Vancouver Gift Guide: Vancouver T-Shirts

I’m pretty sure that when I’m traveling you are able to tell where I’m from with just one look. My usual wardrobe consists of a Vancouver Whitecaps FC t-shirt, a local craft brewery hoodie, or my Ole Originals “VAN” shirt. If you also want to show everyone that you love where you’re from, here are some places to get some great local t-shirts:
