

Our Chicago flag “Don’t Tread On Us” hoodie and crewneck sweatshirt were built for cold resistance. This isn’t cozy wear for influencers. It’s armor for winter radicals. The Chicago flag is printed front and center, but the city doesn’t just show up in the stripes and stars. It shows up in the message. Don’t Tread On Us. Not screamed. Declared. Not borrowed. Reclaimed.

That phrase has been used and abused by the wrong side for too long. This version takes it back and plants it in Chicago soil. Under the four red stars and across the blue lines, the words hit different. Because in this city, we know what it means to be stepped on. Police vans at schools. ICE raids before sunrise. Mayors shaking hands with big money while neighborhoods get gutted. This hoodie is a refusal. A full-body one.

Midweight. Regular fit. Built to layer under protest jackets or wear solo while waiting for the bus in a city that cuts corners and budgets. But the weight isn’t just in the fabric. It’s in the message. It’s in the grit of the ink. Each scuffed line is deliberate. Because nothing in this city is pristine. And none of us got here clean.

This is for the public defenders and the street medics. The unhoused and the overworked. The poets, punks, punks with kids, the ones who keep showing up. For block club organizers and queer kids with no backup. For the ones who know community is survival. You wear this and you carry a flag that means fight back. You wear this and you walk a little more solid. You wear this and people know you aren’t neutral.

Offered in multiple colors. Doesn’t matter which one you choose. Every version says the same thing. Not today. Not anymore. Not without a fight.

Strange Gang doesn’t design comfort. We design callouts. The kind that make people read twice. The kind that let the quiet ones know they’re not alone. The kind that make the loud ones even louder.

This isn’t about fashion. It’s about line drawing. Step over it and find out.
