Team Algae began with a simple observation: sometimes the clearest reflection in Washington is green.
What started as a water feature became a spectacle. A problem was declared solved, a victory lap was taken, and then biology quietly entered the chat. No press conference. No talking points. Just a bloom doing what blooms do: growing truth to power.
We are here for the algae.
Not because algae is glamorous. But because algae showed up, told the truth, and reminded everyone that reality has a funny way of resurfacing.
Team Algae makes officially unofficial merch for swamp creatures, civic skeptics, monument walkers, and anyone who has ever watched an obvious metaphor become merchandisable.
Wear it proudly. Wear it irresponsibly. Wear it while reflecting at the pool itself.
The Reflecting Pool didn’t fail. It reflected our truth.
How Orders Work
Team Algae is officially unofficial, but the checkout is real. Orders are processed securely through Shopify, and products are printed and fulfilled through Printify and its production partners.
Each item is made on demand, because even swamp creatures deserve responsible inventory management. And unlike certain fixtures in Washington, we are not all made of gold.
Production and shipping times may vary by product and destination, and tracking will be provided once your order ships.
