From “Hound Lovers for Harris” to “White Dudes for Harris,” there is so much diversity among Kamala Harris and her running mate Tim Walz’s growing supporters. It’s even reflected in her merch, whether sold directly by the Official Team Harris store or beyond.
Since Harris’ bid for president began, a wide range of merch has cropped up. The “Harris/Walz” forest camo (or “Kamo”) hat that garnered headlines and sold out quickly (but will be back in stock on Sept. 30) was definitely for the outdoorsy set — especially those from Walz’s state, Minnesota. But a T-shirt in collaboration with Aurora James? That’s for the fashion girlies.
Other items featuring vintage photos of Harris from her childhood and days at Howard seem to be betting on a certain generation’s penchant for nostalgia (and eras they weren’t even alive to personally experience — ahem, Millennials). T-shirts and crewnecks ranging from stately classic presidential aesthetics to “subtle” and stylish vibes can be found a-plenty. You can grab a pair of earrings, candles with quippy messages of support, or 40 ounce water tumblers with a handle (because, yes, they exist). And for those who like simple, non-overly committal items like basic stickers and pins, Kamala’s got those, too — in abundance.
But for those who may want something else, trust and believe there is a piece of Harris (and Walz) merch for you. As her base continues to grow and become more diverse by the day, naturally, the merch surrounding her is, too. Below, we’ve gathered some of our favorite Kamala Harris merch from Black brands.
1. “Comma La” merch you can wear

If you love the clever wordplay (or is punctuation play?) of using a literal comma followed by “la” to phonetically break down the presidential candidate’s name, you’ll love rocking it on a cozy sweatshirt. Plenty of time to score one for a chilly November trip to the polls.

Merch isn’t all about what you can wear. For some, it’s about what they can use, like a tote bag. For those looking for a multipurpose way to show their allegiance, Legend Influence has its own rendition of the “comma la” wordplay slapped across a black tote bag.

It’s almost surprising there’s not more coconut tree-themed merch, given how sensational it became once Harris her mother’s words, “You think you just fell out of a coconut tree?” Crafted in reference to younger generations understanding what’s come before them, luckily a few gems can be found.

From Harris and Walz’s official store to many different Etsy shops and beyond, airbrushed tees in the style of concert tour merch can be found all over. As concerts and festivals are some of the biggest mainstream events for younger crowds, it makes sense. We recommend snagging yours from one of the originators, a brand that exists to support women like Harris in reaching their highest potential.
