CLE tee with bold red X, white letters, and a red state outline—a graphic take on local identity with clean, vintage-inspired geometry.
The story behind this design
Three white letters—C, L, E—sit at the corners of a bold red X that commands the chest. Below, a red silhouette of the state outline grounds the design in geography. The composition is symmetric and striking, using negative space to create balance. The geometric simplicity reads both contemporary and nostalgic, recalling vintage travel graphics and mid-century Americana. The red-on-black contrast is bold without overwhelming, and the outline detail adds specificity without clutter. This tee speaks to deliberate design: every element serves the aesthetic and the message.
Who it's for
Ohio residents with strong local ties, graphic design enthusiasts who appreciate clean geometry, and collectors of place-based apparel. Perfect as a gift for someone moving away, a memento for visitors, or everyday wear for locals. Works for casual settings, gift-giving to friends out of state, or anyone who values understated regional pride over obvious logos.
