Wow, good news travels fast. Yesterday we got some love from our new friend Allison Kaplan in her Swag e-newsletter. Swag is the latest shopping and style news that comes out every Tuesday from the editors of Mpls.St.Paul Magazine - read ballers. I have a feeling this is going to be a very long and loving relationship. Minnesota Nice, indeed.

Winter is coming up so sign up here and be the first to hear about cool new brands <cough /> and all the other great deals in the Twin Cities fashion scene.

10% of every shirt you purchase helps Minnesota Computers for Schools provide technology access for lifelong learning. The organization trains Stillwater Correctional Facility inmates to refurbish computers donated by local businesses. The computers are then shipped to K-12 schools across the state for a nominal fee.

The original artwork for this shirt was created by Sean Tubridy and is printed using only eco-friendly inks on a navy 100% cotton American Apparel crew neck cut. The shirt is also available in an indigo tri-blend v-neck cut.

If you are unsure of what size to get please see this size chart.

You might not know it, but Katie and I both are products of the Midwest – Minnesota to be exact – and being in New York has made us a little homesick. We’ve taken that feeling of distance and used it to create a new batch of Minnesota inspired t-shirts. These shirts are particularly close to our hearts because they’re about home – the designs reflect some of the things and places that we love most about Minnesota:

• Hot Dish: The unofficial food of Minnesotans, read up it here
• Duluth: Port of America
• Uptown: The neighborhood that’s so cool you’ve probably never heard of it
• Music: The phat beats that bounce between Minneapolis and St. Paul
• Snow: One of many things Minneapolites take pride in

As the holiday season approaches, we’ll be spending quite a bit of time at home and we couldn’t be more excited. Especially now that we have these sweet tees to wear around to show our pride.

**All these tees are now available on the tees page.

Scared Panda Station is printed using only eco-friendly inks on an ultra comfy black, 100% cotton American Apparel t-shirt. This tee is available in unisex sizes and was designed by Razvan Anghelache.

Once we got settled into our new jobs and apartment here in New York we finally got the time to start working on a few new t-shirts. Of the new t-shirts we came up with are Indie Rock Panda(girls & guys), Gloom Buster, Anchored, Free Ridin’ Panda and the much anticipated Hold The Ketchup reprint – on organic cotton I might add. With these new tees, just like with all of them, this new batch has a story or a special meaning behind each and every one. Sorry about the overall quality of the t-shirt pictures, I was pretty excited to get them online yesterday.

So, check out the new tees and let us know what you think in the comments. Check back over the next couple of days, we’ll be writing posts about the individual shirts to tell you the stories behind them.
