🚨 NZSL MERCH PRE-ORDERS ARE OPEN. NOW NOW NOW. 🚨

An MS Paint–style background with a nostalgic, old‑school interface. Across the top, messy turquoise‑blue handwriting reads ‘pls buy our NZSL Week 2026 merch’. Below the text are five black hoodies and T‑shirts featuring Becky’s taonga artwork, with Craigo, Kat, Rosie, Erica and James’ faces wiggling on them. In the bottom-left corner is the NZSL Week logo, and in the bottom-right corner is a hand‑drawn coral‑orange heart.

Yes, our content creator is on holiday… (No, not really)
Yes, we made this reel in MS Paint…
Yes, the bobbing heads are intentional 😂
We’re having a bit of fun with this trend – but the merch? Very serious. VERY good. 🛍️✨
This limited-edition design celebrates 20 years of NZSL as an official language of Aotearoa 🤟

Why this artwork matters:
“The sign represents value and preciousness, and with the image of a crystal it reflects how I see NZSL: clear, strong, and full of light…
Like a butterfly 🦋, it allows the Deaf community and myself to spread our wings, fly, and flourish.
NZSL shines as a treasure, guiding me and shaping who I am.”

— Becky West

Stunning, right? 😍

Her vision captures exactly what we wanted — a celebration of NZSL as a taonga 💎
Clear. Strong. Full of light.
This is a one-off 20th anniversary design.
Just like previous years — once it’s gone, it’s gone.

Go on. You know you’d look good in it. 😉
