The Chicago Girl T-Shirt is THE Must-Have garment for women to represent the city they love the most.  The Chicago Girl is one of our best-selling, longest-running tees, first appearing way back around December, 2003.  The top of the shirt reads, "stylish * sophisticated * super-fun" and the tag line reads, "never out of the loop" -- design features our stylized version of the Chicago Skyline.  This is an ideal shirt for Chicago women, whether they're around town, or traveling anywhere around the world.  It also makes a perfect gift, say, for your daughter or sister or girlfriend or niece, whether they're off to college or they've moved away.  Once a Chicago Girl, always a Chicago Girl, and even if she's a thousand miles from State and Madison, at heart, she's never out of the loop.

According to Chris:

Obviously, I know a lot of Chicago Girls.  I walk out the door every morning, and there they are.  What I like the most is, there are so many Chicago women who feel equally comfortable screaming in the bleachers at a Cubs or Sox game or pub crawling through Bucktown or Lincoln Park, as they do dressing up fancy and going out to a great restaurant or formal, or to the symphony or the opera -- starting to sound a little like a match.com ad here -- but it's true.  Chicago Girls seem to have it all, the best of everything.

About this new, new Chicago Girl tee -- the team fretted and sweated to come up with something really perfect here, because the shirt for the Chicago Girl was near and dear to all of our hearts, and we wanted to come up with some cool new twist.  If this was several years ago, in my "super-wordy" phase, we might have said something like, "El-Riding, Hot-Dog-with-a-lot-of-stuff-on-it-eating, street-festival-going, parking-ticket-getting, da-bears-loving, lakeshore-drive-rollerblading, dan-ryan-and-kennedy-construction-hating, marshall-fields-shopping (oops, scratch that), sears-tower-climbing (um, scratch that too), CHICAGO GIRL!"  But now, we try to get to the point.  The gang said, "Chris, here's the new web site... write all you want... but let's trim down the words that actually appear on the SHIRTS, ok?  Most women don't want people reading their chest for 20 minutes."  Noted.
