National Park Tees from Hanes Available in Walmart

HanesBrands (asi/59528) just made supporting our national parks as easy as putting on a T-shirt. 

A collection of the brand’s ComfortWash T-shirts supporting the National Park Foundation will be stocked in select Walmart stores near nine national parks. Each store will carry one design to promote its regional recreation area.

Hanes and the National Park Foundation launched a five-year partnership last April to encourage awareness of America’s parks. The partnership is expected to generate at least $4 million for the park foundation.

“For Hanes, our commitment to comfort goes far beyond the clothing we create,” said Rachel Newman, vice president and general manager of Hanes’ activewear business. “We are committed to being an apparel industry leader in environmental stewardship and social responsibility. Through this partnership we are focused on inspiring more people to embrace, visit, support and protect our national park treasures.”  

The collection of 100% cotton crewneck T-shirts will feature different designs that promote the regional recreation centers near the following nine national parks: Acadia National Park, Blue Ridge Parkway, Grand Canyon National Park, Grand Teton National Park, Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Olympic National Park, Rocky Mountain National Park, Yosemite National Park and Zion National Park.

The garment-dyed T-shirts have a vintage, lived-in look and are made of ultra-soft ring-spun cotton from U.S. farms. The shirts have a suggested retail price of $15.96. In addition to being sold a select Walmarts, the national park tees are available for purchase on Hanes’ website.
