1927 is not a small number. That is the year Chicago Midway International Airport was established, which means it was moving people and cargo before most of the neighborhoods surrounding it had fully taken shape. Clearing was still finding its footing. The bungalows on the Southwest Side were going up block by block. And Midway was already operational, already part of the city's circulatory system in a way that has never really changed.

Strange Allies put all of that into a badge and pressed it onto a tee.

The graphic is a full circular vintage badge, the kind that references old municipal signage and transit patches from the era when American cities were building things meant to last. The MDW code sits dead center, large and distressed. The airport coordinates ring the top. Est. 1927 anchors one side. Chicago, Illinois, USA curves along the bottom. The Chicago flag stars are there. The whole composition is worn through with a cracking distress treatment that makes it look like something you found rather than something you ordered.

That is the point.

Women who grew up on the Southwest Side already have a relationship with Midway that is more personal than any badge graphic can fully capture. Brighton Park, Marquette Park, Chicago Lawn, these are neighborhoods where the airport is not an abstract civic institution but an actual presence in the sky overhead. Pilots who have logged approaches into MDW know the specific geometry of the runways and the particular concentration of the surrounding city that makes it unlike almost any other major airport in the country.

The Y2K baby tee cut is cropped and close at true to size, which works under a leather jacket or a structured blazer when the occasion calls for something with an edge. Size it up and the fit relaxes into something you wear on a Sunday without overthinking it.

A souvenir with coordinates on it is a souvenir that knows exactly where it comes from.
