I am a Buckeye born and bred. Even though I would move from this state in a heartbeat if I could get my husband to move west, I would still be, and will always be, a Buckeye. You can be proud of the state in which you were raised and still hate winter. Just sayin’.
Ideally, I would only move away for the cold months – and maybe some of the hot ones – but, spring isn’t bad and fall is just gorgeous around here. It would be hard to be away from September-November because the trees turn fiery, the wind is crisp, and Buckeye football rules all.
In Chicago recently, I was at a group dinner when I was introduced to a man sitting on my right. He asked where I was from and I said, “Columbus.”
He replied, “Columbus…Ohi0?
I nodded and he said, “O-H!”
And I answered, “I-O!”
Then everyone else at the table looked at us like we were crazy.
Don’t judge us! We spell it so we’re not confused with Iowa.
In a few weeks, when football season begins, I will don this shirt from The Home. T and wear it with pride. And, comfort. I boast my allegiance to all things Buckeye in softness. Buttery softness.
At the same time, I’ll be showing my loyalty to my country (every Home. T is made in the U.S.A.) and my family and friends (a portion of profits is donated to Multiple Sclerosis research). I’m covering my bases in one fell-swoop and one very soft t-shirt. Ohioans rock at multi-tasking; we can watch football, drink beer AND milk a cow at the same time.
Where do you consider home? Would you wear it proudly across your chest? See if your state’s shirt is available, here!
Disclosure: I was sent a free Home. T for review. I also disclose that I love this shirt!

Uh. Awesome?
Though I wish they made a kids’ shirt, not just a Baby Onesie. I’d get the boys and husband Ohio and I’d be all PENNSYLVANIA REPRESENT. (But also have an Ohio one too because Dual State Citizenship or something.)
The Home T
So happy to hear you are loving your Home T!
Jenna, we’re a growing small business and are adding new sizes slowly. With 50+ designs it takes a little time to ramp everything up as we want to continue making awesome products and providing great customer service!

Having lived in two different states since leaving Ohio, I can safely say, once a Buckeye, always a Buckeye. But I still cheer for my Kentucky Wildcats in basketball. Sorry.

I like that they have a Canadian t-shirt. 🙂

I am also a Buckeye born and bred and most of my family is still there.
I must have this shirt.
I knew there was a reason I liked you so much.

You are so darn cute it is ridiculous. Did I even spell that right?
Melisa
MUST. GET. ILLINOIS.
P.S. I say you and I go in on a winter home out west. How about it?

Being from Texas, of course I would wear the t-shirt. I love the “my y’all I’d authentic” shirt.
I wish they had kid sizes too.
I will be getting an Oklahoma shirt for my niece’s Christmas present.

That shirt rules!! Off to look for one for New Jersey!

I love this! I always scream OH and want people to answer and I’m not even from there. It must be a midwest thing. I was born in Missouri, but I have to admit my heart belongs to Idaho, where I grew up. And I have been coveting one of these t shirts since I found out about them! They are so cute and such a brilliant idea! It’s on my wish list

Born, raised and have always lived in Columbus, OH and I literally live only 15 minutes from the “horseshoe”!!! I forever will bleed scarlet and gray!! I love this shirt! Can’t wait for football season to start! GO BUCKS!!

It is the best, most comfy shirt I own.
And your state is so much better looking than mine. I live in a square.
Kimmie
LOVE this shirt. Sign me up. And GO BUCKS!!!

I could not love this post more and the shirt is awesome!! We were just discussing how football is back in 3 weeks and Tate is old enough for an OSU cheerleading uniform this year. We indoctrinate early in our house.
