Old Navy is launching a line of rainbow-themed Pride shirts next Monday. Four designs will be available, sized for men, women and babies. And Old Navy will donate 10% of the proceeds to the It Gets Better Project. (full article at link above).

Love these! Wonder when they will be available.

Today, supposedly.

 

[BriGuy]

I actually was in Old Navy today and didn't see any. That's awesome though! I wanna pick one up for Pride!

 

[DrGaellon]

I went today too, specifically looking for them, and they didn't have.

 

[QCast_Michael]

From what I can gather, they're only available from June 1-30, and only in select stores. The list is here:

Wow so they are only selling these in "gay friendly" cities. I smell BS! Fail...

 

[Disneyland_emily]

Wow- That is sad on how few locations will carry the shirts- I can easily see it being only 1-2 per city but only 16 total? That's crazy and IMO a poor retail decision. Id have put them online only before that!

I guess I'm lucky that one of my local stores will have them but now thinking itd be better to not buy one in the fact so many others cant..

Not sold around here either. Why in the world aren't they selling them online???

 

[mickeysaver]

I love the idea, but the execution is sorely lacking. I am really bummed that they are not selling these online. Can you imagine how much money they would make from Podunk Nowhere Middle American members of the LGBT community and their friends if they were offered online?

A win and a fail all at the same time. sigh

I concur.

Well, now it looks like there is a petition.

Thanks. I had just emailed them, but I signed the petition too.

Well, Old Navy screwed up all around. Despite all the hoopla about them going on sale today, not even the 26 stores have them yet. They weren't shipped out in time plus there was a holiday weekend, and now many stores are "hoping" to see them next week some time - too late for those of us in Orlando who may have wanted to wear them during Gay Days weekend. Way to go, Old Navy!!

The 2 stores I usually shop in are supposed to have the shirts, but I didn't go to either one to see if they had them in stock. Sounds like it would have been a wasted trip!

exactly my thought.
they should pretty much be selling them in our entire state here.

and they really should be selling them online.

They have them at my Old Navy in Atlanta, I have a feeling probably the only store in the state. I wish they were everywhere.

I just wasted an hour, my ON does have the shirts they are just not in the store yet.

This is a good example of how to turn a positive into a negative.
