Where Can Fans Buy Merchandise Endorsed By Hank Green?

I still get excited whenever I spot someone wearing a Nerdfighter tee in public — it reminds me of the time I grabbed one at VidCon and promptly spilled coffee on it (true story). If you want merchandise that Hank Green has actually endorsed, the go-to place historically has been DFTBA Records (Don’t Forget To Be Awesome). They’ve carried Vlogbrothers gear, Nerdfighter items, and a lot of creator-collab pieces tied to Hank’s projects. I usually search there first because it’s where much of the community’s official swag has been sold.

Beyond DFTBA, check the official stores connected to his channels and projects. SciShow and Crash Course sometimes have branded items in their shops, and projects Hank backs — like Team Trees or Project for Awesome — often run limited-time merch drops where proceeds go to charity. Publishers also sell author-related items when he releases books, so I’ve snagged signed editions and bookish merch through publisher shop pages and event booths.

If you want to be safe, follow Hank’s social accounts or sign up for newsletters; he announces merch drops, collabs, and charity campaigns there. I usually wait for those official links rather than hunting random marketplaces, because a lot of the charm is knowing the purchase supports causes or creators I care about.

When I want an endorsed Hank Green item these days I usually check a few reliable places: DFTBA (Don’t Forget To Be Awesome) for Nerdfighter and Vlogbrothers gear, the official SciShow or Crash Course shops for channel-related items, and any special campaign shops for things tied to Team Trees or Project for Awesome. Publishers and event merch tables (like at book tours or VidCon) can also have official, signed, or limited-run pieces.

I tend to follow Hank’s social posts or newsletter links before buying, since that’s the quickest way to confirm something is truly endorsed. If you care about charity-minded drops, timing matters — those shirts and bundles sometimes sell out fast. Personally, I like knowing my purchase supports projects or creators I respect, so I usually wait for those official announcements before splurging.

My first impulse is to give you the short shopping map: start with DFTBA (Don’t Forget To Be Awesome), check any official channel shops (SciShow, CrashCourse), and keep an eye on charity campaign stores like Team Trees or Project for Awesome. I’ve bought a SciShow enamel pin and a Vlogbrothers hoodie this way, and both were clearly listed as official merch.

A small detour I always take: verify the link from Hank’s own posts. He posts dispatches about drops, and those posts usually link to the exact shop page. Also, conventions like VidCon, BookCon, and author signings sometimes have exclusive items, so if you enjoy hunting for limited editions, those events are gold. Be cautious about unofficial sellers on marketplaces — cool as fan art can be, it’s not the same as endorsed merchandise and sometimes the quality and proceeds differ. Supporting the official outlets means supporting the creators and the causes they care about, which is why I stick to those routes most of the time.
