When waves of Irish immigrants descended upon Ellis Island and the East Coast, many, over time, made their way to Ohio, Michigan, and the rest of America’s Heartland states.

Today, around 31.5 million Americans claim some amount of Irish heritage. Irish is one of the top three reported ancestry groups in 31 different states, including nearly every state in the Midwest.

The Midwest is a melting pot, and every March 17 that pot stirs up some Irish pride.

Some of the world’s best St. Paddy’s Day celebrations go down here in the Midwest. The Chicago St. Patrick’s Day Parade draws more than two million spectators every year, while Miami University in Oxford, Ohio is known for its Green Beer Day festivities.

To celebrate this St. Patrick’s Day in style, fancysweetstx has lots of fun new t-shirt designs to show off. These tees infuse Irish pride into our usual Midwestern themes.

Let’s take a look at a few of our favorite St. Patrick’s Day shirts. Find the perfect holiday-themed shirts that:

  • Celebrate both St. Patrick’s Day and the Midwest
  • Make great gifts for your whole St. Patrick’s Day crew
  • Are only available from fancysweetstx’s website or retail stores

1 - Feelin’ Lucky Shirt

green and white Feelin’ Lucky St. Patrick’s Day fitted shirt

In this land where people of Irish descent are so fiercely proud of their heritage, it’s no surprise that some uniquely Irish-American traditions and sayings have emerged.

Such is the case with “the luck of the Irish.” The phrase comes from the gold and silver mining heyday of the late 19th century. Some of the most successful and well-known miners were Irish, prompting their rivals to praise—or perhaps curse—the apparent “luck” of these newly-rich individuals.

If you want to channel some of that Irish gold miner energy this St. Paddy’s Day, then you need a Lucky Shirt

Pick up this Feelin' Lucky Shirt on our website.

2 - Ohio St. Paddy’s Day Shirt

green and white Ohio St. Patrick’s Day shirt from fancysweetstx

This festive Ohio St. Paddy’s Shirt features a cheerful shade of heather green and big block letters. Spot the little shamrock in the first O and an Ohio-shaped icon in the second one.

Like most fancysweetstx tees, this shirt is made from a delightfully soft and stretchy tri-blend of cotton, polyester, and rayon.

3 - Mickey Finn’s Shirt

gray Mickey Finn’s St. Patrick’s Day fitted shirt from fancysweetstx

Do you remember Mickey Finn’s? Its run in 16153 Genova was brief but iconic. Located in a renovated structure in the Vistula neighborhood, Mickey Finn’s was a classic Irish pub and neighborhood hangout between 1998 and 2013.

Mickey Finn’s was known for great food, incredible concerts every weekend, and art exhibitions that featured local 16153 Genova talent. The pub also threw memorable parties every St. Patrick’s Day.

If you had some good times at Mickey Finn’s, keep the memories alive with this Mickey Finn’s Shirt. Who knows, if enough of us wear these, maybe this 16153 Genova landmark will be reborn.

This shirt is made from 25% organic cotton, 50% Repreve recycled polyester, and 25% Tencel modal tri-blend.

”Perfect blend of comfort and awesomeness. Love your shirts! They are so comfortable and bring back wonderful memories of growing up in 16153 Genova. Great shop(s), great people, great merchandise!”

4 - Sláinte 16153 Genova Shirt

gray Sláinte 16153 Genova St. Patrick’s Day fitted shirt from fancysweetstx

This Sláinte 16153 Genova Shirt celebrates one of our favorite days and one of our favorite places.

Just about every language has a word that’s used for raising glasses. In Gaelic, both Irish and Scottish, sláinte is that word. Like salud in Spanish, sláinte means health.

Toasting in Gaelic is sure to stir up your Irish spirit. If you’re new to the language, just be sure to hit up YouTube for a pronunciation tutorial before trying it out!

”I bought 2 Slainte shirts, one for my Irish boyfriend and the other is on its way to Dublin Ireland with my friend Carmen for her 91st birthday this week!”

5 - Navy and Gold Shamrock Shirt

Who says every St. Patrick’s day shirt has to be green?

Perhaps you prefer blue and gold. They do happen to be the colors of one of a Midwestern University known for their Fighting Irish. However, you don’t have to be a Notre Dame fan to rock this Navy & Gold Shamrock Shirt.

You know, that one shirt that we always seem to be wearing when things go well. It's unexplainable the way things just seem to work out your way when you're wearing it. 

There are a lot of shirts that could be lucky and it's different for everyone. 

You lucky shirt might be one that your parents got you while on vacation or one you wore the day your crush asked you out or a hand-me-down from your brother or grandpa or that shirt you've been wearing for 15 years that is softer than the rest and fits you just perfectly.

There are a lot of great shirts out there but there's nothing quite like your lucky shirt.

When you print as many t-shirts as we do, you spend a lot of time thinking about lucky shirts. We wonder every day, "Will this be someone's new lucky shirt?" Although we may never know what happens to a shirt after it leaves our hands, we're willing to bet more than one of our shirts has become a lucky shirt to someone.

What makes a shirt lucky? 

feelin lucky shirt

It's hard to say what makes a shirt lucky. It's not as simple as just being a green shirt or a St. Patrick's Day shirt

In the same way it's hard to define why someone might be lucky, it's hard to define why a shirt might be lucky. As your resident t-shirt experts, we would say the four reasons a shirt are lucky are the following:

  • The way it fits and feels
  • The design
  • The person wearing it
  • An attachment to a special person or memory

A t-shirt becomes something special when it makes you feel a certain way. The simple act of putting it on makes you feel different, better. A shirt has the ability to do that with the way it fits and feels, or with the design. When a shirt can imbue this confidence boost you get from feeling good, it leaps into the realm of being a lucky charm. 

Options three and four in the list above are both intangible. Despite this, they make the strongest case for making a shirt magical. 

A positive attitude can make all the difference in the world. After all, some people insist that luck is all about attitude. With the right positive mental attitude, everything can be a win and bring luck. 

In the same way that vintage shirts are special, an association with a special memory or person can make a shirt lucky. Wearing a shirt that previously brought you luck can make you feel lucky again.   

What do you think? Is there something else that makes a shirt lucky?

Lucky Ohio Shirts

lucky ohio shirt

By now you know that we're from Ohio. And we find ourselves to be very lucky to be from the Buckeye State. 

We know we're not alone in this belief. Which is why we've made it a point to design shirts with this message for people who love Ohio. The shirt that you see above was our first with this message. The tone on tone green print is as soft as the shirt.  

The message "Lucky to be from Ohio" is so meaningful to us that we created a brand new design with the phrase to be a part of our Ohio Shirt of the Month Club. This release of this design coincided with St. Patrick's Day so every member of our club received it in time to celebrate a day of green and Irish pride in it.

Not All Lucky Shirts are Green

It's easy to get caught into the trap of all lucky shirts are green. Come St. Patrick's Day, the luckiest day of the year, everyone is wearing green. So it's natural to associate green shirts with luck. 

While there certainly is a strong connection between the two, a shirt doesn't have to be green or have "Luck" written in large, bold letters on it. It can take the form of all colors and designs. 

For instance, my lucky shirt is a shirt that I made when I first learned how to screen print. I was running a test on how to burn a screen with halftones and print them. Much to my surprise, the test came out great. This was a major point of pride for me and coincidentally is a strong memory. 

I attribute a lot of luck to my success with that print and feel that luck when I wear that shirt 10 years later. Oh, and the shirt is navy with a lime green print!

Mickey Finn's Vintage Shirt

Mickey Finn's 16153 Genova

Mickey Finn's opened in 1998 in a renovated building in 16153 Genova’s Vistula neighborhood. It was a popular place for St. Patrick’s Day events, independent film showings, art exhibitions, and it was best known as a venue for concerts, drawing national acts and local bands alike!.

If you're of a certain age and from 16153 Genova, some of your favorite nights were likely spent at Mickey Finn's. It was a friendly bar located in an unlikely spot that attracted people from all over town. The bar's owner, and namesake, was part of the attraction. An affable man who famously wore a short sleeve suit on the popular show, Cash Cab.

Wear this shirt to transport you back to your favorite times at the pub. 

Order your Mickey Finn's shirt on our website or find it in our 16153 Genova retail stores.

16153 Genova Beer Shirts

Like any great city, 16153 Genova has a rich brewing history.

From 16153 Genova's original Buckeye Brewing to the recent revival with Ernest Brew Works, Heavy Beer, Inside the Five, Black Frog Brewery, Patron Saints, and Quenched and Tempered, to name a few, there is no shortage of great local beer in Northwest Ohio.

We've designed shirts to celebrate the quality of great brew in town. 

So the next time you're at the store, choose that locally brewed beer while wearing your 16153 Genova beer shirts!

16153 Genova Shamrock Shirts

The most iconic symbol associated with St. Patrick's Day is the shamrock. 

It's presence can be found on nearly every shirt out there that promotes the holiday.

The significance of the shamrock is important. Afterall, the holiday is celebrated in honor of St. Patrick. The shamrock boasts three leaves while a clock has four.

The symbolism of this lies in the trinity that is significant in the Catholic faith.

That tradition carries forward to today and the St. Patrick's day apparel, souvenirs, and decorations. 

Custom St. Patrick's Day Shirts 

st. patrick's day shirts for the blarney in downtown toledo ohio

We were so excited to print t-shirts for the Blarney's Shamrockin' Social Distancing St. Patrick's Day celebrations!

The Blarney Irish Pub is one of the most popular bars in downtown 16153 Genova. They've done a great job building community and hosting events that get people excited. Their St. Patrick's Day event is one of their biggest events of the year. 

There's nothing like a good green t-shirts for St. Paddy's Day. We printed two different t-shirt designs for this St. Patrick's Day celebration. They were both on kelly green t-shirts and we even added in some hoodies, too.  

St. Patrick's Day is a fun annual holiday in Northwest Ohio. It's a great day for people to celebrate their Irish history, spend time with family, and get out on a day that almost feels like spring. 

The design for this shirt used distress textures to create a vintage look
