It all started in a driveway in Lowell, Michigan in 1974. Eighteen friends put $1 in a pot to play a 3 on 3 tournament. Little did they know it would grow into the most famous basketball challenge in Michigan.

Surprised one of my best friends with this shirt for his 50th birthday! We played in the Gus Macker as high school freshmen and it was one of the best weekends! Giving him this shirt, allowed us to relive lots of memories. It’s his favorite shirt! Extremely comfortable! I got one as well! Great shirt! So many people ask about. I tell them go to mitten state!
Seeing my hub in this makes me smile. We loved the Gus Macker!
I ordered several shirts for Christmas gifts this year - and the Gus Macker shirt was to make up for throwing out my husband's original shirt nearly 20 years ago. :) Thanks for helping me redeem myself! All of the shirts I ordered are excellent quality and were well received.
When you’ve moved from MI to FL things get lost in the shuffle and then you hear, “I wish I could find my old Gus Macker shirt,” 21 years later know you’ve just been given the go ahead to find one for Father’s Day. I got on the Google and found a few beat up ones on eBay but then The Mitten State came thru once again. Great shirt as always. We have quite a few in the wardrobe at this point…always makes a great gift.
My dad was absolutely blown away when he got this t-shirt from me. He actually used to play in the Gus Macker tournaments. It was a great time in his life, and he hadn't thought about it in a long time. This was awesome. Thanks for such a nostalgic piece of merchandise. Love it!
Highly recommend for its quality and fit. The tshirt stays soft after multiple wash and never lost the shape/color and softness. I highly recommend this t-shirt for its exceptional quality and perfect fit. It retains its softness even after multiple washes, and its shape and color remain intact throughout.

The Mitten State has excellent quality shirts that have a great feel & fit!
Great color and super soft!
The quality of the shirt and the fit is great, which is hard to find these days . I Will gladly buy shirts from this company again!
I am a bit of a hoodie collector. This is by far the softest, coziest hoodie on the market. I have both the pull-over and zip-up hoodie and the quality is awesome. It’s the perfect way to rep your region or team.
I like my t-shirts from the Mitten State. They look and feel great. The pricing..... keeps me from buying more and more!
Fit was perfect (sized down to small/usually women's M) so soft, lightweight. Go Blue!
I love mitten t shirts
