About New York

The story of New York

New York is the Manhattan skyline, the roar of Niagara Falls, the wilds of the Adirondacks, and the wine country of the Finger Lakes.

History & heritage

The 11th state to ratify the Constitution in 1788, New York was the first U.S. capital and the immigrant gateway at Ellis Island. With the state motto “Excelsior” and a founding year of 1788, New York carries a history you can wear on your chest — that's what our print-on-demand apparel is here for.

Geography & landscape

The Adirondacks and Catskills dominate the north, the Finger Lakes and Niagara anchor the west, and NYC guards the Hudson's mouth. Covering 54,555 sq mi, New York lies in the Northeast region and runs on Eastern time.

Culture, food and traditions

Broadway, Yankees pinstripes, Buffalo wings, pizza slices, the Statue of Liberty and the Adirondacks all live under one flag. From regional flavors like New York pizza, bagel, cheesecake to festivals such as Macy's Thanksgiving Parade and Times Square NYE, the culture of New York shows up in every collection we design.

Sports, colleges and community

Home teams like Giants, Jets, Bills, Knicks and universities such as Columbia, NYU, Cornell anchor communities across the state — and inspire many of our New York designs.

Parks, landmarks and wildlife

Landmarks like Statue of Liberty, Empire State Building, Central Park, Niagara Falls and protected lands such as Adirondack Park, Catskill Park, Niagara Falls give New York its outdoor identity. The state animal is the American Beaver, the state bird is the Eastern Bluebird, and the state tree is the Sugar Maple — all of which show up in our nature and park collections.
