Upperhand Apparel is a project that was born from a simple design and an excitement to see Michigan excel once again. There is a lot of pride and hope in Michigan today, with a growing tech scene and a big push to rebuild Detroit. It is a great feeling to have back in the air, one that I envisioned years ago listening to stories from my grandpa of downtown back when the city was great.
This all started with a desire to own and wear a good looking Michigan shirt. Most of the shirts I found online lacked clean style, were not tasteful nor were they functional while being active. The designs morphed quickly into a collection of 20+ Michigan icons and other designs, and I wanted a shirt with each one. Thus, it became a mission and Upperhand Apparel was created. I documented the experience of running with this project in an article, Launch a Clothing Company in 38 Days.
We are starting with 1 design, the LiveMI T-Shirt and I need your help to spread the word about Upperhand Apparel so I can print the rest of the icons!
