Last year at around this time, the Blizzard Gear Store had Pride shirts available for sale.
The links to the shirts no longer work (probably because of the website revamp), but even searching the Gear Store itself, I can’t find these shirts anywhere.
Are these shirts coming back for purchase in time for Pride month? If not, why were they removed? We’ve seen these shirts sported by a couple devs recently and it’d be nice if we had another chance to get our own
Or perhaps I may be missing them entirely, in which case, if anyone has a link to them, that’d be mega-awesome.
“Please show your pride by buying our merchandise while we are currently fighting union creation within our company. We’re super progressive, look at all the colors!” -Blizzard
They almost always get the same Blizzard gear as the actual Blizzard store does because you’re just buying it from the factory that makes it instead of the company.
Maybe checkerboard it with various silhouettes of blizzard characters in the boxes and then have the logo, inverting with the colors with a black and white outline.
(I don’t have photoshop right now, so just imagine it.)
Yes, i know it’s about the message… which Blizzard always royally messes up, but speaking strictly from a design standpoint, they just seem bland with the simply black t-shirt with rainbow logo imo.
This could be really nice. It’d have to have some sort of Blizz-theme on it though, I would imagine, since it’d be on the Blizz store, but that totally could work too.
That’s unfortunate but I just checked and I don’t see any pride apparel this year. I’m rather upset by that Blizzard. We’re almost in June pride month and you have nothing to show for it? What happened to being inclusive? Hopefully they’ll get it sorted out soon.
You know, if you just want to spend money on LGBT things, just donate to a charity. Not sure why you’re waiting on a corporation to make stuff for you to buy.
Or just buy a rainbow t-shirt and slap a 75 cent official Blizzard bumper sticker on it. It would’ve been cheaper and better anyways then waiting for Blizzard to make theirs.
I don’t think OP is worried about finding a pride shirt through other online stores. It’s worrisome to find no pride event, apparel or gear in the game or Blizzard store. I will be sending Blizzard an email in the following days if nothing comes up.
I’ve already purchased the pride shirt from last years blizzard store. Thank you for the donation links, I will save those after donating to Ukraine these past few months. But I will happily support my favorite gaming company if/when they add In pride apparel. Im personally hoping they make a pride backpack!
You know, while looking around on the links Vincent gave me, trying to find that Blizzard Pride shirt for a price comparison, i’ve stumbled on this.
Darn these are so creative looking.
You know, it’s so strange, that Blizzard is praised for their amazing art team… and hiring diverse people does ensure different ideas, stories and so on… and THIS is what they come up with?..
Sorry for harping on this, but those 2 things alone with this t-shirt just really irks my inner creative side.
