About Florida

The story of Florida

Florida is 1,350 miles of coastline, Everglades sawgrass, theme-park fantasy and rocket launches from Cape Canaveral.

History & heritage

The Spanish founded St. Augustine in 1565 — the oldest continuously occupied European settlement in the U.S. — and Florida became the 27th state in 1845. With the state motto In God We Trust and a founding year of 1845, Florida carries a history you can wear on your chest — that's what our print-on-demand apparel is here for.

Geography & landscape

A flat limestone peninsula between the Atlantic and the Gulf, Florida includes the Everglades, the Keys, and more coastline than any state except Alaska. Covering 65,758 sq mi, Florida lies in the South region and runs on Eastern time.

Culture, food and traditions

From Cuban cafés in Miami to country roots in the Panhandle, retirees in Naples and surfers on the Space Coast, Florida is many states in one. From regional flavors like key lime pie, Cuban sandwich, stone crab to festivals such as Ultra Music Festival and Gasparilla, the culture of Florida shows up in every collection we design.

Sports, colleges and community

Home teams like Dolphins, Buccaneers, Jaguars, Heat and universities such as Florida, Florida State, Miami anchor communities across the state — and inspire many of our Florida designs.

Parks, landmarks and wildlife

Landmarks like Kennedy Space Center, Walt Disney World, Everglades, South Beach and protected lands such as Everglades, Biscayne, Dry Tortugas give Florida its outdoor identity. The state animal is the Florida Panther, the state bird is the Mockingbird, and the state tree is the Sabal Palm — all of which show up in our nature and park collections.
