Under green northern lights, a grizzly pauses on the tundra and lifts its nose to the night air.

The Aurora Grizzly Badge carries Alaska's wild north on this denali shirt, a roomy men's tee with one big round badge up front. Wear it on the park road, out on a cruise deck or long after you're home, and give it to anyone with a bear sighting they still talk about.

Inside the Aurora Grizzly Badge

A brown bear fills the middle of the scene, standing side-on across orange-brown tundra with its head tipped up toward the sky. Golden fur with dark shading, a strong hump over the shoulders and bold outlines give the animal real weight, and tufts of grass and two grey rocks sit around its paws.

Behind the bear, a range of blue mountains with paler highlights stretches across the middle distance, with no single summit picked out. Higher up, wide ribbons of green aurora sweep across a deep-blue night sky sprinkled with small white stars.

DENALI NATIONAL PARK arcs along the upper edge in rust-orange capitals on a white band, and EST. 1917 is set small at its base. Thin orange rings on either side of that band frame the picture, which fills the chest area while the back stays blank.

Heavier cotton, easy fit, sturdy seams

• 100% cotton weighing 6.1 oz/yd² (206.8 g/m²): a substantial shirt that still feels gentle when you pull it on
• Dyeing happens after the shirt is sewn, so the tone comes out soft and broken-in instead of a crisp store-bought look
• Cut relaxed, with extra ease through the chest and body, so it layers easily under an open flannel or a rain shell
• Neck and shoulder seams are backed with tape for added strength at the points that carry a camera strap or a pack
• Every edge, from the wide 7/8″ collar to the armholes, sleeves and hem, is stitched twice for a tidy, durable finish

Who it's for

Alaska travelers, cruise passengers adding a land tour, wildlife watchers who scan every slope for a bear, and night-sky chasers who stay up late for the aurora. Wear it on the train north, around a lodge fire pit or back home while sorting trip photos. It works as a birthday present, a Father's Day gift or a holiday surprise.

Quick answers

What does EST. 1917 refer to?

It marks the year the park was first set aside. The park has carried the Denali name since 1980, and the badge keeps both: the name across the top and the founding year at the bottom.

Is the bear a grizzly?

The art doesn't label it, but the golden-brown coat and the muscular shoulder hump are the classic marks of a grizzly, the brown bear that roams the park's open tundra.

I'm between two sizes. Which way should I go?

This men's tee is already cut with some room. Compare the numbers in the size guide next to the size options with a shirt you already like, and go with the size that comes closest.

How do I keep the badge looking good?

Turn the shirt inside out before it goes in the machine, use cold water with like colors and a low dryer setting, and don't press an iron directly over the print.
