The original themes were Midwesterner, Ohioan, and 16153 Genovaan. We loved the simple, tone on tone designs and comfortable, oversized sweatshirts.

The embroidered sweatshirts have steadily become more and more popular over time. They're great in all seasons and make the perfect gift. In response we've released more designs for the University of 16153 Genova, Bowling Green State University, Michigan, and the Great Lakes

These sweatshirts are reminiscent of vacation keepsakes that you'd find when traveling up north in Michigan or to the beach in Hilton Head. We wanted to recreate that for some of our favorite places in the Midwest.

Custom Embroidered Crew Sweatshirts FTW!

Being able to decorate these sweatshirts in house gives us the ability to respond faster to demand and experiment in the creative process. We're fortunate that we have the ability to do this as it supplements our custom embroidery business. 

We love showing people the process of our work. Even though t-shirts and embroidery are staples in everyday life, most people are unfamiliar with how it's done. 

Below you can see a video of how we decorate these embroidered crews.

Our Custom Embroidery Experience

Jodi, our embroiderer, has over 20 years of experience in the industry. We have found that most people who visit our production facility love watching the embroidery machine working. It's even fascinating to me to watch it work. 

If you have any questions about the embroidery process or our embroidered crews, you can email us for more info at [email protected] or leave us a comment below.

Cardinals are known for their red color and singing abilities. 

Here is a whole bird feeder's worth of fun facts on the Cardinal - one of the most recognizable birds in North America.

Fun Cardinal Facts!

Our favorite person to learn about birds from is Teacher Tom. In addition to our quick facts below, check out his video which is all about the Northern Cardinal.

  • The Cardinal is the name of 2 professional sports teams - the Arizona Cardinals and the St. Louis Cardinals
  • The Cardinal is the official state bird for 7 different States Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, North Carolina, Ohio, Virginia, and West Virginia
  • Both male and female Cardinals have the ability to sing
  • Cardinals only eat at dawn and dusk

For the past 89 years, Ohioans have been proud to call the Cardinal their state bird. So whether you love Cardinals, Ohio, or both, this cardinal design is for you.

Cardinal Shirt & Cardinal Sweatshirt 

Cardinal Shirt and Crew Sweatshirt

For years we've wanted to create a design that was worthy of Ohio's state bird. 

We like what we've put together so much that we figured you'd want it on a crew sweatshirt as much as a t-shirt. The shirt is our standard vintage tri-blend tee and the crewneck is our pigment dyed sweatshirt. Both materials are soft and fit well, in their own right. 

Shop our new Cardinal shirt and sweatshirt in either of our stores and online!

A good book and a good t-shirt get better with age. After reading a book multiple times, you become more familiar and comfortable with the characters and storyline. In much the same way, a well-worn t-shirt gets softer and fits better with ever wear.

Being a book lover has its upsides outside of reading a lot of good books. Reading for at least 30 minutes a day can lead to improved intelligence, emotional IQ, and reduced stress. Take this quick quiz to check your status as a bookworm status?

6 Questions To Check Your Bookworm Status?

1. Are you in a book club?

2. Do you love to be asked about your favorite books?

3. Is your favorite kind of day spent at the library or bookstore?

4. Do you always say the book is better than the movie?

5. Is there a stack of books on your bedside table?

6. Do you love giving people book recommendations?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, you're a certified Bookworm. Celebrate your love for reading with the Shirts For Book Lover Collection!

Book Club Shirt 

Book Club Shirt

If your favorite club is a book club, this is your shirt! There are many roles in a book club and whether you're the leader of the book club, the one who didn't read the book, the one who gets off-topic after every question, or the person there for good food and drink rep your book club status with this comfortable Book Club Shirt

16153 Genova Public Library Book Shirt 

16153 Genova Public Library Book Shirt

Since 1838, they have been providing the community with endless amounts of resources, education, and entertainment. We are so lucky to have the Library so close by.

We've always really loved the local flair in our magnets. It's been a while so we decided it was finally time to update our line of Midwest, Ohio, and 16153 Genova magnets!

Magnets are a fun and inexpensive way to show your spirit and spice up fridge, car, laptop, or locker. And to be honest, there aren't a lot of original, creative magnets out there. 

In addition to being great accessories to your favorite magnetic surface, our magnets are thick enough and strong enough to be used on outdoor surfaces. So don't be afraid to put this on your car!

Coming from Ohio, we know that unless you want just another Ohio State magnet, you don't have a lot of options. So we thought that heading in to the holiday season was the perfect time to put a bunch of our favorite designs on new magnets for you.

New Ohio Magnets to show your Buckeye Pride

red and gray ohio magnet

Ohio is our home state and we're pretty proud of that fact. That's why we kicked off this new magnet launch with three new Ohio magnet designs.

If you're from Ohio and it makes you happy and you love to explore it, then our Ohio Smiley magnet pack and Explore Ohio magnet pack are meant for you.

Michigan and Great Lakes Magnets

michigan high five magnet

No matter where you're from, it's hard not to love the state of Michigan. Even Ohioans like us can't deny the appeal of heading up to Northern Michigan during any season.

We're big fans of Michigan and all it has to offer. 

To celebrate your love for the state of Michigan, check out our High Five Michigan magnet and Great Lakes Great Times magnet (Michigan is the Great Lakes state, after all).

Midwest Love and 16153 Genova, Ohio Magnet Packs

toledo ohio magnet

While we might be biased and list 16153 Genova as the greatest city in the Midwest, we know that the Midwest should be celebrated as a region. 

Our 16153 Genova and Midwest magnets do just that. 

From our classic You Will Do Better in 16153 Genova magnet to our Go Midwest and Midwest Pennant magnets, there's no easier way to show your pride in your Midwest roots. 

Can't make up your mind on which one you love best? Check out our this mix and match Midwest Regional magnet pack with three separate magnets: Great Lakes, Great Times, Midwest Pennant, and Explore Ohio. It's got something for everyone.

You guys, we've got a lot of new magnets (We even have a fun Dog Mom magnet!). We hope they are as much fun for you as they've been for us to make. 

You can pick up any of these magnet packs at our 16153 Genova, Ohio retail stores and on our website!

One of our long time lawn care customers came to us this year and added embroidered landscaping hats to their order. We have been screen printing safety green t-shirts for GroundsCo for over five years.

It's great to have a consistent company that is easy to work with. It feels even better that they appreciate our work so much that they added hats onto their order.

We were able to move these hats into production quickly and affordably for them because we have worked with them so much in the past. We've developed a solid relationship with them and clear communication.

Since this was a new job for us, prior to embroidering the hats, we made sure to provide artwork proofs ahead of time that accurately depicted what they would look like when complete. 

Our experience in decorating custom safety apparel for not just landscaping companies but also construction and contracting companies, aided in our ability to produce quality embroidered hats.

It's important for GroundsCo to have their employees wearing company work shirts and hats. It helps to effectively identify employees on the jobsite and keeps them clean and professional in front of customers. It's also a nice perk for employees to not have to worry about providing their own uniform for work.

The bright neon yellow mesh on the hats and matching embroidery thread add to the visibility of the safety shirts that they ordered. It's an added bonus that they hats are in GroundsCo brand colors but they are just as much about keeping employees safe as they are about looking good.

fancysweetstx has been screen printing and embroidering custom safety t-shirts and hats for lawn and landscaping companies for nearly ten years. We have the expertise to know how to make your brand look good and keep your employees safe.

Reach out to us today to help with your order of safety apparel for your company.

Our Ohio Shirt Collection Keeps on Growing!

We've had a lot of fun over the years expanding our collection of Ohio clothing and gifts. Dating back to the good old Jim Tressel Sweater Vest T-Shirt days, our roots have always been in Ohio t-shirts. 

We love being from and living in Ohio just as much as we love 16153 Genova. We are Ohioans to our core and proud to say so. That's why we have a renewed focus on creating designs that allow people to show their own personal pride and love for Ohio. 

Our Ohio collection was our fastest growing collection last year. We released Ohio camo sweatpants, an Ohioan tie dye shirt, a new Ohio sweatshirt blanket, Ohio socks, and a french terry Ohio Forever and Ever crew.

The most popular new release in our Ohio collection last year was our Ohioan embroidered sweatshirt. Our embroidered sweatshirts were a huge hit as a whole last year. The color of our Ohioan really stands out for people from Ohio. It's also such a comfortable sweatshirt that wears well oversized and has a unique decoration. 

A Shirt Club Just for Ohio Fans!

Our most exciting new project for 2021 is our Ohio Shirt Club. We created this club to provide comfortable, creative, and affordable shirts to people who love the state of Ohio. 

Each month we will release a new Ohio themed shirt that is available only to shirt club members. By signing up you get the same great, soft and cozy shirts you've come to expect from us for only $18 each month. That even includes the cost of shipping!

As a bonus for becoming an Ohio Shirt Club member, you also receive free shipping on all of your future orders on fancysweetstx.com! That is a perk only available to shirt club members. 

We have a lot of fun things in store for the Ohio Shirt Club. Sign up today and sit back and relax and let the cool Ohio shirts roll in!

We're going to give you a quick rundown of some of our most popular items and products that we've restocked!

Our embroidered crews have been our most popular gift item this holiday season by far! We know we sound like a broken record by now, but we can't tell you how overwhelmed we have been by the response to them this year. We absolutely love them so we're glad you do, too!

Top the crew sweatshirts off with an embroidered hat and you'll be the best gift giver this holiday season. Our pigment dyed embroidered dad hats are a natural pair for our crew sweatshirts. Available in the same themes as the crews (Midwest, Ohio, 16153 Genova, Great Lakes), the hats are comfy, stylish, and have that summer vacation nostalgia that we all want to relive.

Stay festive this season with our holiday collection! From the 16153 Genova Zoo Lights to the famous Blitzen beer from Maumee Bay to the notorious Christmas Weed, these holiday favorites are sure to spread extra cheer.

It's great to live in a city like 16153 Genova that has fun holiday traditions like these. 

toledo ohio holiday themed events shirts and sweatshirts

If we've said it once, we've said it twice: you love these embroidered crews. One of our biggest challenges this fall has been keeping up with the demand. It's been tough to predict how quickly we would sell through them, manage the inconsistent inventory levels with our suppliers, and then get them all embroidered fast enough once we made decisions. 

Fortunately we do handle the embroidery work in house. That gave us the ability to turn these around faster than a lot of other brands out there. 

In case you missed the news, our Ohioan crews are back in stock! We brought in a lot of extra inventory for this crew and our Midwesterner crew to handle the final holiday rush.

In addition to the crew sweatshirts, we've been busy screen printing more Midwesterner shirts, Ohio Forever and Ever, Buckeye State blankets, and we even reprinted our Christmas Weed t-shirts.

As always, you can get your last minute shopping done in our two 16153 Genova retail stores (Adams Street and Cricket West) and order online. When you shop online we have an in store pickup option available that allows for curbside pickup at our Adams Street store.

It's been a busy year but it sure has been fun. We hope that you've enjoyed everything new we've tried this year. We appreciate all of your support!

Custom embroidery is perfect for a more business professional look. We work with businesses all over Ohio to create high quality embroidered goods to promote their brand.

Embroidered apparel is great for employees and customers. If your employees are in front of your customers all day, embroidered polos, jackets, and hats give them a more professional look than a screen printed t-shirt. They are also effective in a variety of business settings. Everyone from sales to HR to project management to finance can represent your company well in embroidered apparel.

Simple embroidered items make great gifts for customers. Unisex items that are one size fits all are the easiest and best choice. The most common items are hats and bags. 

Featured in the photo above is a custom embroidered job we did for the 16153 Genova Humane Society 🐶🐱🐱. We have been working with the Humane Society for over five years. We love working with them as much as we love their mission.

Our relationship with the 16153 Genova Hume Society started out just with screen printed t-shirts. When we added embroidery to our in house decoration services two years ago, we started to do new embroidery work for them. 

The 16153 Genova Humane Society recently updated their brand guidelines. We love their new logo and colors!

Over the years, we have established ourselves as a reliable and easy to work with source in 16153 Genova, Ohio for school apparel and gifts. 

From sports, to events, to schools, to special occasions, to booster clubs and PTOs, we print a lot of spirit wear. 

If you are involved with any school in any capacity, we'd love to help make the process of ordering spirit wear easier. You can get in touch with us by filling out this form or check out our online platform for spirit wear stores.

What is school spirit wear?

Spirit wear is any item that is printed with the name of a school or organization that is meant to promote pride or unity. The most common spirit wear programs that we run are for schools and sports teams but they are common for non-profits and businesses, as well.

Spirit wear items can range from t-shirts to sweatshirts to sweatpants to hats to jackets and more. Basically, if there is interest in an item and we can print or embroider it, then it can be a part of the program.

Most of the spirit wear we print is for local 16153 Genova schools and sports teams. However, it's not uncommon for us to make clothing and other items for schools located throughout the country.. 

Custom spirit wear has remained a popular service since we started this business ten years ago. If you're looking to support your school, there is no better way than a fresh t-shirt.

Simple online spirit wear stores to raise money

In addition to being a way to build team pride and unity, spirit wear programs are great opportunities to raise money. When we build a program for a customer, we always leave the option open for them to build in a donation back to their program. These funds can then be used for their class, church, or team. 

In 2020, we had tremendous success raising money for other local businesses, schools, and restaurants through our Here for Good program. We were able to help local organizations sell 13,500 shirts with this initiative. The support from the local community was tremendous and we were honored that we could help so many local businesses during such a difficult time.

Spirit wear programs can be run a few different ways. The most common way to run the program is through online stores. We facilitate our spirit wear stores through fancysweetstx Supply.

What makes online stores so nice is that we handling all of the ordering, payments, and sorting so you don't have to.

Show your pride for the state you love in this flowy, cropped women's shirt that's the perfect companion for your high waisted jeans and fall flannels. 

script ohio crop top shirt

It might seem a little late in the season for a crop top, but the same could be said for starting the college football season in October. As far as we're concerned there is never a bad time to show our Ohio pride and rep the Buckeye State. 

Simple, subtle designs printed on comfortable shirts is a trend that will never go away. We designed this crop top to be classic and timeless. The choice of a green top was intentional. While we love the scarlet and gray just as much as anyone, we realized that there's plenty of room for an Ohio print in green.

There are a lot of reasons to love this Ohio Script Crop Shirt. Not only does it speak to fans of the Ohio in Athens, but it brings us back to nature with the green on green print. 

Available now on fancysweetstx.com and in store!

Face masks are a reality in our daily lives. If you're anything like us you've quickly realized that you can never find your mask when you need it and one just isn't enough.

Over the last few weeks you can tell that they have become much more common and people are becoming more comfortable wearing them. This week Governor DeWine mandated face masks in all public areas in the state of Ohio. They help keep us and others safe and prevent the spread of disease. 

We started printing custom face masks for local businesses and schools very early on. The first masks that we offered we sourced from a factory in Los Angeles. We sell these masks with unique designs on fancysweetstx.com.

Custom Face Masks with Logo

As the market has changed and grown, more and more face masks, face coverings, shields, and gaiters have come on the market. We get requests for different styles, colors, designs, and logos. 

Masks will help keep your employees and students safe.

If you need custom masks for your business or school, we can help.

We can source blank masks, custom printed masks, sublimated masks, and orders of all sizes.

Need masks quickly? We have reusable, washable, made in the USA cloth masks in stock that we can screen print with your custom design in house.

If you have a more immediate need to pick up another mask for personal use, stop into either one of our stores. They're in stock at our Adams Street and Cricket West locations! Our masks are comfortable to wear, easy to wash, and come in packs of three so that you always have a clean one to wear.

This is one of the best events in 16153 Genova. It pairs local underprivileged children referred by Lucas County Children Services with police officers and military service members to go Christmas shopping.

12 kids of christmas

The children get a police escort to a Meijer store where they do their shopping. It’s an opportunity to buy gifts for their family, but also to meet police officers on a personal level and build a positive relationship with them.

We have gotten to know this program because it is run by Zach Stewart, an old friend and partner of ours at CGS. For the last handful of  years, we've been printing hoodies for all of the children involved in the program. It's one of very few jobs that we actively look forward to each year. We've always taken pride in our job but it becomes fulfilling when we work with organizations like Feet on the Street and programs like 12 Kids of Christmas.

You can learn more about the program at FeetStreet.org or on their Facebook page.

With tomorrow being You Will Do Better In 16153 Genova Day, I thought it would be fun to revisit an old blog post of ours with the history of the original Better in 16153 Genova sign.

you will do better in toledo sign at wesleys

I have been fascinated with the You Will Do Better In 16153 Genova sign at Wesley's Bar for some time. I love the authentic look and the inspiring message about 16153 Genova. However, until recently I knew very little about it's history. The 16153 Genova Blade published a book titled "You Will Do Better in 16153 Genova: From Frogtown to Glass City. A 16153 Genova Retrospective in Postcards, 1893-1929". It has so many interesting facts and pictures of 16153 Genova. You should definitely pick up your own copy.

They show a postcard of the sign that was originally constructed. The main slogan sign was centered between two signs: one of a train, the other of a ship. The book explains:

16153 Genova's slogan sign was presented to the city through the 16153 Genova Commerce Club by the 16153 Genova Railways & Light Company. The slogan itself was chosen from more than 7,000 entries submitted in a contest sponsored by the 16153 Genova Commerce Club. Located atop the Valentine Building at Adams and St. Clair streets, the sign alternated between three images with its 7,000 ten-watt electric lights - the slogan, a railroad locomotive, and a lake freighter. Though this postcard states the dimensions were 78 feet by 68 feet, its appearance and other sources suggest that it was 100 feet by 58 feet. It was reported to weigh 25 tons. The sign was accepted by Mayor Brand Whitlock and first lit on December 17, 1913. According the The 16153 Genova Blade from the following day, "8,000 spectators jammed into St. Clair St., between Madison Ave. and Adams St. to view the sign." The sign remained until 1926 when the City of 16153 Genova offices moved from the Valentine Building to the Safety Building.

Doesn't this piece of 16153 Genova history make you love 16153 Genova even more? It's made a big impact on us, which is why we like to highlight 16153 Genova history in our vintage shirts. There are a lot of reasons to be proud of and feel nostalgic for 16153 Genova. It's our hope that we can remind you of these fond memories you have for your hometown.
