What’s going on Cleveland!
I hope you’ve been enjoying the month of September and even though the Browns are off to a slow start, that’s no reason not to celebrate some of the great things that have been going on here in town. We recently went to the Dragon Boat Festival down by the river and had a great time checking out the rich culture that is tied into the festival. Don’t forget that Cleveland Beer Week is also coming up next month too for all you sud-buds!
Onto the big news; our new shirt! Our latest design honors a recognizable sign in Cleveland history-Cleveland Municipal Stadium.

Long gone are the days of going to the old stadium and seeing Len Barker, Brook Jacoby, and Gaylord Perry play ball or Webster Slaughter and Brian Sipe defend the home turf, but the Gate E shirt reminds us all of our past while looking towards the future of our city! Personally, I can still remember walking into the stadium with my family as a little kid to go see an Indians game during the first days of what would become our powerhouse of winning during the 90s, seeing Albert Belle, Jim Thome and more-the stadium may have been old and cathedral-like, but it was our house as fans and I have very fond memories of Muni Stadium.
The stadium was opened in 1931 and was home to Indians and Browns games, as well as the World Series of Rock by WMMS, a Beatles concert, and many other events. Eventually the stadium was demolished in 1996 where our new stadium now sits. Most of the remains of stadium were tossed into Lake Erie to create an artificial reef for the lake’s ecosystem.
We really love this shirt and I’m pretty sure you will too, Gate E has a great nostalgic, worn look to itself and it will make you think back to walking through the turnstiles to go see a game at the old ballpark.
