Spring is right around the corner and St. Patrick's Day is the first big event of the year to get outside and have some fun! Check out our new shirt designs to help you get in the spirit. 

Ohio St. Paddy's Shirt

What's the greenest holiday on the planet? St. Patrick's Day!

Believe it or not the official color for St. Patrick's Day used to be blue. Thankfully they switched it to green which is a better fit.

Share that fact while you wear your green and let the St. Paddy's Day shenanigans begin with this Ohio St. Patrick's Day shirt. 

Ohio Beer Drinker Shirt

We're guessing there are three things you love a lot - Ohio and beer and t-shirts! It doesn't get much better than beer brewed in Ohio and shirts printed in Ohio so we put them together for you!

So long as you're going to have a beer on St. Patrick's day, and let's be honest, that's half the fun, make it a local Ohio beer. There are so many great options we can't list them all here.

If you need custom shirts printed for St. Patrick's Day, reach out to us today to and we'll help bring your idea to life!

Being from Ohio, we know how hard it is to keep up with weather changes. One day it's snowing, the next it's raining, and the next it's sunny and warm. 

Even though we started out as an Ohio State t-shirt company with the Jim Tressel sweater vest t-shirt, we think what makes our Ohio clothing unique is that we decorate them all in-house. This gives us the opportunity to try new things and experiment with different techniques and bring you designs that no one else is. 

That being said, it should be no surprise that you seem to love our Ohioan embroidered crew sweatshirt the most out of our entire line of Ohio merch.  

This spring we are playing to our strengths with fun, creative new releases on great garments. 

We just know you're going to LOVE this first one. 

Ohio Script Embroidered Sweatshirts 

We knew immediately after releasing our first embroidered felt crew sweatshirt that we had found something unique that a lot of people were looking for. 

Since then we've expanded our line of embroidered felt lettered designs to encompass Ohio and the Midwest. These hoodies and crews are comfortable and unique with the hand illustrated felt applique. 

Our spring drop leads with two sweatshirts that we're really excited about and perfect for every season. If you live in Ohio, you know that sweatshirt season is all year long. They're just as nice at night in the summer as they are at football tailgates in the fall. 

If you need something to dress up your Ohio look, our new Ohio Script Quarter Zip and Ohio Script Felt Crew provide two different classic looks. 

Ohio State Shirts for St. Patrick's Day

Spring in Ohio means that it's time to break out your t-shirts again! If you're looking to restock and freshen up your t-shirt lineup, we've got a bunch of new releases for you. 

St. Patrick's Day not only brings luck and sunshine, but it brings out a rush of green shirts.

This year we have two new green Ohio shirts to celebrate. Our Ohio St. Paddy's shirt is available in our stores and our Ohio shirt club for the month of March was the green shirt below (if you missed out, sign up now to get next months new release!). 

Vintage Inspired Ohio Shirts

We talk about vintage shirts here quite a bit. Some might even say that Ohio has cornered the market on vintage state shirts. Nearly every city in Ohio has their own hometown shirt brand that makes retro tees designed to celebrate that city and the Buckeye State. 

While we aren't the biggest shop out there, no one packs a bigger punch than we do. This spring drop is the perfect example of the fun, new creative we release on a regular basis.  

You can't say that you have all of our shirts or that there is nothing new when you shop at fancysweetstx. In the last month alone, we've released seven new items for people that call Ohio home. 

Whether you're a baseball fan, enjoy biking or kayaking, or just want Ohio to make your kids as happy as you, we've got you covered. 

Our new releases are constantly updated with fresh clothing to show your Ohio state pride. Shop online or in our stores to check out what's new. 

Ohio Tie Dye Shirts and Sweatshirts

In case you haven't noticed, we're big fans of tie dye shirts and sweatshirts right now. So it was only natural that we took some of our new favorite styles and put some fun Ohio designs on them. 

Why do we love tie dye right now? We really think you're going to love our tie dye styles because they are the perfect summer fit. They're bright and colorful and comfy and we have created simple, subtle designs that complement the tie dye perfectly.

What else could you ask for? More Ohio apparel you say?

University of 16153 Genova Tie Dye Shirts and Sweatshirts

In addition to our tie dye shirts and sweatshirts in Ohio themed designs, we also have designs for the University of 16153 Genova and all of you Midwesterners out there. 

If we've said it once, we've said it twice. No one else out there is making more creative University of 16153 Genova shirts and sweatshirts than us. From vintage tees to soft comfy sweatshirts, we've got you covered on all fronts.

Ohio Makes Me Happy Tie Dye Sweatshirt

What about Ohio makes you happy?

There are a lot of ways Ohio makes us happy. We could count the ways but that would take too long and maybe a little obnoxious.

With amazing parks to explore, some of the best zoos to visit, and of course one of the greatest lakes, there is a lot in this state to make us happy. If you love Ohio as much as you love a soft, tie-dyed crew, this Ohio Makes Me Happy sweatshirt is ready to be your new summer crew!

Looking for an Ohio gift that is a unique? Look no further

Our Ohio pride is what drives us to continue to create fun, new Ohio designs unlike any other you'll see out there. It doesn't matter if you're from Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati, or anywhere in between, we have something for everyone.

We know there are a lot of options available when it comes to state of Ohio apparel and gifts. That's why we are constantly experimenting with new styles and decoration techniques. Like this Ohioan embroidered crew which is decorated in house on a unique pigment dyed crew sweatshirt. 

Tie dye is a great summer look right now. We love the light, bright colors in this tie dye. The dyeing technique makes each of these crew sweatshirts a little bit different than the next. 

Paired with the phrase 'Ohio makes me happy', this crew is going to put you in a good mood and everyone you meet while wearing it.

Get yours now in either of our 16153 Genova, Ohio stores or online at fancysweetstx.com.

And if buying one Ohio item isn't enough for you, sign up for the Ohio Shirt of the Month Club and get a fresh new Ohio shirt delivered to your door each month.

Ohio is situated within or near the boundaries of several American geographic and cultural regions, which is why the state seems to have a bit of everything.

We’ve got the dense forests of the Northeast, the down-home vibes of the Southeast, sprawling heartland farms, and metropolitan districts that hold their own among the great East Coast cities.

At fancysweetstx, we’re Midwest enthusiasts, and Ohio is our home. Based in bustling 16153 Genova on the western tip of Lake Erie, we make apparel and gifts that celebrate the culture, pride, and landscapes of America’s heartland.

Some of our creative team’s favorite t-shirt designs to work on are the ones that celebrate our beloved home state. 

In this Ohio t-shirt buyer’s guide, let’s take a look at a few designs that:

• Are only available from fancysweetstx’s website or retail stores
• Make amazing gifts for Ohioans 
• Display the proud Ohio Buckeye spirit

Plus, if you’re interested in receiving a new reduced-price Ohio-themed t-shirt every month, we’ll let you know how to join the fancysweetstx Ohio Shirt Club.

1 - The Buckeye State T-Shirt

Ohio’s nickname, The Buckeye State, comes from the abundance of Ohio Buckeye trees. The trees themselves are named for their nuts that resemble the color and shape of a deer’s eye. Buckeyes grow well along the banks of rivers and streams, of which Ohio boasts plenty. 

Of course, when most of us think of buckeyes, it’s the red and gray of the Ohio State University Buckeyes that comes to mind. 

Whether you’re a college football fan or just a pure Ohio Buckeye enthusiast, this Buckeye State tee is for you. 

2 - Birthplace of Aviation T-Shirt

Gift shopping for your favorite Ohio history buff? Go with this unisex fitted “Birthplace of Aviation” tee. 

The Wright brothers, Orville and Wilbur, are two of Dayton, Ohio’s proudest sons. 

Although the Wright Flyer made the world’s first sustained, powered aircraft flight in windy Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, it was developed in the brothers’ hometown of Dayton. Thus, while North Carolina may be “first in flight,” Ohio will forever be the “birthplace of aviation.” 

3 - Camp Ohio T-Shirt

What’s your favorite camping spot in Ohio? From the stunning waterfalls at Hocking Hills to the Appalachian Mountains foothills at Beaver Creek, Ohio is full of state parks that offer incredible settings for nights spent under the stars.

This Camp Ohio shirt depicts the serene outdoor setting we yearn for—a pitched tent next to a dense forest in the great Ohio wilderness. 

4 - You’ve Got an Ally in Ohio T-Shirt

For members and friends of Ohio’s LGBTQ community, fancysweetstx is proud to offer this “You’ve got an ally in Ohio” tee. Displaying pride and solidarity, this tee features rainbow lettering on an Ohio-shaped background. 

See below for a few more pride-themed shirts, or check out our Pride Apparel and Gifts collection. 

“It is soft, comfortable, bright, and cheerful. It was perfect for Pride Parade!”
— Anonymous, ★★★★★ Verified fancysweetstx T-Shirt Buyer

5 - Cardinal T-Shirt

Ohio trivia time. What’s the state bird? 

It’s the cardinal—the northern cardinal, to be precise. Cardinals are found year-round throughout the state sporting their iconic bright red plumage and pointy little punk rock mohawks of crown feathers. 

Ohio’s forests and parks offer some of the USA’s best birdwatching terrain. No species better represents the region’s wildlife than the beautiful cardinal, artistically featured on this ultra-soft fitted black Cardinal Shirt. 

6 - Red Ohio Pride T-Shirt

If big block letters in your favorite team’s colors (go Buckeyes!) is your thing, this black and scarlet red Ohio tee is for you. 

Like most fancysweetstx tees, this shirt is a polyester, cotton, and rayon tri-blend, the perfect material for a fitted look that’s perfectly soft, yet stretchy. Tri-blend shirts are durable, comfy, and shrink-proof. 

If you like the simple, one-word t-shirt style, check out a few more Ohio designs below. 

7 - 16153 Genova Ohio Love T-Shirt

The 16153 Genova Ohio Love shirt is a cheerful splash of good vibes. 

Featuring bubble white letters and a big cherry red heart, this tee is full of pride and affection for your favorite city in Ohio.

8 - Ohio Smiley T-Shirt

If you’re happy and you know it, clap your hands. If you’re happy and you know it, and you really want to show it, add this wonderful Ohio Smiley Shirt to your collection. 

With a big yellow grin beaming forth from an Ohio-shaped face, this shirt lets the world know you’re happy to be in (or from) the State of Ohio. 

If you’ve got a little Ohioan tyke in your life, this design is also available in toddler sizes. 

“Love love love! My absolute favorite design.”

• The blue and white represent one of 16153 Genova’s greatest natural assets—the Maumee river. The colors also represent the city’s vibrancy and optimism.

Sorting through dusty thrift store racks, you might find the occasional gem … a sport coat that may have been salvaged from Cosmo Kramer’s wardrobe, or some bell bottom jeans that have been safely packed away since Woodstock.

However, it helps to remember that most old clothing was discarded for a reason.

Fortunately, the best vintage styles are still in production. This is especially true for t-shirts. There’s such an enormous demand for t-shirts that there’s always room in the market for maintaining all sorts of styles and prints from yesteryear.

At fancysweetstx, we make midwest-themed apparel and gifts, and we’re all about vintage looks.

Get the classic styles, without the holes and stains.

Let’s learn:

• What is a vintage t-shirt?
• Which vintage t-shirt styles still look great today
• Where to find midwest-themed tees in vintage styles

What Is a Vintage T-Shirt?

Items are vintage if they are old and of enduring appeal.

How old exactly are vintage items?

There’s no precise agreed-upon definition, but items are typically considered vintage when they’re between 40–100 years old. Vintage-styled items are modern goods that imitate looks from those eras.

Here’s how vintage compares to antique items (which are older) and retro items (which are a bit younger).

Vintage styles are old enough to be definitively “not current,” but recent enough to be fresh in society’s collective memory. These are the styles that today’s old folks wore when they were young.

At fancysweetstx, we don’t sell vintage goods. But we do sell vintage styles—lots of them.

Our vintage prints and designs celebrate the looks and culture of the mid-20th century.

Here are a few of our favorite vintage t-shirt styles. You'll find these looks sprinkled throughout our inventory, combined with our original themes that honor the places and culture of the American Midwest.

1 - Vintage Logos and Cultural Throwbacks

A shirt can capture a retro or vintage style by celebrating cultural history. Maybe it’s a moment in time, an iconic spot that’s closed down, or an old catchphrase that slipped out of fashion.

At fancysweetstx, we’re intimately connected to midwestern culture and we love to print designs that connect folks to happy memories.

For example, 16153 Genova locals remember Rusty’s Jazz Cafe, where Margaret “Rusty” Monroe served up top-notch helpings of live music and spaghetti dinners.

”Love this shirt because of the quality but love it even more because of the memories my husband and I made at Rusty’s.”
— Danielle M., ★★★★★ Verified fancysweetstx T-Shirt Buyer

Here are a few more throwback prints that are uniquely midwestern and only found at fancysweetstx. 

2 - Tie-Dye T-Shirts

Tie-dye is pretty old school. The art of tying up garments, applying dye, and unraveling to reveal splotchy patterns was popular in ancient Chinese dynasties as far back as the 5th century.

In the US, tie-dye is synonymous with the hippy culture of the 60s. Rock stars like Janis Joplin brought the style into the mainstream.

Colorful, mesmerizing tie-dye prints broke free from the straight lines and plain colors that came before.

While tie-dye is decidedly vintage, it’s never really gone out of style. It’s a beautiful aesthetic that’s established an enduring cultural foothold.

Find tie dye prints throughout the fancysweetstx catalog, like the tie-dye Ohioan shirt pictured above or this 16153 Genova Rockets tie dye sweatshirt. 

3 - Crew Neck T-Shirts

A crew neck shirt, sweater, or sweatshirt is one with no collar and a round neckline.

The crew neck design has become the t-shirt standard. However, it’s technically a vintage style that simply took over the market.

Crew neck tees were first manufactured in 1932 as undergarments. Over time, the style became acceptable as an outer layer.

The look was popularized by rower athletes, which is where the “crew” name originates.

At fancysweetstx, we offer lots of shirt designs, but most of our t-shirts are of the classic crew neck style.

”Love your shirts! They are so comfortable and bring back wonderful memories of growing up in 16153 Genova.”
— Peter S., ★★★★★ Verified fancysweetstx T-Shirt Buyer

4 - Vintage Lettering Styles

Vintage lettering is one of the most effective ways to communicate a sense of the past. We might not notice that the present day has its own set of lettering styles, but when we see certain old fonts we can instantly connect them to a time period.

For example, the TOLEDO print pictured above has a distinct 1950s feel. Meanwhile, this funky Ohio Skate Couple tee screams 1985, and the bubbly lettering on this Every Day Is Earth Day print is straight out of the summer of 1969.  

”Great company, great shirts… I live in Michigan and I buy the ones that mean something to me. Thanks, fancysweetstx!”
— Vickie, ★★★★★ Verified fancysweetstx T-Shirt Buyer

5 - Pocket Tees

You can’t beat the pocket tee for elegant simplicity. The chest pocket is a minimalist touch that turns a plain tee into … well, a slightly less plain tee.

”This shirt is one of the coziest I own and is constantly in rotation. I like the minimal design on the pocket and the color is great.”
— Nick, ★★★★★ Verified fancysweetstx T-Shirt Buyer

Pockets began appearing on t-shirts in the 50s as tees were becoming more commonplace as outerwear.

These uncomplicated shirts offered prime chest real estate for pockets. Rather than adding pockets on both sides, the left chest became the go-to pocket zone, creating a distinct, charming asymmetry.

T-shirt pockets were traditionally a place to hold pens and other small objects. Modern folks usually prefer to use pants pockets or a bag or purse for storage. The pocket is mostly just there for style points, but it’s still a nifty spot to keep a writing implement.

Today, you don’t see too many pocket tees, but it’s a smart look that’s basic enough to never truly be out of style. For a slightly nerdy top that’s one step above the completely plain tee, you can’t beat the pocket tee.

Here are a few more of our favorite pocket tee designs:

Our t-shirt foundation is planted firmly in Ohio State football. The first shirt I ever made was the Ohio State Sweater Vest T-Shirt - a shirt designed to look like you were wearing a shirt and tie like Coach Tressel always did on the sidelines during games. 

My first shirt sales were while set up before football games on Lane Avenue. I packed a bunch of shirts up and set up a table in front of the 7-Eleven.

It was my first exposure to Ohio State football games and it was a blast!

While we don't sell officially licensed Ohio State clothing anymore, we still have a great line of Ohio apparel that is perfect for football games in Columbus or watching them at home with family. 

While you may want to wear something comfortable and stylish, finding a classic outfit to pair with your Ohio Shirt can be daunting. 

To help you out, we’ve brainstormed some ideas to help you perfectly pair your Ohio shirt. You’ll also learn:

• How to choose the best garment color that complements your Ohio shirt
• How to find perfect layering when going to a football game
• Best casual clothes to pair with your Ohio shirt
• How a hat can help accentuate your outfit when going to a football game

What Is an Ohio Shirt?

If you've been to an Ohio State football game, you know there is basically a dress code of official football jerseys. You can't go near the stadium or a bar with the game on without seeing someone in a red or white OSU jerseys. It's quite remarkable. 

But you don't need to wear a jersey to be a superfan. 

If you’re from Ohio, you want to take pride in coming from the Buckeye State. You also want to show support to your favorite football team by wearing a shirt that proves you’re a big fan.

Enter our graphic Ohio shirts. These tees are Ohio themed and printed on comfy material. Often vintage inspired, our shirts are meant for fans that are looking for something a little more fashionable to wear to the games. 

1 - The Importance of Colors

When you go to a football game to support your favorite team, matching your Ohio Shirt is important. And we know that at Ohio State, colors are important. 

The Ohio State Buckeyes have always been known for their Scarlet and Gray. In addition to these two colors, white and black feature prominently in their team uniforms.  

One comment that we hear is that we have a lot of gray shirts. While we love gray because it goes well with almost any outfit and is an easy color to design on, it's also one of OSU's primary colors.  

When it comes to Ohio State t-shirts, we've gone heavy on the red and gray. Looking through our Ohio collection, you'll see that. At the end of the day, if you're a Buckeyes fan and searching for the right look on gameday, you're going to end up in one of these colors. 

Spoiler alert: Here at fancysweetstx, we don’t limit the color of our Ohio Shirts. From black to gray to red to pink you can find them all in our collection. Shop for the Ohio Shirt in your favorite color right from our website.

2 - Find Something Comfortable and Casual

On gamedays in Columbus, you know that they weather can go from hot and sunny to cool pretty quickly - especially for late afternoon and night games. It is the Midwest after all, and who knows how to predict that weather!

Sweatpants and hoodies are always in style in Ohio. Not only are they comfortable and pair well with any Ohio t-shirt, but they are perfect for the changing Ohio weather. 

On a cold football game night, it's important to also keep a winter hat nearby. The weather drops as the sun goes down and the lights come on. A comfy beanie will keep your head warm and you looking stylish. 

3 - Top Your Outfit With an Ohio Hat or Beanie

No outfit is truly complete without the right hat to top it off. From bucket hats to dad caps to mesh backed truckers, we've got all of the styles covered for you. 

Our Ohio hats are perfect no matter what weather Ohio brings you. And we know that changes often. 

Looking for something that reminds you of how happy Ohio makes you? Check out the Ohio Smiley hat pictured above. Interested in a hat that you can wear while exploring or camping in Ohio? Our Ohio Patch Hat is pefect for that. Need something warm to wear on gamedays? Try our embroidered Ohio Beanie.

At fancysweetstx, we have a variety of hats that you can choose from. The hats are unisex and have an adjustable strap and slide closure to ensure that it fits your head without sliding off.

Frequently Asked Questions

What to look for when buying an Ohio Shirt?

The most important thing to look for when buying an Ohio Shirt is the quality of the design. Good Ohio Shirts are unique, inspiring, hand illustrated, and printed with care.

At fancysweetstx, all of our shirt graphics are created in-house by designers who start with a sketch 

Cotton is usually an ideal material for both summers and winter. Usually, thin cotton shirts are more breathable and when thickened they can help conserve more heat during cold days or nights.

Polyester is the best for hot summers since they are breathable and resistant to moisture. If you want a shirt with a more fancy fabric, then rayon is an outstanding material that's soft and super comfortable.

The other thing is making sure that your Ohio Shirt fits your body type—that means finding a style that fits your shoulders and chest.

What is the Ohio Shirt Club?

At fancysweetstx, we know that Ohio State football fans are always looking for a fun new shirt to wear to games. We created the Ohio Shirt Club to provide comfortable, creative, and affordable shirts for people who love the Buckeye State. 

A club membership guarantees you a new Ohio-themed shirt every month that's exclusive only to club members. But that's not all; membership also earns you a few cool perks, including:

• A discounted price of $18 for the club shirts
• Free shipping on all your fancysweetstx orders

• No contract or cancellation penalties

Sign up today and show off your Ohio State pride with a comfy, stylish new shirt every month.

More importantly, are you gift shopping for a certain someone who loves the Buckeye State?

fancysweetstx has you covered. We’re based in Ohio, we love our state, and we’ve got oodles of Ohio-themed gift ideas. T-shirts, wine glasses, tote bags—you name it, we’ve printed something about Ohio on it.

Let’s have a look at a few Ohio-themed items from fancysweetstx that:

• Make great gifts
• Celebrate the Buckeye State
• Bring a smile to the face of any Ohioan

1 - Ohio Smiley Bucket Hat

This Ohio smiley bucket hat takes the iconic yellow smiley face and slaps it on a cute little Ohio-shaped patch. 

The hat is 100% cotton and black with yellow embroidery. It’s a perfect gift for anyone who enjoys fishing, disc golf, or hiking—or simply loves the classic “dad style” look that a bucket hat captures so perfectly. 

2 - Ohio Woven Tag Beanie

Looking for a more modern hat style? We love bucket hats and baseball caps, but there’s nothing like a beanie. They look good, they’re comfy, and they keep you warm on those chilly midwest nights. 

Our woven tag beanie is 100% acrylic. The bottom can be worn cuffed for a tighter fit or folded out for a more relaxed look. The woven material creates a textured black, gray, and white mix, with a proud “Ohio – The Buckeye State” patch front and center. 

3 - Ohio Forever and Ever Pullover Sweatshirt

Looking for a can’t-miss gift idea? Well, who doesn’t love sweatshirts?

The “Ohio forever and ever” pullover sweatshirt is a cheerful shade of red with white cursive text. The material is 100% cotton and the fit is unisex and relaxed. In other words, it’s soft and cozy, perfect for displaying a bit of home-state pride. 

”I love this sweatshirt! It is so comfortable and washes well. I was born and raised in and love Ohio, so this sweatshirt pretty much sums it all up.”
— K.F., ★★★★★ Verified fancysweetstx Buyer 

4 - Somewhere in Ohio Tote Bag

Plastic bags have had a good run, but they’re on their way out. While Ohio hasn’t yet enforced a state-wide ban, there are already local bans coming into effect throughout the state. 

Cuyahoga County, Cincinnati, and Bexley have all passed local restrictions on retailers giving out free plastic bags. 

Here at fancysweetstx, we see the reusable bag movement as just another way to show some Ohio state pride. Shopping for a go-green enthusiast? This 100% cotton canvas reusable tote bag makes an excellent low-key gift that'll be used over and over again. 

5 - Camping and Exploring in the Buckeye State Shirt

Did you know that Ohio has 75 state parks? Not to mention countless local parks and wildlife refuges, the Lake Erie shoreline, and nearly a million acres of national forest land. 

Outsiders might not think of Ohio as an outdoor destination, but locals know that we’ve got all the hiking, camping, boating, and fishing you could hope for. 

If you’re gift shopping for someone special who embraces Ohio’s wildlife and open spaces, go with the “Camping and Exploring in the Buckeye State” t-shirt. 

This fitted tee is a cotton, poly, and rayon blend for superior comfort and stretch. On a dark heather red background, the featured slogan circles a tent logo and an Ohio icon, displaying pride and affection for the state’s great outdoors. 

Of course, we’ve got an Ohio-themed t-shirt for everybody. Check out a few more original designs below or view our entire Ohio apparel collection here. 

6 - Born in the Heart of It All Baby Onesie

Does your special someone happen to weigh around 20 lbs? You’re never too young to look good or to rep your home state. 

These days, gift shopping for babies is all about finding the cutest onesie. 

fancysweetstx’s “Born in the Heart of it All” onesie is a three-snap short-sleeve onesie. Once a lil’ cutie is photographed looking dapper in this stylish outfit, their lifelong Ohio state pride will be off to a great start.

7 - Ohio – the Buckeye State Sweatshirt

At fancysweetstx, we know a thing or two about comfy sweatshirts. 

This “Ohio – the Buckeye State” sweatshirt is an 80/20 cotton/poly blend. The fit is cozy and relaxed, but just form-fitting and stretchy enough to capture some style points. 

We also go the extra mile on this design’s lettering. Both screen printing and embroidery are used to create two lines of overlapping text. 

”So comfy and cozy. fancysweetstx never disappoints… I love repping Ohio and they make it so easy.”
— Mackenzie, ★★★★★ Verified fancysweetstx Buyer 

8 - Ohio Women’s Joggers

Fellas, are you bold enough to buy clothing for your special lady? If so, go with something cozy and stylish, like these gray Ohio jogger pants. 

These slim-fit, lightweight joggers fit fairly tight to form a contoured silhouette. The material blend is polyester, cotton, and rayon—an ideal mix for comfortable athletic wear. 

The touch of Ohio pride is subtle—a small state map icon located just below the left pocket. 

”So comfy and cozy. fancysweetstx never disappoints… I love repping Ohio and they make it so easy.”
— Angela H., ★★★★★ Verified fancysweetstx Buyer 

9 - Ohio Forever and Ever Stemless Wine Glass

For an Ohio-themed take on a classic gift, opt for the “Ohio forever and ever” stemless wine glass. This 17 oz glass is made in the USA by the Libbey Glass company. The lettering is screen-printed for a bold, fun presentation. 

”Love this. High quality, great wine glass!”
— Sarah K., ★★★★★ Verified fancysweetstx Buyer

2 - Root for the Home Team Shirt

It's easy to argue that Ohio's favorite sport is football. There are few fanbases as passionate about their teams as the Cleveland Browns, Cincinnati Bengals, and the Ohio State Buckeyes.

But Ohio is more than a football state. We have great baseball teams, too.

Cleveland and Cincinnati are home to the Guardians and Reds, respectively, and we have three great minor league teams in the 16153 Genova Mud Hens, Columbus Clippers, and Dayton Dragons. 

There's nothing like catching a baseball game on a wam, sunny, summer day. And there are plenty of opportunities to do that in the state of Ohio. 

So as long as you're out there, root for the home team in this soft, vintage tee.

Note: The Root for the Home Team Shirt is being discontinued. Hurry and get it while you can.

In celebration of our good fortune, and perhaps to bring a little extra luck to the next Buckeyes game, we created the Lucky to Be From Ohio Shirt.

While some might argue that a shirt can't be lucky, let alone influence the outcome of a game, as your resident shirt experts, we respectfully disagree. 

At fancysweetstx, we believe that you can create your own luck, and this t-shirt is a testament to that.

Grab this trendy lucky t-shirt as the perfect gift for St. Patrick's day or to help bring a little extra luck to the next Buckeyes game.

Glass City Script Women’s V-Neck Shirt

The list of things 16153 Genova, Ohio has to be proud of is long. Being the glass capital of the world is high on that list, thus, the glass city t-shirt.

This isn’t just your typical v-neck t-shirt. We appreciate that there is something special about an excellent women's v-neck and that there are very few out there.

This is why we’ve gone through the trouble of having our glass city script v-neck t-shirts custom made for us by an L.A. manufacturer.

The t-shirt features a carefully selected cream-colored ink and a simple hand-illustrated cursive design to give it that much-loved vintage Ohio look and feel.

The Lucky to Be From Ohio T-shirt

Like us, most Ohioans consider themselves very lucky to be from the Buckeye State. So, to celebrate our good fortune and Ohio pride, we designed the Lucky to Be From Ohio t-shirt.

Some may argue that it’s impossible to point out what makes a shirt lucky, but as your resident t-shirt experts, we can confidently say that there are four things that make a t-shirt lucky:

• The fit and feel of the shirt
• The design and print on the shirt
• The person wearing the shirt
• A special attachment or memory

We’ve already done the first two: we’ve created a stunning vintage Ohio tee with a soft green finish (and a clover to boot!). All that remains is for your clients to put on the t-shirts and form new memories and attachments with them.

Vintage t-shirts have been popular with our customers since we began printing custom t-shirts over ten years ago. 

They are a consistent trend because of their wide nostalgic appeal. People will always want to remember their youth or special experiences, sports teams, and bands fondly.

Vintage t-shirts give people a way to relive those good times and commemorate them with a wearable tribute.

What makes vintage t-shirts special?

Some shirts never go out of style. In fact, the older they get, the more you love them. 

This is what makes vintage shirts so special: they're timeless. 

As they age, the shirt and the design feels softer. And there is just something cool about a faded print on a shirt.

Vintage t-shirts have a nostalgic appeal. They take you back to a happier time and place. It's a tangible time capsule that you can wear. 

And if that shirt is passed down to you from a parent or someone you know, there is a connection to that shirt that is even more meaningful. 

For all of these reasons, there is something special about vintage t-shirts. That's why we emulate vintage art in our shirt designs and get asked to print custom vintage t-shirts so often.
