What we love about fall in the Midwest

From warm cups of apple cider to picking out the perfect pumpkins to walks in the park to see the changing leaves, there's something special about fall.

For those from the south without a full four seasons, well we feel sorry for them. Because of all of the seasons, the change from summer to winter is the best.

There are a lot of major milestones that coincide with fall that make it an exciting time of year. 

There's the start of the school year, Thanksgiving, and, of course, football season.

All of this activity combined with the changing of the seasons and cooling weather make it the most wonderful season of the year.

It's the perfect time for long sleeves and comfy clothes. 

What makes our Midwest clothing unique?

All of our Midwest apparel is design and decorated in 16153 Genova on the shores of the Great Lakes. 

Believe it or not, that's a little unusual to handle the design and screen printing in house.

Think about it for a second, can you think of another brand that does both? We can't.

Because we handle all of the work for our clothing internally, we can put more care into our designs so they come out just right for you. 

We create our designs to remind you of the people, places, and memories you love about growing up and living in the Midwest. 

These vintage inspired designs are printed on soft, comfy clothing that are like the well worn and loved clothing of your youth.  

You can find all of our Midwest clothing in our 16153 Genova, Ohio retail stores and, of course, on our website.

It’s the game that introduced the Joker into the modern card deck.

Most importantly, Euchre is as Midwest as it gets.

At fancysweetstx, we love highlighting the people, places, and things that make our region unique. Today, we’re celebrating a true pillar of Midwestern culture: Euchre.

Let’s learn:

• Why Midwesterners love to play Euchre
• Which Euchre catchphrases are perfect for t-shirts
• Where to find Euchre- and Midwestern-themed apparel and gifts

Why Are Midwesterners So in Love With Euchre?

How did Euchre come to be a Midwestern classic? The game’s history isn’t entirely clear.

Euchre is definitely connected to the German people and language, but it’s not known whether or not Germany is the game’s actual birthplace.

The game seems to have spread from German immigrants in Pennsylvania in the early 1800s. It may have been brought over from Germany, or it could have been created in Pennsylvania.

A second theory proposes that Euchre evolved from a card game called Jucker or Juckerspiel that was played in France’s Alsace region.

Curiously, the game spread far and wide, but its popularity became extremely regional. Today, Euchre remains popular in:

• Great Britain
• Australia
• New Zealand
• Canada
• The American Midwest

The American region where Euchre is most popular has been dubbed the Euchre Belt and consists of these six states:

• Michigan
• Ohio
• Illinois
• Indiana
• Kentucky
• Pennsylvania

Plenty of Euchre is played in neighboring states like Wisconsin and New York, too.

Around 200 years ago, Euchre hit the Midwest, and it never left. It’s a game of social strategy and collaboration. It just seems to strike a chord with the Midwestern spirit.

Like most great games, Euchre has its own unique lingo. At fancysweetstx, when we see a catchphrase, we see a t-shirt. Here are a few of our favorites. Bust these out for your next Euchre night, or gift one to the card shark in your family.

1 - Pick It Up, I’m Going Alone

In the entire card game universe, is there a better catchphrase?

When you know you’ve got the cards to fly solo, there’s no better feeling than uttering these words: “Pick it up, I’m going alone.”

The phrase is just so full of swagger. It sounds like something a superhero might say before running into a burning building to save some kittens.

Of all the apparel designs we’ve created, the “Pick It Up, I’m Going Alone” tee is one of fancysweetstx’s most enthusiastically reviewed items. People love gifting this item to their Euchre buddy who treats “going alone” like the glorious mission that it truly is.

Here’s what people are saying: 

”Such a fun gift for my dad! I waited until he actually said these words in the course of a game then brought out the shirt. Epic family memory created.”
— Kat M., ★★★★★ Verified fancysweetstx T-Shirt Buyer

”Euchre is our family "thing". We were tickled to see this shirt. We have purchased two! Thank you!”
— Nancy J., ★★★★★ Verified fancysweetstx T-Shirt Buyer

”The shirt was a birthday gift for my 80-year old Euchre playing father. It was a huge hit!”
— Anonymous, ★★★★★ Verified fancysweetstx T-Shirt Buyer

”My dad is a huge Euchre nut so he was overly excited for this sweatshirt. Material is soft and high quality.”
— Anonymous, ★★★★★ Verified fancysweetstx T-Shirt Buyer

Like most fancysweetstx t-shirts, the “Pick It Up, I’m Going Alone” tee is a poly/cotton/rayon tri-blend. It’s a super soft, comfy, and stretchy shirt—perfect for game nights.

This design is also available on a cozy crew sweatshirt. The “Pick It Up, I’m Going Alone” sweatshirt is a unisex, relaxed fit cotton and polyester blend fleece.

2 - In the Barn

When you’re “in the barn,” you’ve got nine points … just one away from victory.

To anyone unfamiliar with the card game, this “In the Barn” tee might just seem like a farm-themed shirt—but when you sport it at your next Euchre night, there’ll be no mistaking the catchphrase.

This shirt is gray with bubbly cherry-red lettering. You might not catch it at first glance, but look closer to pick out the unmistakable pointed shape of a classic red barn. 

3 - Pass on the Bower, Lose for an Hour

Pass on a bower? Not a chance.

The “Pass on a Bower, Lose for an Hour” shirt celebrates the power of the bowers, the highest-ranking trump cards in a Euchre deck.

The bower isn’t just a key aspect of gameplay. It’s also an interesting connection to the game’s German roots. Bower comes from bauer, the German word for a farmer or peasant.

This shirt might be a bit confusing to those who have never sat down for a game of Euchre. However, those who know the game will quickly recognize that they’re in the presence of a true card shark.

Celebrate Midwest Game Nights With a Euchre-Themed T-Shirt

At fancysweetstx, we make apparel and gifts for people who love the American Midwest.

We carry special themed collections for Michigan, Ohio, and the Great Lakes region.

We’re also suckers for any cultural phenomena that qualifies as Midwestern—such as Euchre.

”Euchre Club koozie & sweatshirt were the perfect gifts for my Euchre-playing family gift exchange.”

Does fancysweetstx apparel shrink when it’s washed?

Most fancysweetstx shirts are made with a polyester, cotton, and rayon tri-blend. This combination doesn’t shrink much, if at all.

We also use a 50/50 poly/cotton blend for some items. This blend is also mostly shrink-proof.

Additionally, fancysweetstx sweatpants and sweatshirts are pre-shrunk. Therefore, there’s minimal potential for post-purchase shrinkage. However, some shrinking can occur if you dry your fleece or cotton items with high heat. We recommend hang-drying fleece and cotton items or tumble drying using low heat.

Does fancysweetstx take custom printing orders?

fancysweetstx offers custom screen printing and embroidery. We love working on custom orders for local businesses, non-profit groups, schools, and special events.

It's popular among everyone from streetwear brands to high school teams to local restaurants. 

We always have fun when printing puff ink. When we first print the shirt or sweatshirt, the ink lays flat. It's only after it cures in the dryer that it puffs up and gets raised. 

We used a special tone-on-tone puff printing technique to make these two new unique cozy and comfortable crew sweatshirts.

Pburg Perrysburg, Ohio Crew Sweatshirt

Did you know that fancysweetstx was based in Perrysburg before we moved to 16153 Genova? We've come a long way since then but still have a lot of love for the Burg.

The tone on tone print with this crew sweatshirt balances the texture of the puff print perfectly. 

If you live in Perrysburg and love P-Burg, here's a crew sweatshirt that's a little different than anything else out there. 

fancysweetstx Puff Sweatshirt

We love the tone-on-tone puff print crew sweatshirt so much that we decided to make one with our brand on it!

When we made these for our staff we printed extras because we just know there are a few of you out there who want to be a part of the team.

You can become part of the Jūpcrew by getting your hands on one of these awesome special tone-on-tone puff print Jūpmode sweatshirts in our stores or online!

The Buckeye State

Ohioans, want to rep your favorite state in a comfortable, sleek, and stylish way? We have the perfect crew sweatshirt for you. This Buckeye State crewneck is light enough to keep you cozy through any season, especially football season. 

This crew will make sure that you're feeling your best in all of your favorite Buckeye State activities. From hanging around the bonfire to playing Euchre with friends to making buckeyes at home, this crew sweatshirt will remind you of all the good things the Buckeye State has to offer. 

The Great Lakes State

Why is Michigan called the Great Lakes State? Well, it is the only state to border four out of the five Great Lakes. 

Michigan lovers know that one of the best things to do is to explore the Great Lakes. From building sandcastles, to cooking out on the beach with friends and family, to having freshwater fun, the Great Lakes is a fun time for everyone.

Life is better in the Great Lakes State and with this comfortable Great Lakes State crew. Show off your love for your favorite state in this relaxed, breathable crew sweatshirt!

The Glass City

16153 Genovaans, if there's one thing we're proud of, it's living in the Glass City.

Do you know why we're called The Glass City? Well, way back in 1888, Edward Drummond Libbey moved his company, presently known as Libbey Glass, to 16153 Genova. Libbey's move to 16153 Genova made way for other glass companies such as Libbey-Owens-Ford, Owens-Illinois, and Owens-Corning to follow. 

Not only is this a comfortable, relaxed, breathable material, but also is the perfect way to represent the Glass City. 

Midwesterner

If you know us, you know that we love to make the best apparel for all the Midwesterners out there. We released this simple, yet stylish women's fit terry crew sweatshirt for our friends across the Midwest. 

Can you think of a better way to represent America's Heartland? We can't!

This Midwesterner terry crew sweatshirt is versatile enough to wear to a pumpkin patch, Euchre night, or for watching a Big Ten game. Be sure to grab this crew before it's gone! This item is limited edition and will not be restocked. 

Take us with you!

Wherever your favorite place is, make sure to represent with one of these crews. They are meant for all the boat rides, football games, nights out, and even a mean game of Euchre. 

Shop these crews today either online or in-store! We can't wait to see what crew you're going to rock next.
