The Story of Our Cleveland T-Shirt Company

In 2008, a designer and an entrepreneur (who were also lifelong friends) developed an idea for a shop over beer, chili, and burgers at Whitey’s in Richfield, Ohio. Excited about the possibility, they decided to act on this opportunity to create fun apparel that celebrates their favorite city – Cleveland, Ohio. Soon after, they bought a screen-printing press, some blank T-shirts, and started to work on designs.

Once they acquired the proper materials, they needed to get the word out. This meant starting a website, learning social media, and creating business cards. The founders even attended in-person events so that they could start “Spreading Cleveland Pride, One T-Shirt at a Time.” The CLE Clothing Co. soon became an icon for locals and tourists alike by producing uniquely designed Cleveland graphic T-shirts and apparel.

Since its founding in 2008, our Cleveland T-shirt store has developed from a two-man team to a family of over fifty Clevelanders who are passionate about our apparel, collections, and accessories. We also have expanded into four different stores while maintaining our online “wear-house” that distributes our ecommerce orders.
