Leading Mich.-Centric Apparel Brand, The Mitten State, Working With Little Caesars® Pizza to Introduce Throwback T-shirt

The impossibly-soft tee features a blend of cotton, polyester and rayon that feels like a favorite old shirt, but cut in contemporary, flattering, modern silhouettes. It will appeal to Detroiters, Michiganders, pizza-lovers and just about anyone who has ever set foot in a Little Caesars restaurant.

The design itself, inspired by a menu from 1959 promoting the international pizza giant's first shop in Garden City, uses the period correct script, logo and "Pizza Treat" tagline in celebrating one of the state's most beloved brands.

"Every Mitten State design tells an authentic story about Michigan, and Little Caesars plays a huge role in our fondest memories here," said Will Bransdorfer, co-owner of The Mitten State. "Think about childhood movie nights, birthday parties, or celebrating your sports team victories. Little Caesars pizza was always at the center of the table for these occasions, and our commemorative tee will bring back a flood of warm memories the minute you lay eyes on it."  

"Looking back through our archives is like pulling out the old family photo album," said Edward Gleich, Senior Vice President of Global Marketing for Little Caesar Enterprises, Inc. "We've obviously grown exponentially over the years, but we'll forever be a Detroit brand at heart. These tees really take us back to an amazing moment in time. And they're incredibly well made. Just like Little Caesars, The Mitten State really provides a high quality product!"  

Now in its sixth year of business, The Mitten State is a leading apparel company for Michiganders seeking authentic clothing made just for them. Ever since stumbling across a well-loved heather gray Tigers shirt from the 1970s, it's been the mission of company owners Will Bransdorfer and Scott Zubrickas to replicate that vintage awesomeness in modern-day fabric designed to stand the test of time.
