Helpful answers

Questions about this design

What’s the meaning behind the shamrock and skyline look?
The shamrock is a clear nod to Irish heritage, and the skyline-style fill brings in that Boston hometown pride. Put together, it’s a simple way to say “this is my city” and “these are my roots” at the same time.
Is this more of a St. Patrick’s Day vibe, or everyday Boston pride?
Both. The shamrock gives it a lucky, Irish-heritage feel that’s great for St. Patrick’s season, but the bold Boston lettering keeps it solid for year-round wear, travel, and neighborhood pride.
How do I choose a size for Boston City Pride Irish apparel?
On the product page, click the Size Chart button right beside the size options. It opens the chart for that specific style. If you’re between sizes, we generally recommend sizing up.
When will my order ship and arrive?
We print your item after you place the order, and most orders ship the same day or next business day. Most orders usually arrive in about 3 to 4 business days after shipment.
What if I need to return or exchange something?
Our current policy is kept at expressiontees.com/pages/policies, and returns are generally accepted within 30 days under that policy. If your order arrives damaged or incorrect, email info@expressiontees.com with your order details and photos if helpful.
How should I wash and dry it to keep the print looking great?
Keep that Boston pride going. Machine wash cold and inside out with like colors. Use only non-chlorine bleach when needed, tumble dry on medium, and do not iron or dry clean.
How is the design printed, and will it match what I see on screen?
We print every order after it’s placed using professional heat-press equipment and plastisol transfers. Your item is printed, packed, and shipped from Phoenixville, Pennsylvania, just outside Philadelphia, and placement matches the digital mockup. Colors are shown as closely as possible, but screens and garment color can make shades look slightly different in person.
Who would enjoy this as a gift?
It’s a great pick for Boston locals, former residents, and anyone with Irish roots who loves repping their city. It also makes a fun souvenir-style gift for someone who misses Boston or wants a lucky shamrock touch in their everyday gear.
