I was paging through the Metro Times and came across an ad for Neighborhoodies. They basically have hoodies of all varieties and colors which you can customize as you please. The company’s based in Brooklyn, so most of the examples on the website are of NYC neighborhoods, but the folks in the Metro Times ad sported Ferndale, Woodward, and Hamtramck hoodies. I’m not sure what I would get from around here (since I already plan on purchasing the red hooded sweatshirt with Detroit in blue (Pistons colors), and Northwest Detroit just doesn’t have that ring to it). I think any number of Minneapolis or St. Paul neighborhoods would be pretty sweet. I might almost go for SLP or Cedarhurst.
UPDATED: I didn’t look thoroughly before I posted this, but now I see that they do have quite a few options already listed for a variety of cities. My Detroit choices would be “8 Mile” (even though that’s all played out now), “Motor City,” “From the D,” or maybe even “Grand River.” My Twin Cities choices would be “Calhoun” or “Uptown.”
