Black Country T-shirts – How it All Began!
If you’ve seen people walking around areas like Dudley, Wolverhampton, Stourbridge, Tipton and Cradley Heath wearing t-shirts printed with words such as “Yow Cor Spake Propa”, “Ar Bay A Brummie, I’m from the Black Country”, and “You’m Avin a Loff”, then you probably wondered where they got them from.
Well, they’re from a website called TeetShirts – if you go to Google and search for them, you’ll find them straight away. There’s also a link at the bottom of this article to take you there.
TeetShirts was started in 2007 by a pair of schoolfriends Warren Smith and Steve Pitts. They were sat in their local pub one evening, talking about what they wanted to do with their lives, and then suddenly the idea of Black Country T-Shirts came to them. T-Shirts printed with slogans showing pride in the Black Country…. they quickly set up a shop and it took off in a big way, and very quickly.
As well as selling t-shirts bearing Black Country slogans, they also make t-shirts for stag and hen parties, staff uniforms, and birthdays & holidays. Whatever you need printed on a t-shirt, they can do!
The guys have also been featured on national radio and local television thanks to their Black Country Alphabet song, with a video featuring t-shirts with slogans such as “B is for Nana”, “H is for Oss”, “P is for Tateer” and “U is for Um”.
So, if you’re looking for an original gift idea, why not grab a Black Country T-shirt from TeetShirts!
