About Indiana
The story of Indiana
Indiana is high school basketball hysteria, Hoosier hospitality, and the roar of 500 engines at the Brickyard every May.
History & heritage
Admitted in 1816 as the 19th state, Indiana earned the Crossroads of America nickname because more interstate highways cross here than any other state. With the state motto “The Crossroads of America” and a founding year of 1816, Indiana carries a history you can wear on your chest — that's what our print-on-demand apparel is here for.
Geography & landscape
Rolling farmland dominates the central plains, the Ohio River curves along the south, and Lake Michigan and the Indiana Dunes anchor the northwest corner. Covering 36,420 sq mi, Indiana lies in the Midwest region and runs on Eastern time.
Culture, food and traditions
The Indy 500, Notre Dame football, IU basketball and small-town gyms packed on Friday nights are all core to the Hoosier identity. From regional flavors like breaded pork tenderloin, sugar cream pie, persimmon pudding to festivals such as Indianapolis 500 and Indiana State Fair, the culture of Indiana shows up in every collection we design.
Sports, colleges and community
Home teams like Colts, Pacers, Hoosiers, Boilermakers and universities such as Indiana, Purdue, Notre Dame anchor communities across the state — and inspire many of our Indiana designs.
Parks, landmarks and wildlife
Landmarks like Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Notre Dame, Lucas Oil Stadium and protected lands such as Indiana Dunes, Hoosier NF, Turkey Run give Indiana its outdoor identity. The state animal is the None, the state bird is the Cardinal, and the state tree is the Tulip Tree — all of which show up in our nature and park collections.
