Hello there. I am just another Cincinnati guy who loves my city... because what is not to love about Cincinnati. As a proud Cincinnatian, I love Graeters ice cream, rooting on the Reds, dancing at Fountain Square, getting messy with Montgomery Inn ribs, and pounding Skyline chili 3-ways far too often. I love strolling around the zoo, shopping in OTR, and spending Sundays at Paul Brown (I refuse to call it Paycor). I enjoy watching the sunset over the beautiful Cincinnati skyline from Mount Adams. I just love Cincinnati. So I decided that it was time for me to give back to the city that raised me. And what better way to do that than by giving the people of the city a way to represent Cincinnati?

​

On February 10th, 2021, the idea for Rep My City was birthed. In 3 days, the Bengals were going to be playing in the Super Bowl for the first time in 30 years. All of Cincinnati was repping orange and black and all anyone could do was talk about the Bengals. Bengals merchandise pop-up shops were in every single gas station parking lot in the city. The city had transformed. On this particular cold February day, I pulled up to one of the gas station popup shops and looked through the shirt options and I realized something. The designs were all rather unimpressive and everything was overly pricey... this was the moment of conception. Cincinnatians deserve to represent their city proudly while wearing cool, locally designed, high-quality clothing. So I got to work. In three days, I made 7 Cincinnati graphics that I was proud of, printed them on some shirts, created a pretty simple website, and I made a deal with myself. If the Bengals won the Super Bowl I would release the brand in celebration of the Bengal's win and in time for the peak of Cincinnati pride. But you all know how the story goes. Cincinnati lost to the Rams 23-20 in a heartbreaking fashion. So now I had a lovely clothing brand and website that is 100% pointless. In the next few months, I ignore the project as I ice my wounds and heal from the heartbreaking loss.

But as the 2022 season came around again and Cincinnati football was about to return, I decided it was time for the brand, like a phoenix, to rise from the ashes. In November of 2022, Rep My City USA was placed back online, ready to shop, giving Cincinnatians attractive clothing that they can proudly rep their city in.

​

I want to thank you for choosing Rep My City, for shopping local, and for proudly repping your city. What does the future hold for Rep My City? Who knows. But it is called Rep My City USA for a reason...
