T-shirts for kids and adults, hats, coffeebags, stickers, keychains, passports, fanzines... Here's a full list of all our merch: What we're bringing to World Cup, where you can place your order and how you may get hold of it before we head to France (and most likely sell out). We also have some things you can purchase online, for more on that check the bottom.

In parallel with all our practical preparations, we're building a strong team and a new derby culture. Our goal to show the potentials of the Nordic nations roller derby against the world feels within range!

We've got 5 different shirts; to guarantee we can get you the model you want in your size please order before 12:00 CEST 14/4 through this form. Prices are 20€ for kid shirts and 25€ for adult shirts (with some adult shirts at 30€ because they have print on both sides).

This design is hand drawn by Norwegian Rune Borvik (check out his comics) in honour of the Sparta of the North, as someone in our comments described Finland. The shirt spells out the Finnish proverb Sääli on sairautta 'Pity is an illness'. The message? Not to portrait ourselves as weaker than we are. But if you think about it, pity is just not very constructive (link) compared to, say, compassion.

A metal design seemed like the natural homage to these words of wisdom. After all: Who does metal better than the Nordics?

From left to right: The white (with our Thingy in blue), the space shirt (with stars planets and asteroids), the blue shirt (with our logo in yellow) and the red shirt (with a slightly different version of our logo). Our first batch of space shirts have our logo on the back, the next batch will not (reducing the price from 30 to 25€). All shirts come in straight/unisex and in most sizes between S and XXL (measurements in the order form).

The white and the space shirts can be ordered in two different kid sizes (37cm wide by 48 long, or 42 wide by 58 long).

In the order form you can order this bundle of stickers, at World Cup we will have two more from our illustrated Words of wisdom collection designed by Icelandic player and designer Mango.

Marek in Helsinki contacted us a while back to donate a batch of Thingy keychains. We've put the cuties on metal rings, ready to accessorise your backpack or your keys.

There's still time to order your very personalised sauna hat in your size and team colours, unless you want to knit it yourself from our pattern now on Ravelry made by PRincess based on creative brainstorming in our comments.

Did you know people in the Nordic are among the world's top coffee consumers? We've been sponsored by the Danish Brew Company and bring with us to France a neat little thing: It's ready to drink straight from the bag, but it is brewed, not that instant coffee crap. And if you're ordering stuff from us to be delivered through derby mail before or after World Cup, you can throw in a coffee bag or four!

Finally our two little gems that you can order and get online (but also in print at our merch stand): your very own Kalmar Union passport, and a fanzine with all the illustrations by Mango and explanations about the proverbs that made it to our collection of Nordic words of wisdom.

Tip: Our fundraiser offers a chance to get a postcard from World Cup, and there's a raffle there with some nice prices too!
