Riverdale Merchandise Coming to Hot Topic

Ever since Riverdale premiered on The CW earlier this year, the show has been praised by fans for its unique adaptation of the Archie Comics roster of characters. Many complimented the show’s wardrobe choices, which combined modern teenage fashion with the show’s dark and retro aesthetic.

And now, fans will be able to add Riverdale-inspired fashion into their own wardrobe, thanks to Hot Topic. The popular merchandise and clothing retailer recently announced their upcoming Riverdale line via Twitter.

In the tweet, Hot Topic also provided fans with their first look at a piece from the line – a t-shirt featuring Riverdale‘s fan-favorite heartthrob, Jughead Jones (Cole Sprouse).

In addition to the Jughead shirt, Hot Topic teased that there will be more pieces to the Riverdale line, but they were vague on the exact details. According to their Twitter, fans can also own their very own version of Jughead’s beanie, which is expected to hit store shelves in September of this year.

There is no official release date as to when the full Riverdale clothing line will be available, but Hot Topic has teased that the Jughead shirt could be in stores within the next few weeks.

Riverdale is now streaming on Netflix. Season 2 will premiere on Wednesday, October 11th, at 8/7c.

The first season of RIVERDALE found our characters reeling from the tragic death of high school golden boy Jason Blossom. For many who had seen their home as perfect, safe, and innocent, the investigation into Jason’s murder peeled back the layers of their hometown to reveal a place bubbling over with secrets, mysteries, and scandals. Archie Andrews (KJ Apa), for instance, grew from a sweet, all-American kid into a young man acutely aware of the darker side of life—he broke his best friend’s heart, had a forbidden relationship with his music teacher, and grappled with whether he wanted to follow in his dad’s salt-of-the-earth footsteps. On the positive side, Archie repaired his friendship with Jughead Jones (Cole Sprouse), found some success as a musician—thanks in part to Josie McCoy (Ashleigh Murray) and her band, the Pussycats—and found a new romantic interest in femme fatale Veronica Lodge (Camila Mendes). New to town, Veronica spent the season trying to atone for her “bad girl” past, all the while wrestling with her beloved father’s criminal legacy—and contending with a mother, Hermione (Marisol Nichols), who might not be as innocent as she claimed. Veronica became fast-friends with Archie’s girl-next-door neighbor, Betty Cooper (Lili Reinhart), who did some growing up of her own this season. After Archie’s rejection, Betty threw herself into running the school paper, “The Blue and Gold,” where she discovered a better romantic match in sardonic outsider Jughead. Together, they tracked down Betty’s sister Polly (guest star Tiera Skovbye), who had been sent away by their overbearing mother Alice (Mädchen Amick). Under the guise of writing for the school paper, Betty and Jughead investigated Jason Blossom’s death—which led to them discover that Jughead’s father—FP Jones (guest star Skeet Ulrich)—was involved with covering up Jason’s murder. Meanwhile, Jason’s twin sister Cheryl (Madelaine Petsch) ruled the school as Riverdale High’s venomous, merciless Red Queen—until she learned the true identity of Jason’s killer. As the town breathed a collective sigh of relief that Jason’s killer had been found out, another terrible crime occurred, in a space that had been considered one of the town’s safest, most innocent places. If Jason Blossom’s murder revealed the slimy underbelly beneath Riverdale‘s surface, as we enter Season Two, the shooting of Fred Andrews threatens to plunge the entire town into utter darkness.

Based on the characters from Archie Comics, RIVERDALE is from Warner Bros. Television and CBS Television Studios, in association with Berlanti Productions, with executive producers Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa (Supergirl, Glee), Greg Berlanti (Arrow, The Flash, Supergirl, DC’s Legends of Tomorrow), Sarah Schechter (Arrow, The Flash, Supergirl, DC’s Legends of Tomorrow) and Jon Goldwater (Archie Comics).
