Rainbow Riders LGBTQ+ youth and ally apparel featuring the collection’s unicorn mascot and collegiate-inspired designs.

Stand Together. Belong Everywhere.

Rainbow Riders is a unified apparel collection created to empower LGBTQ+ youth, their friends, and allies. Inspired by the unmistakable spirit of school and university athletics, the collection transforms belonging into a team identity—one that celebrates courage, individuality, and the strength found in standing together.

The unicorn is the official mascot of Rainbow Riders. Bold, legendary, and proudly unlike anything else, it represents the courage to remain true to yourself in a world that often pressures young people to conform. Like every great mascot, the Rainbow Riders unicorn unites the community under one symbol and reminds each member: You belong on this team.

 

For many LGBTQ+ students, traditional Pride imagery can attract unwanted attention or harassment. Rainbow colors and Pride symbols have also faced restrictions in some schools and public institutions. Rainbow Riders offers a more subtle form of recognition—a symbol LGBTQ+ students and allies can use to identify one another without requiring anyone to reveal more about themselves than they feel safe sharing.

For many young people, displaying traditional Pride imagery can feel complicated. Rainbow colors may attract unwanted attention, and Pride symbols have faced growing restrictions in some schools and public institutions. Recent research also continues to document harassment and increasingly hostile school climates for LGBTQ+ students. GLSEN’s 2025 National School Climate Survey and reporting on restrictions involving Pride flags in schools confirm that these concerns are real.

The collection will grow into an imaginative world of collegiate, athletic, and club-inspired apparel. Rainbow Riders can represent everything from football, hockey, basketball, and rodeo to chess club, debate, music, and the arts. Whatever your passion, there is a place for you on this team—and every team is connected through the Rainbow Riders name and its unicorn mascot.

Rainbow Riders is more than an apparel collection. It is a declaration that LGBTQ+ youth deserve to learn, compete, create, and build their futures without fear. Wear it proudly or quietly; let it speak boldly or serve as a signal understood by those who need it most.

 

Stand together. Claim your place. Change the future. Explore the Rainbow Riders Collection.
