About Oklahoma

The story of Oklahoma

Oklahoma is Route 66 blacktop, Thunder basketball nights, oil derricks and wheat fields — where the wind comes sweepin' down the plain.

History & heritage

The 46th state, admitted in 1907, Oklahoma was Indian Territory for dozens of relocated tribes and became the site of the 1889 Land Run. With the state motto Labor omnia vincit and a founding year of 1907, Oklahoma carries a history you can wear on your chest — that's what our print-on-demand apparel is here for.

Geography & landscape

The Great Plains cover most of the state, the Ozarks rise in the northeast, and the panhandle stretches west toward Black Mesa. Covering 69,899 sq mi, Oklahoma lies in the South Central region and runs on Central time.

Culture, food and traditions

OU-OSU Bedlam football, cowboy heritage, 39 tribal nations, and Route 66 through Tulsa and OKC define Oklahoma. From regional flavors like chicken fried steak, onion burger, Indian taco to festivals such as OKC Festival of the Arts and Tulsa State Fair, the culture of Oklahoma shows up in every collection we design.

Sports, colleges and community

Home teams like Thunder, Sooners, Cowboys and universities such as Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Tulsa anchor communities across the state — and inspire many of our Oklahoma designs.

Parks, landmarks and wildlife

Landmarks like National Cowboy Museum, OKC National Memorial, Route 66, Woody Guthrie Center and protected lands such as Chickasaw NRA, Wichita Mountains NWR, Black Mesa give Oklahoma its outdoor identity. The state animal is the American Buffalo, the state bird is the Scissor-tailed Flycatcher, and the state tree is the Redbud — all of which show up in our nature and park collections.
