About Oregon

The story of Oregon

Oregon is Crater Lake blue, Cascade volcanoes, the Oregon Coast in fog, and Portland weirdness on tap.

History & heritage

The 33rd state, admitted in 1859, Oregon was the endpoint of the Oregon Trail — 2,000 miles that reshaped the American West. With the state motto “Alis volat propriis” and a founding year of 1859, Oregon carries a history you can wear on your chest — that's what our print-on-demand apparel is here for.

Geography & landscape

The Pacific coast runs 363 miles along the west, the Cascade Range splits the state, and the Columbia River Gorge cuts a mile-deep canyon. Covering 98,379 sq mi, Oregon lies in the Pacific Northwest region and runs on Pacific time.

Culture, food and traditions

Timbers Army chants, Ducks football, craft beer, coffee culture, Powell's Books and Cascade skiing all belong to Oregon. From regional flavors like marionberry pie, dungeness crab, salmon to festivals such as Oregon Shakespeare Festival and Waterfront Blues Festival, the culture of Oregon shows up in every collection we design.

Sports, colleges and community

Home teams like Trail Blazers, Timbers, Thorns, Ducks and universities such as Oregon, Oregon State, Reed anchor communities across the state — and inspire many of our Oregon designs.

Parks, landmarks and wildlife

Landmarks like Crater Lake, Multnomah Falls, Mount Hood, Oregon Coast and protected lands such as Crater Lake, Oregon Caves, John Day Fossil Beds give Oregon its outdoor identity. The state animal is the American Beaver, the state bird is the Western Meadowlark, and the state tree is the Douglas Fir — all of which show up in our nature and park collections.
