About Alaska

The story of Alaska

Alaska is America turned up to full wilderness — glaciers, grizzlies and northern lights that dance all winter.

History & heritage

Purchased from Russia in 1867 and admitted as the 49th state in 1959, Alaska is America's largest state by area. With the state motto “North to the Future” and a founding year of 1959, Alaska carries a history you can wear on your chest — that's what our print-on-demand apparel is here for.

Geography & landscape

Home to Denali — North America's tallest peak — plus 100,000 glaciers and thousands of miles of Pacific and Arctic coastline. Covering 665,384 sq mi, Alaska lies in the West region and runs on Alaska time.

Culture, food and traditions

Iditarod mushers, Alaska Native traditions, oil towns and fishing villages define a culture built on independence and the outdoors. From regional flavors like king salmon, reindeer sausage, halibut to festivals such as Iditarod and Fur Rendezvous, the culture of Alaska shows up in every collection we design.

Sports, colleges and community

Home teams like Alaska Aces and universities such as University of Alaska Anchorage, UAF anchor communities across the state — and inspire many of our Alaska designs.

Parks, landmarks and wildlife

Landmarks like Denali, Mendenhall Glacier, Iditarod Trail, Trans-Alaska Pipeline and protected lands such as Denali, Katmai, Kenai Fjords give Alaska its outdoor identity. The state animal is the Moose, the state bird is the Willow Ptarmigan, and the state tree is the Sitka Spruce — all of which show up in our nature and park collections.
