Chicago L ShirtsChicago L Shirts

If you’re looking for a gift for me, I’ll take one of these sweet Chicago L-Shirts.

If you know Chicago, you know the ‘L’. And now you can wear it.

The current CTA ‘L’ signage is a modification of the original 1969 design, known as the “Kennedy-Dan Ryan” signage, set in Helvetica and color-coded to match the eight corresponding CTA ‘L’ lines.

Chicago pride is induced by the kinship we feel with our neighborhoods and the transit lines that connect them. That sense of pride, coupled with our affection for typography and design, have inspired us to create this series of transit t-shirts (also known as L-Shirts).

Currently, the only stops available for sale are the four Chicago Avenue stops along the Red, Blue, Brown and Purple lines. We hope to have more available in the future.

I’m a blue-liner, so blue please. Buy shirts at www.chicagolshirts.com.
