There must be something in the water, because when it comes to gridiron diehards, the southern bank of Lake Erie breeds the toughest.
In fact, a 2006 Bizjournal study found that Cleveland faithful were the most loyal in the entire NFL. So suit up, Dawg Pounders, in this super-soft Sunday go-to and keep FirstEnergy Stadium shaking from the first down through the finals seconds.

Because you’ve surveyed the political landscape, the collection of candidates, and one leader stood out from the bunch.
Announce your endorsement of a presidential hopeful with a proven track record of leadership. A power player who’s accustomed to grueling schedules and who keeps his vision under pressure. A trailblazer who’s never shied away from entering a debate or taking a hit. And of course, a candidate ready to scramble, to improvise and even draw up plans in the dirt to make Washington work again.
Support a candidate who supports you. Count on Kosar!
You chanted, “Who Dey!” throughout the 2015 season, and with good reason, as your Cincinnati Bengals proved for the fifth straight year nothing could keep the Orange and Black from the playoffs. Behind quarterback Andy Dalton, the Bengals stormed to an 8-0 start. And while Dalton suffered a late-season thumb injury, Cincinnati still locked up the AFC North title and tied the franchise record for most regular season wins (12). Suit up in your stripes and show your pride for the Kings of the Queen City.
He may have played bass for George Clinton on tracks like “Mothership Connection” and “Flash Light,” but from your Bengals fan’s perspective, Bootsy Collins’ greatest accomplishment is penning the 2005 funk-rap classic “Fear Da Tiger.” Meant to rouse all Cincy faithfuls, this little ditty’s got ‘tude to spare, with Bengals players themselves providing backup vocals. So dust off those platform boots, grab the keys to the mothership and prepare for a funktastic journey to the Jungle in this game-day staple.
The Cleveland Indians may now be widely known as a baseball team, but in the franchise’s early years, it competed for local attention with another Cleveland Indians, the team that gave birth to Cleveland professional football.
Formed in 1916 and competing in the Ohio League, the gridiron gladiators of the Cleveland Indians enriched Forest City with a new tradition. The team morphed into the Cleveland Tigers in 1919 and joined the American Professional Football Associate (APFA). Two years later the APFA became the National Football League (NFL) and the Tigers returned to their original name the Indians.
Perhaps the greatest and most versatile athlete ever, Jim Thorpe anchored the Cleveland team as player, coach and even APFA league president. Thorpe set the standard for Cleveland football excellence, which was carried forth by original head coach of the Cleveland Browns, Paul Brown, who molded players to fulfill such large shoes. Under Brown, Cleveland would win seven league championships, four in the All-America Football Conference and three in the NFL. Pay homage to Cleveland football’s rich pedigree.
If you’re talking Cleveland Browns highlights chances are you’re returning to the era of Bernie and his brigade of bone-bashing pro bowlers.
While immensely affable off the field, quarterback Bernie Kosar led a merciless charge. The sidearm gunslinger stepped on the gridiron in his 1985 rookie season—taking the reins after Gary Danielson went out to injury—and he took the team to postseason play five straight years. It was a franchise first since the AFL-NFL merger that saw the league swell to 26 teams in 1970. The Browns notched elite league numbers, and not just on the back of Kosar’s multiple seasons of more than 3,000 passing yards. A dynamite defense pressuring opponents into turnovers season after season complemented Kosar’s work on offense. Pay homage to the unforgettable era.
Ohio State’s fifth different Heisman Trophy winner—and first since two-time winner Archie Griffin—running back and College Football Hall of Famer Eddie George consistently found space in what looked like otherwise locked-up lines during his four years as a Buckeye.
6’3” and 230 pounds, Eddie George combined nimble agility and lightning speed to threaten the record books every time he touched the ball, beginning in his freshman season when he carried for five touchdowns in his first four games. By the end of George’s 1995 senior year, he had set (and still holds) the school record for most rushing yards in a single season with 1,927, a feat that led to 24 touchdowns and took Ohio State to an 11-2 record en route the Citrus Bowl. Following his college career, Eddie George went on to become a four-time NFL Pro Bowler as part of the Houston Oilers/Tennessee Oilers/Tennessee Titans. Pay homage to No. 27 with this throwback-inspired instant classic.
Drawing on the momentum of four straight trips to the postseason, the Cincinnati Bengals started the 2015 season poaching prey left and right and compiled a 8-0 record.
The last time they opened a season with six wins—let alone eight—the team headed to the Super Bowl for the second time. Suit up and show your Cincy pride as the Bengals look to make another blockbuster playoff run.
Through the years, you’ve been front and center as the Cleveland Browns’ last-minute antics have played with your heart and those of the entire of Dawg Pound. And while it’s up for debate when the trend of taking it down to the wire began, no lineup mastered unthinkable finishes quite like the Kardiac Kids during the 1980 season. Now it’s time to pass on to your young’un the heart-stopping tradition of rooting for a team that makes heading for the parking lot early a no-no with this super-soft favorite.

While the rest of the world may see the lower 48, you, of course, see only Cleveland. And why shouldn’t you?
After all, it is the center of the universe. Show the world that all 10 billion light years of matter revolve around the singular home of the Browns, and gear up for a trip to the center of the center: FirstEnergy Stadium.
With a citywide professional tradition stretching back to the Cincinnati Celts in 1910 and collegiate to the Cincinnati Bearcats in 1885, your youngster is set to inherit some major pigskin shoes. Get the Queen City’s littlest linebacker outfitted for another fall full of touchdown celebrations with a tee as ready for the gridiron as your young’un.
Blast the Gun ‘N Roses, and gear up to enter the formidable home of your Bengals.
Tired of sharing Riverfront Stadium with the Reds, by the mid-1990s your Bengals requested a new ground to pounce around. Enter Paul Brown Stadium, named after the man responsible for bringing the professional gridiron action to Cincinnati.
Taking a little more than two years to build, the new stadium debuted in 2000, and ever since, 65,000 of the most fearsome fans in the league have been packing in and roaring loud enough to be heard in Kentucky. Suit up and fight the cold as the season heats up in “The Jungle.”

No season stands out more in Cincinnati Bengals’ 45-year history than that of 1988. After a tough-to-watch 4-11 record in 1987, your Black and Orange dramatically flipped the script, posting a 12-4 regular season behind quarterback Boomer Esiason’s best year.
Esiason completed passes for more than 3,500 yards, including 28 touchdowns and rushed for another 248 yards, snagging him the league’s best QB and the NFL Most Valuable Player Award. But he wasn’t alone. In Ickey Woods’ debut season, he shuffled for 1,066 yards and 15 touchdowns, meanwhile Eddie Brown’s hot hands snatched 54 receptions for more than 1,200 yards and 9 touchdowns.
The thrashing regular-season play continued into the postseason, as the Bengals took down the Seahawks in the divisional playoff and the Bills in the AFC Championship to set up just the franchise’s second trip to the Super Bowl. In a repeat of Super Bowl XVI, Cincinnati was looking for revenge over the San Francisco 49ers. And leading the San Francisco 16-3 with just 3:10 left, it looked like they were going to get it. We won’t dive back into the details of those tough final minutes, suffice to say the loss couldn’t erase the magic of the franchise’s best season, including the team’s second AFC Championship.
Show your Bengals stripes as your team hunts down another shot at the Lombardi Trophy. Who Dey!
Born on Paul Brown’s back porch after his acrimonious split from the Browns, the idea for a second professional football franchise in Ohio led the Cleveland coaching legend to meetings with the American Football League and Ohio Governor James Rhodes. The site of the second team: Cincinnati.
As coach and general manager of the new franchise, Paul Brown named the team the Bengals, drawing on the city’s original AFL franchise name while incorporating his Massillon-Tigers roots. For team colors, in an act of defiance of and retribution to the Cleveland Browns fallout, he selected the same shade of orange and only replaced brown with black. And in 1968, the Bengals kicked off a new Cincinnati tradition. Whether you’re at Paul Brown Stadium or deep in the rival territory of Browns, Steelers or even 49ers, rep your colors in this super-soft feminine favorite.

Show your Bengals stripes as your team hunts down another shot at the Lombardi Trophy. Who Dey!
It’s never too early to anoint your little Bengal fan the coveted title: Cincinnati Fan Numero Uno. Just ensure your young’un knows that in fall, the Orange and Black forego the standard greeting of, “How’s it goin’?” and get to business with a quick “Who Dey!”
Tracing its roots to a local 1980 Red Frazier Ford television spot, the “Who Dey!” chant took Cincy by storm during the team’s blockbuster 1981 season. After starting 5-3 and staring down a schedule of teams who dominated the prior season, your Bengals went on a tear, winning seven of their final eight regular-season games en route to a playoff run all the way to Super Bowl XVI. And with local radio station WLW recording the chant and keeping it in constant rotation, “Who Dey!” became the anthem of the Greater Cincinnati Area all season.
Who dey! Who dey! Who dey think gonna beat dem Bengals?! Nobody.
“The Queen of the West” to outsiders, the “Nasty ‘Nati” to those who live among the seven hills. Whether your bundle of joy becomes a Bengal, Red, Bearcat or Musketeer, one thing’s for sure: there’s no better way to start passing down your love for the finest 80 square miles in the US to your littlest than with this onesie. Here’s to a lifetime of strolls along the Riverwalk, trips to Fountain Square and games at Paul Brown Stadium and Great American Ball Park.
Any other day, Cleveland’s Municipal Parking Lot is just that: a place to drop off your car. But this isn’t just any day—it’s game day.
Welcome to the Muni Lot, a tradition handed down generation after generation. The epicenter of Browns pride, here 10,000+ diehards congregate in their Sunday best and enjoy the finest culinary creations and liquid offerings—but NO ALCOHOL—as they withstand whatever the weather gods wish to throw Cleveland’s way. Secure your spot early and dive into the sea of Orange and Brown revelry. Then head to FirstEnergy Stadium for the second half of the day’s action. Go Browns!
Just before the turn of the 19th century, surveyors of the Connecticut Land company laid out the state’s Western Reserve into townships, with a capital city named after its leader, General Moses Cleaveland. Today, with the Browns, the Cavs, and the Indians; the Flats, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and the West Side Market; The Plain Dealer, Key Tower, and NASA's Glenn Research Center—Cleveland is the city.
Layer up for another season tailgating at the Muni Lot and shaking FirstEnergy Stadium with this long-sleeve game-day staple.
Just before the turn of the 19th century, surveyors of the Connecticut Land company laid out the state’s Western Reserve into townships, with a capital city named after its leader, General Moses Cleaveland.

While the rest of the world may see the lower 48, you, of course, see only Cleveland. And why shouldn’t you? After all, it is the center of the universe. Show the world that all 10 billion light years of matter revolve around the place you call home in this super-soft tee.
If you’re going down to FirstEnergy Stadium on Sunday, be ready to drown out the opposition with the canine cries of the Dawg Pound. Famously vocal, your Cleveland Browns’ fan base is full of histrionics, including the late-eighties tradition of throwing milk bones at visiting teams—a practice that put the pound in the doghouse. While the antics of the Pound may be a bit tamer these days, what can’t be caged is their relentless passion for Browns’ football. Snag this tee and let them hear you howl from all the way down in Cincinnati.
We won’t penalize you for excessive celebration over the arrival of this instant classic, every bit worth the song and dance. In the late eighties, running back Elbert “Ickey” Woods of the Cincinnati Bengals pioneered the touchdown dance move that’s gone down in history books as one of the NFL’s most famous end-zone rituals. And with a standout 1988 rookie season of more than 1,000 rushing yards and 15 touchdowns, he had ample opportunity to perfect it. Shuffle right, shuffle left, and spike that ball because you’ve scored yourself a serious touchdown of a tee.
All Steelers fans are well-informed that the city formerly known as Pittsburgh has longtime defense coordinator Dick LeBeau to thank for the newer moniker.
Behind the standout strength of linebackers Kevin Green and Greg Lloyd, LeBeau’s 3-4 zone-blitz relentlessly tore through NFL offenses and dominated the Steelers’ playbook during the mid-90s, leading the team to Super Bowl XXX in 1995. Pay homage to the definitive Black and Gold era with this super-soft Sunday staple.
South of the Mason-Dixon, it’s y’all. But in Steel City, it’s yinz—and don’t yinz forget it. The not-so-little ‘Burgh on the Ohio River has a rich history of Scots-Irish immigration, the source of the second-person plural term.
Evolving from the area’s 1800s “you ones,” yinz nowadays is more popular than ever thanks to a new generation spreading the trademark of Pittsburgh pride beyond the region. So keep it real, Steelers, and honor your eternal stomping grounds with this super-soft staple.
Born out of the acrimonious breakup between Cleveland Browns’ coach Paul Brown and owner, Art Modell, your Bengals took the field in 1968 and began one of Cincinnati’s finest traditions under the guidance of founder and coach Brown.
With eight division and two conference championships, the Orange and Black have popularized several game innovations to great success, including the no-huddle offense and the zone blitz. Pay homage to your team and gear up for the rumble in the Jungle with this super-soft tee. “Who Dey, who dey, who dey think gonna beat them Bengals?”
Oh, the infamous December 10th, 1989 Bengals-Seahawks game. With tensions already high among Cincy fans as their 10-point favored Bengals were only tied with the Seattle Seahawks late in the second half, a rough call from the refs during a game-defining Seahawks drive ignited Riverfront Stadium.
Bengals fans grabbed at whatever they could, including the making of snowballs, and launched debris at Seahawks players before Bengals coach Sam Wyche took charge of the situation and seized the mic from public address announcer Tom Kinder. Appealing to Bengals fans’ better nature–and deep, abiding hatred of Cleveland—Wyche announced, “Will the next person that sees ANYBODY throw anything onto this field, point ‘em out…and get ‘em out of here. You don’t live in Cleveland, you live in Cincinnati!”
Pay homage to some of NFL’s most immortal words and rep your devout Bengals pride with this throwback.

The only two-time Heisman winner, Archie Griffin dominated the gridiron during his 1972-75 tenure as running back at OSU. The Buckeye legend signed his name across the record books with 5,589 yards and 26 touchdowns while at Ohio State and set an NCAA running record with 100 or more yards in 31 consecutive regular-season games.
Griffin became the first to start in the Rose Bowl four times, and in 2014 he was announced the All-Century Player of the bowl game in 2014. And if you think he was just a force on the football field, take it from Buckeyes coach Woody Hayes, who famously said of Griffin, "He's a better young man than he is a football player, and he's the best football player I've ever seen." Pay homage to number 45 with this classic.

It’s never too early to sit your little Bengal down and share the story behind Cincinnati getting its Orange and Black stripes.

Outfit your little one for all the action in the Jungle with this tee, sure to be your young’un’s pride and joy.
At the convergence of the Allegheny, Monongahela and Ohio Rivers lies the land of Black and Gold. Originally Fort Duquesne, a French trading post, it was seized by the British in 1758 during the Seven Years’ War and at once renamed to honor William Pitt, “the greatest British statesman of the 18th century.”
From a trading post to a metropolis built by steel, the City of Champions is home to Penguins, Pirates, Steelers and more than 15 league titles. Whether you’re more North Side or South Hills, West End or East, pay homage to 58 of the finest square miles in the US with this super-soft, feminine favorite.
Since 1968, your Cincinnati Bengals have kept the Queen City faithful roaring season after season.
So whether you’re tailgating with the best of the Black and Orange down at Longworth of Paul Brown Stadium or taking in the Jungle’s fun and games from afar, we’ve got you covered. Who dey think gonna beat dem Bengals? Nobody, that’s who.

The sweet, sweet sounds of Motown’s NFL fandom are thanks to radio exec George Richards, who mounted the charge and brought the Lions (formerly the Spartans) to rock Detroit in 1934.
More than 80 years later, the team makes fall Sundays in Detroit the best day of the week. And when it comes to traditions, no team does Thanksgiving better than the Blue and Silver, taking Ford Field for 76 years and counting. That makes the tradition older than any across 24 NFL franchises. Pay homage.
In the City of Champions, yinz are all about the numbers. Like 29, the number of Steelers’ playoff appearances. Or, 21, as in their division championships. Or, 8, their AFC Championship count.
