Lakeland may be nearly 1,000 miles from Detroit, MI, but the Detroit Tigers have forged a strong connection between the two cities that goes beyond baseball. Have you seen the phrase “Lakeland vs. Everybody” on t-shirts around town recently? You can thank Michigan for that, too.
The design is a play on “Detroit vs. Everybody,” a movement begun by a t-shirt brand more than 10 years ago to inspire Detroiters. With nearly 26% of our snowbird readers hailing from Michigan , it’s no surprise that some of its traditions have made their way down south.
Whether you’re a Detroit snowbird, a Tigers fan, or a local, you can get your own shirt from East of These. Shop online or catch this biz at the Downtown Farmers Curb Market on Saturdays, 8 a.m.-2 p.m. to shop in person.
