The Story Behind the Detroit Tigers Motor City Design
Detroit earned its iconic title as the “Motor City” through decades of groundbreaking innovation and industrial growth, becoming the global epicenter of automobile manufacturing in the early 20th century. This jersey celebrates that legacy, intertwining the Detroit Tigers’ storied history with the city’s relentless drive.
The phrase ‘Built For Speed’ isn’t just a slogan; it’s a nod to Detroit’s deep roots in automotive racing and the forward-thinking energy that defines the city and its team. The design elements reflect this, from the speedometer-inspired numbering to the checkered flags, embodying a spirit of youthful energy and optimism for the future.
The ‘EST. 1901’ detail proudly marks the year the Detroit Tigers were established as a major league baseball team, a charter member of the American League. On April 25, 1901, the Tigers played their first major league home game, a historic moment that laid the foundation for over a century of baseball in Detroit. This jersey is a tribute to that enduring heritage, a symbol of resilience and triumph.

Care for Your Custom Jersey
To keep your jersey looking sharp, machine wash it cold with similar colors. Turn it inside out before washing to protect the custom graphics and numbering. Avoid using bleach or harsh detergents, which can degrade the fabric and print quality.
Tumble dry on a low setting or, for best results, hang dry to preserve the integrity of the material and prevent shrinking. Do not iron directly over any printed or embroidered areas; if ironing is necessary, use a low heat setting and iron the garment inside out.
