Gasparilla is a tradition that Tampa has carried for more than a century.
What began in the early 1900s as a staged pirate invasion grew into one of the country’s longest-running cultural festivals. Each year, ships enter the bay, crews take to the streets, and generations show up to keep the story alive.
This shirt is inspired by that history. The kind you grow up with. The kind you recognize without explanation.
It’s made for people who know Gasparilla as a season, not an event. Something marked on the calendar and felt in the city long before the parade begins.
Created as part of the Yerba Wear heritage work, this piece honors place, memory, and continuity.
