About Us
Story
Living in Toronto, one of the most multi-cultural cities in the world, you’re exposed to so many different cultures on a daily-basis. Walking around the city, your senses experience those cultures firsthand: in the people you see, the languages you hear, and the food you smell, touch and taste. One thing you see often is people wearing clothing that represents their background: a t-shirt featuring a different language or a hoodie highlighting a cultural design. Seeing people wearing those pieces and how their clothes make them feel is what inspired us to create My National Merch.
Currently, while browsing the internet, you might notice that this type of merch is usually sold through online stores specializing in a specific country/culture. You see a t-shirt with a cool design, you go to that online store to look for something similar yet relevant to you, but the store only sells products for that specific country. The only stores selling products for multiple counties offer very basic designs that seem to be an afterthought. This makes sense because it takes a lot of care to come up with designs that are truly unique for different countries.
So we asked a question: Can we bridge this gap by creating products that have unique and relevant designs for multiple countries?
We wanted to try!
With the 2022 World Cup around the corner, it felt like an ideal opportunity: 32 countries participating in one of the most high-profile global events. So we we dedicated the first collection of My National Merch to the 2022 World Cup. With this collection, we aim to address people’s desire to represent a specific country/culture along with their passion for this beautiful game. We want to share this feeling with people around the world and give them the means to truly show their support for their teams during this amazing event.
Design
Our intricate designs capture the essence of the 32 World Cup countries. We've been lucky to find and collaborate with a very talented designer who brought all of our ideas to life. We managed to combine our passion for football with the designer's mastery of craft. The result: 32 eye catching designs that are sure to be admired by everyone who lays eyes on them.
Production
We work with a print-on-demand partner which has locations worldwide; so depending on where you are, your orders are made and shipped from the facility that can do it most efficiently!
Quality is something we take very seriously, from the materials used to the printing process. All of our products are made especially for you as soon as you place an order, which is why it takes us a bit longer to deliver it to you. Making products on demand instead of in bulk helps reduce overproduction, so thank you for making thoughtful purchasing decisions!
