Light Up Chicago Style: Own a Piece of the City’s Iconic Beer Culture

Transit Tees has always captured the essence of what it means to be a true Chicagoan. More importantly, they understand why we love the things we do here in the city. Chicagoans are a diverse, eclectic bunch—whether it’s our passion for the classic “frunchroom,” our obsession with Italian beef, or everything in between. And in that “between” lies our love for Old Style beer.

Old Style has been synonymous with Chicago for as long as any of us can remember. Growing up, it was always Cubs baseball, an Old Style in hand, and a hot dog at the ballpark. Now, you can own a piece of that iconic Chicago culture.

For years, Old Style’s vintage signs have adorned the storefronts of local watering holes across the city and suburbs, becoming a beacon for thirsty Chicagoans seeking a cold one. These signs, shining brightly in neighborhoods far and wide, have been a symbol of where to find a good time—and a great beer.

Now, Transit Tees has teamed up with Old Style to bring that symbol to life in a new way. Introducing a stunning replica of the iconic Old Style sign that you can hang in your home, favorite dive, or wherever you indulge in the finer things (like Old Style, of course). Available for pre-order, this sign is ready to ship this November, fresh from the factory.

Light Up With Style and let the whole neighborhood know that Old Style will always be Chicago’s Beer.
