Legacy Gear + Disaffected! Movement: Historical Figures Capsule

Where history meets advocacy — and fashion becomes a form of action.

The Historical Figures Capsule by Legacy Gear + Disaffected! honors the visionaries who changed the course of American history by daring to speak truth, demand justice, and move the nation forward. Each piece in this limited-edition series fuses minimalist design with powerful messaging, creating apparel that both commemorates and activates.

The debut release features Shirley Chisholm, the first Black woman elected to Congress and the first to seek a major party’s nomination for President of the United States. Her campaign mantra, “Unbought & Unbossed,” remains a rallying cry for independent thinkers and bold leaders today.

Every garment in this collection includes an integrated QR code linking directly to our Advocacy in Action platform — where wearers can engage with civic initiatives like our campaign to Make Election Day a Federal Holiday.

This is more than clothing — it’s Authentic Advocacy Apparel.
A bridge between the past and the progress still to come.

Wear the Movement. Join the Legacy.
