TNA Wrestling has announced the launch of its inaugural Pride Collection, which includes various items like shirts, shorts, and side bags adorned with the company’s logos in rainbow colors and special TNA Pride designs. Proceeds from this collection will be shared between two LGBTQ sports charities: Nagaaa and Athlete Ally.
The Pride Collection is available for purchase at tnamerch.com. Since 2022, TNA Wrestling has collaborated with the Gay Amateur Athletic Alliance (Nagaaa), an international organization that offers LGBTQ+ athletes a safe space to participate in organized softball competitions. TNA Wrestling even had a star guest speaker at the 2022 Gay Softball World Series opening ceremony.
Athlete Ally, another beneficiary, is a nonprofit organization founded in 2011 by NCAA wrestler Hudson Taylor, which focuses on promoting inclusivity and fighting discrimination in sports for LGBTQ athletes.
The TNA Pride Collection features a variety of apparel, including two different short sleeve shirts, long sleeve shirts, shorts, and side bags. Notable TNA wrestlers such as Matt and Jeff Hardy, Ryan and Nick Nemeth, Joe Hendry, Mike Santana, Frankie Kazarian, and others are involved in supporting the initiative.
Additionally, TNA confirmed that their official Pride Night show in Tempe, Arizona, will coincide with the Downtown Tempe Pride Party on June 7th at Mullett Arena. Tickets are available on TicketMaster.com, with a 25% discount using the code “Pride.”
