About Ohio

The story of Ohio

Ohio is Buckeye football, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, Cincinnati chili on spaghetti, and the birthplace of both aviation and eight U.S. presidents.

History & heritage

Admitted as the 17th state in 1803, Ohio has produced eight U.S. presidents, the Wright Brothers' aviation lab, and Neil Armstrong of Wapakoneta. With the state motto With God, all things are possible and a founding year of 1803, Ohio carries a history you can wear on your chest — that's what our print-on-demand apparel is here for.

Geography & landscape

Lake Erie forms the northern border, the Ohio River snakes along the south, and rolling plains and Amish country cover the middle. Covering 44,825 sq mi, Ohio lies in the Midwest region and runs on Eastern time.

Culture, food and traditions

OSU-Michigan football, the Rock Hall in Cleveland, Skyline Chili in Cincinnati, and Cedar Point give Ohio a mix of grit and pop. From regional flavors like Cincinnati chili, buckeyes candy, goetta to festivals such as Ohio State Fair and All American Soap Box Derby, the culture of Ohio shows up in every collection we design.

Sports, colleges and community

Home teams like Browns, Bengals, Cavaliers, Guardians and universities such as Ohio State, Cincinnati, Miami University anchor communities across the state — and inspire many of our Ohio designs.

Parks, landmarks and wildlife

Landmarks like Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Pro Football Hall of Fame, Cedar Point and protected lands such as Cuyahoga Valley, Perry's Victory, Hopewell Culture give Ohio its outdoor identity. The state animal is the White-tailed Deer, the state bird is the Cardinal, and the state tree is the Ohio Buckeye — all of which show up in our nature and park collections.
