Vintage Chicago Socks
Description: Chicago is the best city in America. This gem of the Midwest features such great sights as The Bean, The Loop, Millenium Park and more. Even if you hate deep dish pizza, you gotta love Chicago! The Chicago flag is distressed to give the shirt a vintage look. Makes a great gift for any Chicagoan!
Description: The Chicago Whales only existed for three years, as part of the Federal League, a renegade baseball outfit that challenged the American and National leagues from 1913 to 1915, before abruptly going broke. The team is barely a footnote in baseball history, but it played an important role in Chicago history, because it brought the game to the North Side, which is why tens of thousands of Big Ten graduates live there today. The Whales were the first team to play baseball at the corner of Clark and Addison, and the first to win a championship there, in 1915 — 101 years before the Cubs did it. Yet I could find nothing commemorating them at Wrigley Field.
Description: A surreal and playful illustration featuring the Chicago band logo transformed into a hanging sign, as if suspended in mid-air. The logo is surrounded by a group of animated workers—possibly painters or window washers—clinging to ropes and scaffolding as they appear to be painting or installing the massive emblem.
