About Arizona

The story of Arizona

Arizona is red-rock canyons, saguaro deserts and starry skies — the Southwest at its most cinematic.

History & heritage

The 48th state — admitted in 1912 — Arizona holds thousands of years of Navajo, Hopi and Tohono O'odham heritage. With the state motto “Ditat Deus” and a founding year of 1912, Arizona carries a history you can wear on your chest — that's what our print-on-demand apparel is here for.

Geography & landscape

From the Grand Canyon and Colorado Plateau in the north to the Sonoran Desert in the south, Arizona spans every kind of Western landscape. Covering 113,990 sq mi, Arizona lies in the Southwest region and runs on Mountain time.

Culture, food and traditions

Desert cities like Phoenix and Tucson blend Mexican, Native and cowboy influences; Sedona and Flagstaff draw artists, hikers and stargazers. From regional flavors like Sonoran hot dog, chimichanga, prickly pear to festivals such as Tucson Gem Show and Arizona State Fair, the culture of Arizona shows up in every collection we design.

Sports, colleges and community

Home teams like Cardinals, Suns, Diamondbacks, Sun Devils and universities such as University of Arizona, Arizona State, NAU anchor communities across the state — and inspire many of our Arizona designs.

Parks, landmarks and wildlife

Landmarks like Grand Canyon, Hoover Dam, Antelope Canyon, Route 66 and protected lands such as Grand Canyon, Saguaro, Petrified Forest give Arizona its outdoor identity. The state animal is the Ring-tailed Cat, the state bird is the Cactus Wren, and the state tree is the Palo Verde — all of which show up in our nature and park collections.
