Role Model Clothing is back for good with a brand new collection!

HAPPY APRIL FOOL’S DAY!

The moment we’ve all been waiting for ever since 2010 when Pierre’s, Chuck’s and Patrick’s clothing line Role Model Clothing was indefinitely discontinued is finally here! After teasing us all with two new designs at the merch stands of the No Pads, No Helmets… Just Balls tour earlier this year, the three enterpreneurs now confirmed that they are in fact bringing their Role Model baby back for good with a whole new line of clothes and accessories designed just by them!

In the official press release, Chuck stated that it has been their plan all along to bring Role Model back in 2017:

It was the ultimate way for us to do a throwback to the No Pads, No Helmets… Just Balls era. We might have had “no helmets” back then, but we did have our own t-shirt company that a lot of people have been fans of ever since. Back in 2010 when we decided to “stop” producing more Role Model, what we actually wanted was to build up some tension among the fans only to make them even more excited now when the brand would be back in the same year that our first album celebrates its 15th anniversary. We’ve been planning this for years! And we’re so stoked it’s finally happening!”

And just as he’s teased for the past few months, starting today, Patrick will be officially joining the band on tour to sell the new Role Model collection next to Sim, who will remain in charge of the Simple Plan merch at a separate table.

For the first time ever, the rest of the band and crew also “agreed” to wear the brand to help with its promotion. Danny Vance, Simple Plan’s tour manager, admitted:

We have to do whatever Chuck tells us. He’s the boss. So.. now we all have to wear Role Model t-shirts everywhere – on the tourbus, backstage… even when we go out to hang out at a pub. People are starting to look at us weird. But I love these guys, so no hard feelings. I’d do anything for them.”

Below, you can finally check out some of the new Role Model items, which have now become available – besides t-shirts, you will also be able to find some cool new accessories, including earmuffs with incorporated headphones (to cover your ears during cold winters, while still being able to listen to music) and also the once-again hip chokers! As you can see, the RM items are modeled by Patrick Langlois and Chady Awad only. The choice to make these two the main models for Role Model Clothing was based on a recent study, which found out Simple Plan fans were developing crushes on these two co-6th-SP-members more than on any of the actual band members.

According to the info on the new RM website, the new collection was designed to more correspond with the current 2017 fashion needs of the three founding fathers of the brand and rumour has it there are even more exciting things planned for the next collection [to be introduced in fall 2017]! Pierre for example wants to introduce more muscle tank tops, which is an idea he got when he got too tired of cutting out his old Role Model t-shirts into tank-tops for the encore parts of the NPNHJB concerts. Patrick on the other hand would like to incroporate more fancy looking items, such as suits or silk nightwear.

Besides the merch stand, you will also be able to purchase the whole new Role Model collection online on its official website, where you can also see the whole full range of clothing and accessories that Role Model Clothing now carries. Click here to check it out!
