I Love North Shields Official Merch | T-Shirts, Hoodies & More

Aye, We Wear It Well! Introducing the I Love North Shields 2025 Collection We’re so excited to launch our brand-new I Love North Shields merchandise — and this drop means more than just new tees, hoodies and beanies. It’s a celebration of everything our town represents: community, creativity, and local pride. Made by North Shields, for North Shields Each item has been carefully sourced, hand-printed, and made to order right here in town. We’ve worked with an amazing independent local printmaker Beth to ensure everything from the fit to the finish feels premium — and ethical. This is not fast fashion. It’s slow, thoughtful, and full of love for where we live. Photo credit @gpo_visuals
