Annapolis Maryland shirt with crossed oars emblem and 1649 founding date—a tee for sailing enthusiasts and maritime history lovers.
The story behind this design
White lettering spells 'Annapolis' above two crossed oars in a clean, nautical style, with 'Est. 1649' centered beneath and 'Maryland' in smaller letters below. The design is structured and symmetrical, with horizontal dividing lines creating a badge-like feel. The crossed oars are a direct reference to water culture and boating heritage. The whole composition feels heraldic and grounded—this is about history and tradition, not trend. The black shirt lets the white imagery stand crisp and clear, reading as both respectful and strong.
Who it's for
Ideal for sailing enthusiasts, rowing athletes and coaches, Annapolis residents, and history buffs interested in maritime heritage. Makes a meaningful gift for someone involved in competitive rowing, naval or water-related professions, or anyone with Annapolis roots who wants to honor the city's founding and waterfront identity.
