New Batch of Cascadia Scarves Available!

Cascadia Scarf Doug Flag

Some would say that Soccer in America is defined by the support of the game in the Pacific Northwest. Designed by Abe Schmidt, this scarf was created with the mission of showing your pride for Cascadia and keeping the cup. The rivalry between Seattle, Portland and Vancouver is a rivalry unlike anything else in American or Canadian Soccer.

Just in time for a new season, and in the midst of the Cascadia Cup TM debacle, we're excited to announce a new batch of Cascadia Scarves has arrived.  These scarves are sturdy, well made, nice and long and absolutely perfect for guarding your lungs from flare smoke, or for representing Cascadia wherever you might end up.

For those worrying about the increasing monetization of Cascadia related products and supporter group made competitions, all money made from these sales simply pays back investors, goes directly back into creating more merchandise, and supporting local grassroots Cascadia related clubs throughout the Pacific Northwest.

Scarves are now available for purchase for $22 + $3 SH ($25 total) and can be purchased either below or by accessing our merchandise store here: https://www.wepay.com/stores/cascadiascarves

New Cascadia flags are in! Order online for $23.50

The Doug flag is the symbol of Cascadia and a new batch of Cascadia Flags have arrived. Those interested should send $23.50 to cascadianmycelium@gmail.com using either Paypal or Wepay.

Umqua-Cascadia-Flag

The flags are 5'x3' nylon and will be shipped out as soon as possible, except for between the dates of June 19th to 25th. A portion goes to supporting Cascadia Chapters.

Designed in 1994 by Portland native and professor Alexander Baretich, it can increasingly be found in cities throughout the Pacific Northwest and is becoming a common sight at soccer games, occupy protests and of course, on locally made microbrews (among our favorite, the Secession IPA or Cascadian Dark Ale).

The blue of the flag represents the moisture rich sky above and Pacific ocean along with the Salish Sea, lakes and other inland waters. Our home is of continuous cascading waters flowing from our sky and mountains back to the Pacific. For Cascadia is a land of falling water from the Pacific to the western slopes of the Rockies and Cascades where water cycles as vapor and then rain and snow to run through creek and river back to the Pacific. The white represents snow and clouds and the green to represent the evergreen forests and fields of the Pacific Northwest. The lone standing Douglas Fir symbolizes endurance, defiance and resilience, named for explorer David Douglas, the first written account of the bioregion as a land of cascading waters and from where our primary mountain range takes its name. All these symbols of color and icon come together to symbolize what being Cascadian is all about.

Submit Your Idea, Upvote, Downvote and Help us Choose a New Cascadia T-Shirt and Hoodie Design

cmDRe

Working through the Cascadia Subreddit, we have begun a three step voting process to help us choose a design for new Cascadia T-Shirts and Hoodies. Anybody interested can vote HERE.

Registration for the site takes under 3 seconds, and then a new user can upload, submit their own ideas, as well as vote other designs that has already been proposed.

The merchandise will be created by the Cascadian screen printing company Kotis Design, who created the first batch of T-Shirts and Hoodies. Aside from being available for purchase online, will be funded through a Kickstarter that we begin in early May, which will serve as a pre-order for stickers, bumperstickers, T-shirts and hoodies, and to try and drop the cost as low as possible.

So here's how the process will work:

1. Upload your ideas as soon as possible! If you already have an image, you can either upload it to the photo hosting site Imgur for free, or go to Kotis Designs website where you can preview how it would look on a T-shirt or Hoodie. After that, just submit a link in the comments section on our post.
2. Vote on other people's ideas by May 2nd
3. Favorite Ideas will be taken, and worked by the graphic design team from Kotis to be printed on several types of garments (T-shirts, sweatshirts etc.)
4. Early in May we will begin a one month Kickstarter campaign to help us raise money to do a bulk order, which will drop the price as low as possible. Prices will sit at-cost (and whatever is reasonable for the printers of course), with any extra money going into creating more merchandise. Cascadia Swag will also be available for purchase anytime through an online store we will be setting up, or directly from their website, as well as patches, stickers, flags and any other merchandise people can think of.
