Retrokid x Degrassi High Limited Edition Collection Launches Tomorrow

Canadian retailer Retrokid is releasing an exclusive limited edition collection of officially licensed Degrassi merchandise.

The collection, which launches tomorrow at 9pm ET, features a range of Degrassi t-shirts and sweatshirts as well as an incredible one of a kind varsity jacket. Most of the products are themed around the Degrassi High era, but we’ve been told that future collections will include more Degrassi: The Next Generation-related items.

If you’ve been around the Degrassi fandom for a while, you’ll know that Degrassi merch has never been all that great. That’s why I think it’s so exciting that we’re finally getting a collection as cool as this that is actually officially licensed. Over the past number of years, WildBrain has been licensing so many of their brands through their CPLG business. It’s great to see Degrassi finally included in that.

Degrassi Nostalgia: The 2005 – 2006 Degrassi Student Planner

Recently I was going through some old books and I came across my copy of the Degrassi agenda (AKA the Degrassi 2005-2006 18-Month Student Planner).

This agenda was released in Canada in 2005. I don’t know if it was ever released in the US. I remember it came out around the same time as the Degrassi Generations: The Official 411 book.

I purchased this agenda at a bookstore when I was 16 years old on August 25, 2005. I know it was this exact date because I found an old Livejournal entry that I made when I bought it.

Degrassi Merchandise: The Panthers 88 T-Shirt

Fall is upon us Degrassians!

What are you up to this fall? Working hard at school and/or work? Filling your closet with fall fashion? Watching football from the couch? How about cheering on your favorite football team, or even your classmates from the sidelines?!

I know if I was at Degrassi I’d definitely be going to as many home games as possible! There’s something about the energy on the field, and watching the people you have History class with out there representing your school, striving for that win! How could you now want to cheer on Mo, Owen, Connor, Drew and the rest of the Panthers?!

A piece that showcases my love for Degrassi football is the Degrassi Panthers 88 Tee. Not only does it represent the Degassi Panthers with a sporty flair but, it has also been worn on the show by a former member of the football team, Jane! TOO cool! Head on over to the Degrassi on-line store and check out the various products including the Panthers 88 Tee. Go team, GO!

Degrassi Merchandise: Back to School with the Degrassi Letterman Hoodie

September is right around the corner, and school is about to be back in session. I know I wish I was heading back to Degrassi Community School this fall. Imagine cheering on Owen, Connor and the rest of the team at a Panthers game?!

It may not be possible for me to attend Degrassi, but it is possible for me to show my Panther pride. From the Spirit Sqaud to the Power Squad, Paige Michalchuk to Marisol Lewis, school spirit has come a long way, and has always been a big part of Degrassi. Whether it is the Power Squad cheering on the football team, or students cheering on their fellow classmates at Robot Wars, Degrassi students take pride in their school. A great way to show your Panther pride despite not being able to cheer on fellow Degrassians, is to sport some serious Panther merchandise. I’m most ecstatic about my Degrassi Letterman Hoodie, pictured below.

Although I wear my Degrassi Letterman Hoodie all year round, it’s an absolute staple in my fall wardrobe. Heading back to school wearing my blue and gold hoodie makes me even more excited to return to the halls of my own “Degrassi.” Having this great piece of merchandise gives me such a sense of Panther pride!

The Degrassi Store offers this hoodie along with so much more to add to your Degrassi wardrobe! What better way to get through the hiatus than showing your Panther pride while getting back in to the swing of school? From Spirit Squad shirts, to Degrassi Drama, the Degrassi Store has something for you!

Degrassi Merchandise: ‘Degrassi Drama’ T-Shirt Now Available

Do you ever secretly wish that you went to Degrassi?

Despite the fact that most kids who go to Degrassi are lucky to get out alive, I can’t help but wish I could be best friends with Imogen or sitting in detention with Bianca. I’ve been lucky enough to have the chance to visit the set a couple of times, and it is a surreal experience. As a longtime fan of the show, seeing Degrassi Community School in person and walking down the halls is almost like falling into the Degrassi world.

Most of the time, I think about who I would be and where I would fit in at the school. Would I be on student council? The academic quiz team? The Power Squad? There are so many possibilities.

Degrassi’s (many) clubs are an integral part of the show. Over the years we’ve seen the Degrassi Archery Club, the Grapevine, the Friendship Club, as well as countless sports teams and after school activities. In recent years, however, it’s the Degrassi Drama Club that has taken the spotlight. How much would you like to be co-directing Romeo and Jules with Eli Goldsworthy by your side? The Degrassi Drama Club has had plenty of ‘drama’ over the past couple of seasons, both on stage and off. That’s what has made it so compelling.

Lucky for me, I do have a little piece of Degrassi Drama in my wardrobe. The Degrassi Drama t-shirt (worn by Clare and Eli above) is currently for sale in the Degrassi Store!

Often the first thing people say when they see me wearing this t-shirt is “you watch Degrassi?” Umm… yeah. I do a little more than watch it. But it’s definitely a conversation starter and a great way to meet other fans!

Earlier this summer, I was hanging out with Kary (who you all know from Degrassi Blog) outside of a Toronto subway station. Kary was decked out in his own Degrassi Drama t-shirt as we were about to visit various Degrassi landmarks throughout the city. All of the sudden, the one and only Aislinn Paul (aka Clare Edwards on Degrassi) walked right by us. She instantly recognized Kary thanks to the t-shirt, and we had a little conversation with her.

So if you plan on running into Aislinn Paul anytime soon, or you just want to pretend to be Clare Edwards for a day, the Degrassi Drama t-shirt is only $19.99 if you buy it from the Degrassi Store. It may not buy you a ticket to Degrassi Community School, but you can show off your Degrassi pride to the world!
