It’s been a while since we’ve had a Leafs shirt up on the Nation Gear site. It’s not that we haven’t wanted to, it’s that we wanted to wait to give you a design that is unique and something that we would want to wear ourselves. Thankfully Anthony Stewart gave us this gem…
It didn’t take long for twitter to immediately either fall in love with the term like we did, or take it as a slight against Leafs fans. I’ll let you guess what side of that we fall on based on this.

That’s right! It’s our brand new, sexy and stylish Nylanderthal shirt. Fine enough to wear to at any occasion, but ideally to rub in your uncle’s face on family zoom calls.
If you are a proud Nylanderthal, now is your opportunity to broadcast it to the world in this 100% ring spun cotton shirt and let the Steve Simmons’ of the world know that you believe in our beautiful Swedish son. Also, that IKEA furniture really isn’t that hard to put together. The Swedes have gone out of their way to make it as simple and affordable as possible to furnish your home, why are you attacking them for it?
Anyways, I’m off topic now. You can order the shirt from the Nation Gear site, and hopefully we’ll have more designs for you in the near future.
