Taste of Bloomington Merch

The Taste of Bloomington is coming back! Mark your calendars!

August 2nd, 3pm-10pm on Kirkwood Ave. There will be food and beer and wine and spirits and live music! And the event is absolutely free to get into! And all of the food available will be $5 or less! Bring your friends! Bring your families!

badknees is beyond stoked to be the official merch maker for the event. We will be donating 25% of sales to Taste of Bloomington to ensure this event will keep going on forever.

We are working hard to get a variety of items available for the big day. All of the stuff you see in this collection is available now for preorder. We've got some other ideas we're going to try to bring to life for the day of the event, but this is what we have now! We're offering you a 10% discount with code TASTE through July 28th as we are curious what items you are most interested in and have no idea how much merch to make for an event like this. If you see something you like, snag it now!

We are planning to have this merch available for you to pick up by July 30th.

Free shipping and free badknees tote bag on orders $100+

badknees is a small screen printing operation in Bloomington, Indiana run by me, Jim. It started in my basement 2015ish as hobby while I was teaching. It soon became a side hustle, and then it became my full-time venture in 2019. I print words and animals and sometimes a combination of both onto shirts. We print with waterbased ink most of the time. Occasionally we use screen printed transfers and heat apply them onto shirts. Ask us questions if you have them. I have an awesome 3-person team and we will get back to you in a very timely manner. Unless it's the weekend. We try to not answer questions on the weekend.

Sign up today and save 10% on your first order of artisanally crafted T-shirts and goods. Once or twice a month, we'll reach out with new stuff and some sweet discounts.
