What Makes Our Graphic Tees Different (and Why That Matters)
Anyone can print a graphic tee.
Not everyone puts meaning behind the ink.
At Kings of NY, our graphic tees aren’t just designs slapped on cotton. They’re rooted in where we come from, how we started, and what we stand for. Born in the Bronx, we built this brand from the floor up, literally. What started in a bedroom with a single heat press and a dream turned into a rented storage space, and eventually into a warehouse we could finally call our own.
This isn’t a dropship hustle. This is personal.
Designed by Us. Worn by the Real Day Ones.
Every design you see from the OG Tee to the BRONX Transit Tee to the classic Uptown Tee is created by our small team who’s been dedicated to this since day one. No big agency. No focus group meetings. Just real creatives from the same streets that inspire the work we do. Nothing given to us.
We don’t follow trends. We make what feels real to what we think our customer will love.
Every graphic has a story. Every release reflects our our mindset, the people and the belief that we don't need a middle man to give our supporters what they want.
The OG Tee: More Than Just a Shirt
The OG Tee isn’t just a cool shirt it's one of our first classic designs to be copied across the world. It’s a nod to the early days of late nights, hand-pressing shirts, and hand delivering packages across the borough. If you’ve ever taken the long road, bet on yourself, or started with nothing but a plan this shirt is for you.
It’s minimal. It’s bold. It’s built with purpose.
The BRONX Transit Tee: Where It All Began
We wear the Bronx like a badge of honor. The BRONX Transit Tee captures the energy of the BX: movement, survival, and always going somewhere even if no one else sees the vision yet.
This tee is about roots. It’s about pride. And it’s about showing love to the borough that raised us even when the rest of the city looked the other way.
The Uptown Tee: Fly With It
The Uptown Tee is confidence in cotton. It’s a statement without trying too hard. It carries that same energy you feel walking up Fordham, grabbing a chopped cheese, or posting up on the stoop in the 90-2000s.
Uptown representing Harlem, The Bronx and The Heights is effortless New York style at its finest.
Why It Matters
When you buy from us, you’re not just getting a shirt.
You’re getting a story. A legacy in motion.
We don’t outsource our designs. We don’t mass produce overseas. We create, print, and ship right from our warehouse we built and own because we believe in keeping control of the vision. That’s ownership. That’s independence. That’s what streetwear should be about.
In a world where fashion is more corporate than culture, we’re staying true to where we came from.
And if you’re reading this, there’s a good chance you’re the same kind of person.
Stand With Us
We don’t have investors. We have supporters. We have people who’ve been with us from a one-bedroom apartment to shipping worldwide.
When you wear one of our tees, you’re repping that story. You're repping that grind. You’re saying, “I back brands that stand for something.”
So if you’re ready to stop wearing clothes from those careless over produced websites run by people who really don't care and start wearing something real?
You know where to find us.
