Vintage Ohio Shirts: Defunct Ohio Baseball Teams
Ohio's Central League towns made things, and their teams wore it proudly: the Akron Rubbermen, the Youngstown Steelmen, the Zanesville Potters, the Marion Oilworkers. Dayton fielded both the Ducks and the Aviators, a nod to the Wright brothers' hometown, and Cincinnati's Lodge & Shipley machine tool company fielded a club of its own. Down on the Ohio River, Ironton's Nailers played in the Mountain States League.
Our vintage Ohio shirts honor these defunct clubs with original designs grounded in real research.
Every team below links to its own collection, where you can read the full history and shop shirts, hoodies, and crewnecks for that club. Find your hometown team, or the one your grandfather used to talk about.
