It doesn’t exist yet, but the Atlantic Schooners Football Club – Halifax’s proposed CFL team – is already selling swag.
Alyse Hand, a spokeswoman for the group, says merchandise including T-shirts, hoodies, socks and tuques with the club logo are now available from an online store.

Hand says the site was launched just before Christmas “as a way to get Schooners fans excited about a future team.”
She says sales have been steady since the launch, and some sizes have sold out.
The clothing is made in Atlantic Canada by the Truro, N.S.-based Stanfield’s Ltd.
