We’re thrilled to announce our latest merch drop at Portland Loo! Introducing three new awesome t-shirt designs that let you proudly wear your support for clean and humane bathroom access for everyone. These shirts don’t just make cool additions to your wardrobe; they’re powerful messages of Portland Loo’s central missions.
Whether you’re out and about or just lounging at home, these tees are a great way to show your commitment to making urban sanitation better for all. Plus, they’re super comfortable and easily go with anything. Let’s explore these latest designs and the meaning behind each.
Just Loo It – Take Action for Equal Bathroom Rights
A clever play on a sportswear classic, “Just Loo It” encourages action and advocacy for equal bathroom rights. All perceived human differences evaporate when nature calls. It’s a helpful daily reminder that we’re all the same deep down. Everyone deserves a sanitary, safe, and reliable place to go. As the most inclusive bathroom in the world, The Portland Loo is on a mission to solve bathroom inequality once and for all.
How? Great question! The Loo moves the needle forward in equal bathroom rights in the following ways:
- ADA-compliant dimension ensures the Loo is accessible to walkers, strollers, and wheelchairs.
- Sturdy grab bars offer additional assistance for the differently abled.
- The single-occupant, gender-neutral design welcomes EVERYONE.
- Easy-to-source and sturdy materials ensure cities get value for their money.
- The space-saving design enables the Loo to be placed anywhere in (or out) of the city for maximum accessibility.
No doubt you’ve seen countless versions of this classic slogan. However, few people know its fascinating and uplifting background. “Keep Calm and Carry On” was a motivational campaign launched by the British government in the throes of World War II. This inspiring and calming message was intended to create a society-wide camaraderie, confidence, and commitment. This slogan was displayed across the city to help everyone overcome the daily challenges together.
Our version “Keep Calm and Loo On” captures the same spirit by encouraging everyone to rise to the occasion. The widespread public restroom failures in the country are much lower stakes than a global conflict, but that’s all the more reason people need reminding and encouragement. It’s easy to forget all the ways limited bathroom access negatively impacts society, especially its most vulnerable populations. This shirt is a good reminder that this fight is still ongoing.
Loo & Order – Serving the Public One Stall at a Time
This spin on a TV classic celebrates the Portland Loo as the unsung hero of urban peace. This crime-fighting toilet is specifically designed to minimize and even prevent illicit behavior which other restrooms seem to attract. Some of these security-enhancing features include:
24/7 Accessibility – Round-the-clock access reduces public urination and defecation for cleaner, safer, and healthier streets.
Angled Louvers – A unique angled slat design balances privacy with public safety by minimizing drug use, squatting, and other illegal activity.
Stainless Steel Walls – Virtually indestructible steel-paneled walls are resistant to graffiti, damage, and other forms of vandalism.
Every Portland Loo a city installs serves the public with a crime-deterring punch. These dynamic toilets minimize the negative impacts of traditional restrooms while realizing the human right of restroom access. Plus, cities save a ton of money in the process. Think of it like a city-wide security force that never sleeps!
Meaningful Merch
The Portland Loo is much more than just a revolutionary restroom (which it is!); it’s a promise of a more equitable, safe, and accessible future for everyone. Buying one of these t-shirts is a contribution to this mission and a testament to your commitment to the cause. We greatly appreciate every purchase as it helps us continue our work and get the word out about the Loo.
