"Are you wearing the —" "The pink Nike sweatshirt? Yeah, I am." Such has become the refrain for a small but mighty sizeable pocket of the internet known as Gay Twitter™. Like the strawberry dress on TikTok, a seemingly unremarkable clothing item has achieved unlikely ubiquity.
The Nike Sportswear Club Fleece, priced at a reasonable $45, is about as elemental as a garment can get: a fleece sweatshirt with an embroidered logo on the left upper chest. The sweatshirt comes in 18 colors (two of which, excluding the pinksicle colorway as it's referred to on the site, are sold out). The sweatshirt is less distinct in its style than it is its sizing, of which 15 variant options are offered ranging from SX to 4XL Tall. So why, like Chris Pratt before it, are we talking about something so seemingly banal?
