AH_6db154b2-ede9-11ef-9bcc-00155dcd4802As the ice cover recedes, plants begin to emerge, snow increasingly takes on a pink hue due to algae, and both water and air grow warmer each year. Global warming is causing such dramatic transformations in nature that it almost seems like palm trees will soon take root on the southernmost continent!
Inspired by these changes, we created a T-shirt to highlight the issue of climate change in our own way and emphasize the crucial work of our polar researchers. The design features a group of Subantarctic penguins making their way to the "Akademik Vernadsky" station, eager to relax in Antarctica’s warming waters—somewhere between a palm tree near the station and our icebreaker, Noosphere—while scientists work tirelessly to find solutions to this pressing problem.
AH_f9c589d0-870e-11ef-9bca-00155dcd4802If Dumbledore had seen the helmet of the 12th Brigade pilot with the call sign BIN, he would have been completely freaked out. Because only someone truly brave could combine a cigar, Harry Potter, and a swear word in one image. BIN says that his helmet was painted by a girl from Novyi Kalyniv, the young pilot’s wife. The pilot picked the image for the mask from a US pilot, but added a golden tooth in his own variation. The main highlights are the messages in Latin (with a boisterous touch). On the back to the right, there is the inscription ‘Fortes fortuna adiuvat’, which means ‘Fate helps the brave’. On the front, there is the legendary killing spell ‘Avada Kedavra’ from Harry Potter, and BIN added the word KURWA to make sure.

AH_0963c934-870f-11ef-9bca-00155dcd4802One glance at the helmet of the pilot with the call sign BUBI is enough to understand where he comes from. The symbol of the 12th Army Aviation Brigade is the dragon, so as soon as the young pilot joined the service in Novyi Kalyniv, the issue of a helmet print was out of the question. And since the pilot, as he claims, does not look his age, he added a small dragon on the side and near the call sign. Next to it, there is the inscription ‘Fidelis et fortis’, which in Latin means ‘Faithful and brave’.

AH_b6fc04dc-870e-11ef-9bca-00155dcd4802HUNTER says the story behind his helmet began with a simple patch of a Cossack image that happened to catch his eye. He liked the look with the moustache and oseledets so much that the 12th Brigade pilot decided to make his own helmet in a similar style. He decided to paint only on the protective mask, which seems to be designed to look like a Cossack moustache, and picked a few spots on the helmet for the same patch and national symbols. He borrowed the idea of decorating the helmet with themed patches from American pilots, where it has long been one of the established traditions.

AH_e88f1bdf-870e-11ef-9bca-00155dcd4802The character depicted on the helmet was created by an art teacher and Army Aviation pilot with the call sign Qnesko. The main highlight of the helmet is its yellow-blue eyes and razor-sharp teeth. As the pilot himself claims, the image comes to life as soon as someone encroaches on Ukraine.
On one side of the helmet is the pilot’s call sign, and on the other is the inscription DEATH ON CALL, and behind it, there is some space for a patch.

AH_e305be6e-caae-11ef-9bcb-00155dcd4802The French certainly know how to make Russia burn! Over two centuries ago, Moscow caught fire at the mere approach of Napoleon's army, leaving nothing but ashes of the swamp-dwelling Mordor's capital by the time he entered the city. History runs in cycles, and now Russia is once again feeling the heat - this time from Franco-British Storm Shadow/SCALP missiles, with French Mirage 2000 aircraft soon to join the party. Following our cherished tradition, we're materializing our aspirations in clothing even before these jets appear in our skies.
The Mirage 2000 will become the second Western fighter jet delivered to Ukraine, following the F-16. These aircraft will be equipped with cutting-edge air-to-ground systems, capable of carrying Western missiles, and their radars can simultaneously detect 24 aerial targets, track 8, and engage 4 of them at once!
AH_d7ccd5cc-caae-11ef-9bcb-00155dcd4802За старою доброю традицією, які тільки на обрії москви з'являються французи, вона горить сама собою - доведено Наполеоном. Ми створили футболку про французький винищувач Mirage 2000 ще до того, як в радіообмінах наших пілотів зазвучало палке французьке Bonjour для окупантів, бо ті, хто з нами давно, знають, настільки блискавично зображення з нашого одягу матеріалізується в реальну техніку. Ото й зараз файно встигли, би вам було в чому зустрічати французьких пташок в українському небі!
AH_813b1f4d-b93a-11ef-9bcb-00155dcd4802In February 2022, a very special ‘religion’ appeared in Ukraine, uniting millions of people, regardless of their actual faith. People in all corners of the country, wrapped in a blanket and standing between two walls, hiding in basements and subways, or ducking down from explosions in the street, put their faith in Ukrainian air defence and asked ‘higher powers’ to protect them. And for the third year in a row, these higher powers wearing pixel have been doing a tremendous job 24/7 to ensure that as many Ukrainians as possible hear the air raid warning go silent and see that all russian missiles and shaheds fail to hit residential buildings and become mere numbers in the reports of the air defence forces. It is about these ‘higher powers’ wearing pixel that we have created a new men’s AIR DEFENCE T-shirt that speaks for itself. The front features a print with enemy ‘shaheds’ and a vehicle of the Air Defence Mobile Fire Groups against the background of a realistic radar that will glow at night. One chest, there are lines of a gentle lullaby «Спи, маленький, баю-бай. Всіх баранчиків спіймай» (‘Sleep, little one, rock-a-bye. Catch all the little lambs’). On the back, there are the same morning reports with downed enemy targets as a reminder that everything will be fine.
