Cincy Shirts has long been a place for residents of the Nasty ’Nati to find duds to represent their loyalty to their hometown. But as the “Bungles” started playing more like the Bengals again, Cincy Shirts — with its stores in Hyde Park and Fort Mitchell in addition to an online shop — also became a place to nab high-quality, timely fan shirts. They even had a shirt featuring tight end Hayden Hurst before any major sports merch retailer. But the quarterback is always the star of the show, and Cincy Shirts’ wild, graphic “Joe Shiesty” tops are the real moneymakers. As of press time, the online store features no fewer than 15 tributes to No. 9. cincyshirts.com.
