Taking you on a trip down memory lane to the moment that Yinzylvania really took off. And what better way to start this story than with the tee that started it all – the legendary "Play Renegade"!
For those who might not know the history behind Pittsburgh's ties to the Styx classic "Renegade," here’s the story: The Steelers were trailing the Browns 24-7, and the stadium felt like a funeral. Then, during a commercial break, the slow, melodic intro of "Renegade" filled the air, and suddenly, hope was reborn. The crowd roared back to life, the team rallied, and Pittsburgh history was forever changed. The song quickly became a rallying cry, energizing both the fans and the team in crucial moments.
Fast forward to 2021, as Yinzylvania was putting together its first set of tees, and two simple words captured that magic: "Play Renegade." The "Play Renegade" tee was born, and it became an instant hit!
That season, the "Play Renegade" tee really took off! The yinzers of the world just couldn't resist the allure of Renegade's call. One of the highlights was when Pirates All-Star David Bednar, known as "The Renegade" himself, showcased our tee on the team's official Instagram account. Talk about the ultimate yinzer stamp of approval!
Now, let's be honest, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, and some other brands have tried to knock off our design around the Steel City. But let’s set the record straight: the real deal, the original "Play Renegade" tee, can only be found at Yinzylvania.
So, there you have it—the tee that kicked off our journey, the tee that celebrates the Pittsburgh spirit, and the tee that's got the whole Steel City talking. Thanks for being a part of our yinzer family, and remember, when it comes to "Play Renegade," it's always game on, right here in Yinzylvania!
