Three to start
Fourteen original Worcester designs in the full shop. These three are where everyone starts.
Why it's different
- Drawn for Worcester, by hand. The Bancroft Tower, the neighborhoods, the sayings — our own artwork. No team logos, no school marks, no clip art.
- Heritage-weight blanks. Bella+Canvas and Comfort Colors tees, Gildan Heavy Blend crewnecks, Yupoong caps and cuffed beanies. The ones that survive a hundred washes.
- Printed to order in the USA. Made in 2–5 business days, 3–4 more to your door. Misprint or defect? We reprint it or refund it, no questions.

Questions
What sizes? Tees and sweatshirts S–3XL (2XL/3XL at the same price). Caps and beanies are one size with a real cuff and a real strap.
How long does it take? Each piece is printed or embroidered to order in the USA — 2–5 business days to make, 3–4 to ship. You get tracking.
Returns? Anything misprinted or damaged is reprinted or refunded. Because every piece is made to order we can't swap sizes, so check the size chart on the product page.
