Behind the artwork

About this design

If you know, you know. This design is a love letter to Pittsburgh’s unforgettable “cone culture” and that electric moment when a win turns into a citywide celebration. The artwork shows a ballplayer lifting a bright orange traffic cone like a trophy, with bold “HOIST THE CONE” lettering, splashed with confetti-style energy and hometown attitude.

It’s made for Pittsburgh lifers, game day diehards, and anyone who wants to wear black-and-gold pride without saying a single team name. Whether you’re headed to the ballpark, watching with friends, or just repping your neighborhood on an ordinary day, this one says it all: raise it high, stay loud, and don’t let anyone forget where you’re from.

Made for: Pittsburgh locals, Yinzers, transplants, and sports fans who love a hometown celebration vibe (adults, youth, toddlers, and infants where offered).
