Attention scientists,

We are pleased to let you know that we have launched a brand new Crowbar Collective merch store, just in time for the holidays! The store offers a wide range of themed merchandise that’s sure to bring joy to any Black Mesa or Crowbar Collective fan.

You can check out all the merch HERE!

One tip before you head out scientists, the hoodies run a little on the small side. The medium sample we got fit a medium build, but was just a bit tight. The store has a 30 Day “Make it Right” Policy.

We can’t wait to see you walking around the facility in your new Crowbar Collective gear! We hope you all have had a great start to the holiday season! Thanks.

- The Crowbar Collective Team
