About Alabama
The story of Alabama
From Gulf shores to Birmingham steel, Alabama wears its Southern identity with grit and grace.
History & heritage
Admitted in 1819, Alabama stood at the heart of American history — from cotton and industry to the Civil Rights Movement that reshaped the nation from Selma and Montgomery. With the state motto “Audemus jura nostra defendere” and a founding year of 1819, Alabama carries a history you can wear on your chest — that's what our print-on-demand apparel is here for.
Geography & landscape
The state stretches from the Appalachian foothills in the north to the white-sand Gulf Coast, laced by the Alabama, Tennessee and Coosa rivers. Covering 52,420 sq mi, Alabama lies in the South region and runs on Central time.
Culture, food and traditions
Football Saturdays, gospel choirs, Muscle Shoals studios and the barbecue joints of Tuscaloosa all belong to Alabama. From regional flavors like barbecue, fried catfish, Conecuh sausage to festivals such as National Peanut Festival and Hangout Music Festival, the culture of Alabama shows up in every collection we design.
Sports, colleges and community
Home teams like Crimson Tide, Auburn Tigers, Birmingham Legion and universities such as University of Alabama, Auburn University, UAB anchor communities across the state — and inspire many of our Alabama designs.
Parks, landmarks and wildlife
Landmarks like USS Alabama, Edmund Pettus Bridge, U.S. Space & Rocket Center, Vulcan Statue and protected lands such as Little River Canyon, Russell Cave, Horseshoe Bend give Alabama its outdoor identity. The state animal is the Black Bear, the state bird is the Yellowhammer, and the state tree is the Southern Longleaf Pine — all of which show up in our nature and park collections.
