The 2021 End of Year RVA Swagathon Is Happening Now!

by | Dec 17, 2021 | MUSIC

Tis the season for gift ideas, and over here at RVA Mag and GayRVA, we’ve got plenty of swag coming in the very near future, any and all of which would make a great gift for the independent media supporter in your life. You can represent Richmond VA (RVA) supporting local through our End of the Year RVA Swagathon by visiting bonfire.com/store/rvamag.

Where GayRVA is concerned, we’ve got our new winter series, featuring a variety of fashionable longsleeves. And for RVA, we’ve got a whole lot to offer, from the tried-and-true classic RVA logo t-shirt to brand new options. Plus: new color options! So even if you’ve got RVA Mag t-shirts in every previously available color, you’ll have some fresh new shades to sport this time around.

RVA Mag logo t-shirts are available in several color combos: gold, maroon, charcoal, or black, all with a white logo. Alternatively, white t-shirts with black logo are available as well. And this year, for the first time ever, we’ve got dope new pullover hoodies in all of the same color combinations as the t-shirts.

Also: back by popular demand, it’s the classic RVA Mag logo beanies. These cuffed knit beanies in black or navy have the RVA Mag logo printed on them in white. Keep your head warm this winter while supporting your favorite independent local culture mag!

And of course, for the first time this year, we present stainless steel water bottles featuring the RVA Mag logo. These are great for outdoor adventures, whether you’re an all-weather hiking buff or you’re gathering your supplies for the upcoming summer festival season.

GayRVA’s Winter Series features a classic longsleeve tee with the GayRVA logo in white on your choice of light pink, charcoal, navy, indigo, or black. These are great for winter nights at the club, when you want to stay warm without bundling up too much and sweating to death on the dance floor (always an ironic feeling in the middle of January, am I right?).

We’ve also got crewneck sweatshirts in either navy or black, as well as youth crewnecks for the more petite or youthful among us, in black and maroon. Grab these and let your support for our continued local coverage of LGBTQ rights keep you warm all winter!

Once again you can get all this excellent RVA Mag swag now from our RVA Magazine merch store at bonfire.com/store/rvamag. Available for a limited time only, while supplies last. Make it happen, y’all!

We’ll be holding a giveaway of a few choice items on Instagram sometime in the next few days as well, so follow us @rvamag to keep an eye out for that. Until then, we wish you a very Happy Holidays from the RVA CREW!
