Black Dog Vintage Photo Contest

We want your Vintage Black Dog Photo!

We’ve been getting such vacation envy from all those Spring Break Insta photos that we thought we’d mix things up with a little vacation photo contest of our own. We are looking for the best vintage vacation photo of you (and maybe your family, friends and your pup) in Black Dog gear. Whether it’s a Classic Tee, hoodie or hat, show us your old school Black Dog pride (anything from the 90’s or before earns a special prize). So, sift through those photo albums to find that vacation gem and enter our Vintage Vacation Contest for a chance to win a new 2023 Classic Tee and a $50 Black Dog gift card! For more details and to submit a photo click the link in our bio! 

Please be sure to review the details of our RELEASE and LICENSE before submitting your photo.
