Everyone knows the best place to go for Cincinnati gear – Cincy Shirts, of course.  And if you’re an FC Cincinnati fan (and really, who isn’t?), Cincy Shirts is the ONLY place to go for officially licensed FC Cincinnati shirts, sweatshirts, signs, flags, ornaments, and so much more.

When FC Cincinnati was acquired by Major League Soccer, they went to bat for Cincy Shirts with the MLS to be sure that they stayed the only official source for gear; Cincy Shirts and FC Cincinnati have been partners since before their first game!  Now that the hit soccer club is in the MLS, Cincy Shirts has the only single team MLS licensing ever granted: so why look anywhere else?

Cincy Shirts has two in-house designers who don’t just create logo items; they take the time and effort to put a Cincinnati spin on what they dream up, so you’re getting more than an FC Cincinnati item, you’re getting a little piece of the hometown with it.  Everything is locally printed as well, so they really put the “Cincinnati” in FC Cincinnati.

Items will be available for purchase starting January 1st, so head down to any of their three locations: Over-the-Rhine at 1301 Main Street; Hyde Park at 2709 Observatory Ave.; and downtown Loveland at 295 W. Loveland Avenue for all your FC Cincinnati desires.  They’re open Monday through Friday 10am-7pm, Saturday 10am-6pm and Sunday 10am-4:00pm.  Can’t drop by the store?  Order online at www.cincyshirts.com.  

You can’t leave town without a little piece of FC Cincinnati, so drop by and get your gear at Cincy Shirts.
