We’re very excited to announce we are partnering with the Art Institute of Pittsburgh in the release of designs celebrating St. Patrick’s Day, Pittsburgh style! From the press release from AiP:

In celebration of Pittsburgh’s Annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade Wear Pittsburgh and The Art Institute of Pittsburgh have teamed up to bring you the greatest Yinz Irish t-shirts of all time. These shirts aim to honor the heritage and passion Pittsburghers have while celebrating this annual event. Each shirt captures the Pittsburgh Irish theme in a unique and clever way.

The challenge of reinventing the St. Patrick’s Day theme was set before a group of honor students at The Art Institute. The Design Studio class has accepted and excelled at many local design challenges, taking this year’s St. Patrick’s Day in stride. Ultimately the designs from student Lizz Guriel were chosen for production.

A portion of the proceeds  will benefit The Art Institute of Pittsburgh’s Education Foundation, creating scholarships for students.

WearPittsburgh will give half the proceeds back to the Art Institute education foundation to invest in the next generation of art students.

The first design is available now and is called 412Irish. And, if you pick one up between now and March 12th, you can use discount code MARCHSALE and save 15%!

Look for other AiP/St. Patrick’s Day designs coming very soon!

Another new design hot off the press – and this one is the intersection of our love of the riverboats that grace the Three Rivers and the SNL Digital Short featuring Andy Samberg and T-Pain called “I’m On a Boat”. If you’ve never seen it, we’ve embedded the video below.

Thank you, Pittsburgh, for allowing us to donate $150 to the Make Room for Kids campaign which raised over $10,000 for a game room at Children’s Hospital! Special thanks to Virginia Montanez at That’s Church for spearheading and organizing the effort. We appreciate your support and generosity for the campaign and for WearPittsburgh!

The donation will facilitate the creation of a game room at the Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh and help brighten the days of children fighting illness. More details to follow, but the game room will include consoles, PCs, and handheld games for the kids to play.

WearPittsburgh will donate 20% of all sales of t-shirts to the Lemieux Foundation for this effort until the goal of $10,000 is raised.

So – buy a t-shirt for yourself or someone else as a gift and give to the kids at Children’s Hospital in the process!

After too long of a hiatus, WearPittsburgh is back and releasing some new designs in time for the holiday season!

The first design is our Route 28 design, which celebrates the explosion (no pun intended) of construction incompetence that often surrounds the oft-travelled road.

We’re currently working on some changes for WearPittsburgh, which include:

  • The feedback that you’ve provided about the website and usability of our store has been heard loud and clear!  It is our plan to release an easier to use store to make your shopping experience better.
  • We’re looking into changing our fulfillment partner so that we can offer more complex and interesting designs. We’ll have more information on this in the coming weeks.
  • More new designs are coming soon!
