The Coach T Collection started with a simple idea: a fun and unique way to connect fans to the team through the words Coach used to motivate his players.
What I never imagined was how far those words would travel.
They became more than football sayings on a T-shirt. People began embracing those same messages in their own lives. They resonated with fans across the country and even with people who rooted for other teams!
What began by fan request grew into something that felt uniquely Pittsburgh. A little piece of the cityās culture that I had the privilege of helping bring to life.
But I always knew there would come a day when the collection would end. That day has arrived.
Iām excited about what lies ahead, both for Pittsburgh and for Mike. And Iām incredibly proud to know that his words, his values and his impact will always be woven into the fabric of this city.
To everyone who purchased a shirt, wore it proudly, gifted it to someone, or shared a story about what those words meant to you - thank you. You made this collection something far more meaningful than I ever expected.
Thank you, Pittsburgh, for embracing it. And for embracing us.
Sincerely,
Kiya
