So you've finally binged your way through Dimension 20, laughed until you choked on Game Changer, yelled along to Make Some Noise, and stared blankly at Very Important People wondering if you're the weird one (you are - and that's a compliment). Welcome to the Dropout family. Now comes the real question: what merch should you buy first?
This isn't one of those corporate listicles that treats you like a wallet with legs. We're here to help you find the perfect piece of Dropout swag that screams "I've watched this show 47 times and I still don't understand the rules of Aabria's dice system." Let's get into it.
Welcome to Dropout: What Kind of Fan Are You?
Before you throw money at the screen, figure out which Dropout show lives rent-free in your head. Are you a Dimension 20 fan who cries at Bad Kid backstories? A Game Changer devotee who quotes "Like the back of a Volkswagen..." at every opportunity? A Make Some Noise enthusiast who can't help but participate in every prompted sound? Or a Very Important Person who genuinely feels seen by Vic's awkwardness?
Your merch should reflect your brand. If you're a Dimension 20 person, you want something that says "I know what a bagel with cream cheese and a ham sandwich means." If you're Game Changer, you want chaos. If you're Make Some Noise, you want volume. If you're VIP, you want... well, the weirder the better. We'll break down the essential gear for each type of fan - and trust us, you'll want at least one item from every show eventually. This is your journey. Own it.
The Must-Have Items for Dimension 20 Lovers
Dimension 20 fans are a special breed. You've cried at least once during The Unsleeping City, you know the exact episode where Gilear becomes a hero, and you've tried to explain the Corn Cuties plot to a friend who now thinks you're insane. Your merch should honor that beautiful obsession.
Start with a classic - the Dimension 20 Logo Hoodie. It's soft, it's subtle, and it lets other fans know you're part of the cult. But if you want to go deeper, grab the Bad Kids T-dropout merch store shirt with the iconic fantasy high logo. It's the perfect balance of "I'm cool" and "I'm a nerd." For the true heads, the Gilear the Yogurt Dad enamel pin is a conversation starter that only the initiated will understand. And if you can find a limited edition Starstruck Odyssey patch, you're basically a legend.
Pro tip: The Dimension 20 merchandise tends to sell out fast during new seasons, so set an alert for restocks. Nothing hurts worse than seeing a "Sold Out" sign on a hats & caps collection that says "Brennan's Bizarre Adventure."
Game Changer Gear for the Chaos Enthusiast
Game Changer is the show where anything can happen - and usually does. If you're the kind of person who loves unpredictability, sharp wit, and Brennan's patented "What the hell is going on" face, your merch should match that energy.
The Game Changer Logo Tee is essential - it's the uniform of the chaos army. But the real star is the "Noise Boys" Hat (if you can find it) or the "Like the Back of a Volkswagen" Tote Bag. For maximum inside-joke status, grab the "The True Enemy Is the Chair" sweatshirt - fans of the escape room episode will lose their minds. And let's be honest: wearing a hoodie that says "It's Fine" in the Game Changer font is a mood.
One fan, Sarah from Texas, says: "I wore my Game Changer hoodie to a bar and three strangers started a full conversation about the Samuel episode. Best icebreaker ever." That's the power of good merch.
Make Some Noise Merch for the Loud and Proud
Make Some Noise is the show that rewards pure volume and creativity. If you've ever yelled out a sound effect in public and felt no shame, this is your aisle. The merch is engineered to be seen and heard.
First up: the Make Some Noise Baseball Tee. It's comfy, it's striking, and it lets everyone know you're not afraid to scream. The Soundboard T-Shirt (with voice lines printed on it) is a fun way to show off your favorite bits. And for the absolute enthusiast, the "This Is Not a Bit" Beanie is perfect for those cold days when you need to keep your head warm while reenacting the "Corporate Retreat" challenge.
A tip from the Dropout community: pair your Make Some Noise gear with a loud voice. Okay, that's not a real tip, but a good conversation starter at conventions is asking someone to do their best Jacob Wysocki impression. You'll make friends (or enemies - depends on the impression).
Very Important People Apparel for the Unapologetically Weird
Very Important People is the show where Vic Michaelis interviews characters so odd that reality bends. If you find comfort in the uncomfortable silence and laugh at the most awkward moments, you need merch that matches your energy.
The VIP Logo Hoodie is deceptively simple - it's a plain black hoodie with the logo in silver, but it screams "I'm in the know." The "This Is Fine on Fire" T-Shirt (featuring a cartoon burning chair) is a hit with the existential crowd. And the Vic's Face Mosaic Pint Glass is essential for your next Zoom drinking game - just don't blame us if you spill when Vic drops a bombshell.
"I wore my VIP t-shirt to a party and three people asked if I was okay," says Jordan from Ohio. "I told them no, and we became best friends." That's the essence of VIP.
Tips for Building Your Collection Without Breaking the Bank
Dropout merch is great, but it's not cheap. Here's how to get the most out of your budget without selling a kidney.
First, start with one signature piece per show. A hoodie from your favorite series, a t-shirt from another, an accessories collection from a third. That way you have variety without emptying your wallet. Second, sign up for the Dropout newsletter (link at the end of this post) - they occasionally drop discount codes or announce sales before the public. Third, buy during holiday sales - Black Friday and end-of-season clearances are your friends.
Also consider bundling. Sometimes Dropout offers multi-item bundles at a slight discount. And if you're a college student or teacher, check if there's a discount (hint: sometimes there is for educators - shoutout to the teachers who use Dimension 20 in class).
Finally, don't feel pressured to own everything. The best merch is the one you actually wear and love. If you buy a piece that doesn't fit your vibe, it'll just sit in your closet. Be intentional. Be you. And maybe, just maybe, buy that Gilear pin.
