Celebrating Detroit, Michigan

Located beside the Detroit River, directly across from Windsor in Canada, Detroit is one of America’s most historically important industrial cities.

Known internationally as the Motor City, Detroit became the centre of the American automotive industry during the twentieth century. The city is closely associated with major car manufacturers including General Motors, Ford and Chrysler, whose influence helped shape modern manufacturing and American motoring culture.

Detroit also has an extraordinary musical history. In 1959, Berry Gordy founded Motown Records, launching a musical movement that introduced the world to legendary performers including Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, Diana Ross and The Supremes.

The city’s musical heritage also includes rock, soul, jazz and electronic music, with Detroit widely recognised as a birthplace of techno.

One of Detroit’s most distinctive landmarks is the Renaissance Center, a collection of skyscrapers overlooking the Detroit River. Its central tower has become a familiar feature of the city’s skyline and is represented in the artwork on this sweatshirt.

Other famous attractions include Belle Isle Park, the Detroit Institute of Arts, the historic Fox Theatre and the Motown Museum.

Detroit is also home to passionate sporting communities, with professional teams including the Detroit Lions, Detroit Tigers, Detroit Pistons and Detroit Red Wings.

Michigan’s nickname, the Great Lake State, reflects its remarkable geography. The state borders four of the five Great Lakes and is renowned for its freshwater shorelines, natural scenery and outdoor recreation.

Our Detroit Michigan varsity jumper brings together this famous city’s architecture, heritage and identity in a classic American college-inspired design.
