‘Queer’ appears across the hoodies, with bead-embellished drawstrings aligning with elements from the film. The quote, ‘I want to talk to you… without speaking’ is featured on the back of the hoodies, in grey and navy colourways. Four sweatshirts, in grey, gold, bright pink and steel blue showcase the film’s title alongside film credits, echoing Queer’s official poster design. Additional sweatshirts in cornflower blue, light pink, maroon and bright green feature evocative images from the film, such as stills of the lead characters portrayed by Craig and Starkey, symbolic images of guns and landscapes, and a flat lay of key objects from the storyline. The blue-steel T-shirt features the film’s title, while a grey melange T-shirt is printed to mimic the centipede necklace, a symbol of transformation in the film.
