Amarillo, Texas heritage tee with 'Est. 1887' and tan lettering on black—a vintage-inspired shirt celebrating the city's roots and local pride.
The story behind this design
This design adds historical depth to hometown pride by anchoring Amarillo with its establishment year. The shirt displays 'Amarillo' in large tan capital letters at the top, followed by a rectangular badge reading 'Est. 1887' in a smaller, typewriter-style font, with 'Texas' underneath in matching tan. The color palette—warm tan or cream against black—gives the shirt a vintage, timeless feel, like an old commemorative emblem or heritage marker. The centered, stacked layout feels classic and intentional. By including the founding year, the design transforms a simple location reference into a story about roots, continuity, and belonging to a place with history. Black cotton reinforces the vintage aesthetic.
Who it's for
