Michigan regional alumni apparel
I think that the Michigan alumni club of Denver typically does a pretty good job with their t-shirt designs, and I'm curious if there are other city/regional clubs with cool offerings as well. Are there any other examples that people like? I embedded the design from 2021 - hopefully it worked

Seattle has done a nice job for quite a while. They integrate the Space Needle into the word “HAIL” as the “I” and it works.

I'm not an alumni but I've wanted one of those shirts for a while - very cool design.

Unfortunately I’m away for the weekend but Nashvilles club uses the Batman building as the H in Hail.
January 21st, 2022 at 12:12 AM ^
The Batman building is really cool! I've been lucky enough to go to the top of the building & there is quite a beautiful view up there

AT&T has offices in the higher floors. I had the opportunity to attend meetings there and the view is great. But, hanging out on Broadway at night is much more fun!
January 21st, 2022 at 1:17 PM ^
Yes, Broadway is tremendous fun. The energy is out of this world (figuratively for the literary police.)

This reminds me to connect with the Nashville club, the cool design sounds like a bonus!

Sadly the club has felt fairly inactive due to COVID and Christian leaving. I don't remember the batman building design, though. The latest designs have had the tri-star logo like this:
I have the last shirt somewhere too. It was a guitar logo.
edit: found this on the FB page. I don't really remember this one even though it was 2018:

Looks great! Also, if you turn your device to the left, it kinda looks like Big Foot's exasperated face.

We have some neat ones here at the Central Florida club with palm trees for the 'I' in HAIL
January 21st, 2022 at 2:03 PM ^
These are cool! I'm in Tampa and I'm not aware of anything our local club has. Are these for sale and if so, can you please provide a link? TIA!!

UofM club of Philly has HAIL w the Rocky statue as the I. That's a good one I rotate on football Saturdays
January 21st, 2022 at 9:28 AM ^
Wow. I didn’t know this was a thing. I’d love to get an Austin or TX specific shirt.
January 21st, 2022 at 9:33 AM ^
These t-shirts were sold by the Texas clubs.
January 21st, 2022 at 12:07 PM ^
This design inspired me to push the Seattle club to do something similar with the state of Washington - while perhaps not as iconic as the Space Needle HAIL shirts, I think it also turned out pretty well.

Similar to lots of other towns I guess, here in Chicago we replace the "I" in "Hail" with the Sears Tower
January 21st, 2022 at 10:28 AM ^
What you talkin' about, Willis?
January 21st, 2022 at 12:33 PM ^
I have the Chicago skyline t-shirts in gray and maize. Sorry for low-res pics, pulled from the clubs FB page. Gifts from my wife several years ago.
Sidenote: It will always be the Sears Tower to me, although I am not averse to referring to it as the Big Willie
January 21st, 2022 at 10:03 AM ^
The NYC Club uses Lady Liberty for the I and has a Michigan take on an NYC classic.
January 21st, 2022 at 10:18 AM ^
What's the pricing like for the shirts in your location? I'm actively designing a new shirt for California and need to figure out how nice of a base shirt to use.

They use underground printing. Here's the line item from my order a couple years ago. Ended up being 25 shipped (i bought a long sleeve last year and that was 30 shipped). They're pretty good quality

edit - wrong thread. Now I know why people do this!
January 21st, 2022 at 11:34 AM ^
I’m in SE Michigan and didn’t realize other areas did cool stuff like this. I feel dumb that I didn’t know, but it all looks really good.
I would say “Cool thread,” but since it’s about clothes and I’m a dad I’ll say “cool threads.”

The UM Club in DC puts the first two lines of "The Victors" over an outline of the city, and also the "skyline" of major Mall monuments over HAIL (can't get that one to download properly for some reason). Not very elegant or cool, honestly, but bless 'em, they're trying.
January 21st, 2022 at 4:52 PM ^
I actually think that HAIL design is pretty cool. Thanks for sharing
January 21st, 2022 at 12:32 PM ^
Not my style but the NYC ones are pretty good!
January 21st, 2022 at 1:27 PM ^
Not affiliated with the Central Ohio UM alum club so can't say for sure but here's hoping they have some cool apparel that incorporates Central Ohio's notable landmarks and geographical features.
January 21st, 2022 at 4:30 PM ^
I'd buy one that depicted the 1969 Cuyahoga river fire
January 21st, 2022 at 1:48 PM ^
For some reason the Texas clubs went with these "Hair" shirts.
January 21st, 2022 at 6:19 PM ^
Good to see someone else thinks the boot "L" looks like a "R". That's why I didn't buy one.
January 21st, 2022 at 2:13 PM ^
I'm in Wichita and our logo, like the alumni club, don't exist in these parts.
Yes, I want everyone's pity.

WD will probably be wearing this to his wedding
