In 2018, for Pride Month, Nike released a collection of shoes featuring pink triangles.Īlthough the pink triangle has been reclaimed as an empowering symbol, it is ultimately a reminder to never forget the past-and to recognize the persecution LGBT people still face around the world. Nautica Kids captures the iconic style and functionality of the adult Nautica brand, reinvented for kids. From the research, we saw that Pride means different things. Available in more than 65 countries worldwide, Nautica is one of the most recognised American brands in the world, with over 70 categories including apparel and accessories for men and women. There are pink triangle memorials in San Francisco and Sydney, which honor LGBT victims of the Holocaust. It then applied this research to its 2018, PrideMatters, which questioned the different ways Pride matters to the LGBTQ+ community.
Since the 1990s, signs bearing a pink triangle enclosed in a green circle have been used as a symbol identifying “safe spaces” for queer people. The triangle continues to figure prominently in imaging for various LGBT organizations and events. The poster was soon adopted by the organization ACT UP and became a lasting symbol of the AIDS advocacy movement. In 1986, six New York City activists created a poster with the words SILENCE = DEATH and a bright pink upward-facing triangle, meant to call attention to the AIDs crisis that was decimating populations of gay men across the country. Afterwards, it began cropping up in other LGBT circles around the world.
