‘North Face’ Ask Daniel Andrews: “Can You Please Stop Wearing Our Jackets?”

A heated stoush is developing between popular outdoor adventure clothing brand ‘The North Face’ and the Victorian Government.

Since the start of the Coronavirus pandemic, the state’s Premier Daniel Andrews has regularly been wearing North Face jackets.

Today, the popular US brand has formally requested he stop doing so.

“Firstly, dealing with the pandemic has absolutely nothing to do with outdoor adventure sports,” says a North Face spokesperson.

“And more importantly we don’t want our brand associated with Daniel Andrews.”

But the Victorian Premier – who announced a major easing of Covid restrictions today – told DBT he has no plans to stop wearing the jackets.

“I’m trying to appeal to my Labor supporter base by dressing like a man of action, not just a suit-wearing bureaucrat.”

“Besides, I purchased six identical North Face jackets when they were on sale at 20% off a few months ago.”
