When we launched 5518 Designs, the mission was never just to print T-shirts. From day one, our goal has been to celebrate the places we call home, tell stories worth sharing, and create products that help people feel connected to their communities.
As 5518 grew, we realized there was another chapter to that story.
Schools, colleges, and hometown teams have always played a huge role in creating community identity. They are where lifelong friendships begin, traditions are passed down, victories are celebrated, and generations gather around something bigger than themselves. A sweatshirt with a college logo or a shirt supporting your local school isn’t just school spirit—it’s another way of saying, “This place matters to me.”
That’s where Dig City Supply found its purpose.
While 5518 continues telling the stories of Butte and Montana through original designs, Dig City Supply focuses on the institutions that help shape those stories. From Montana Tech and the University of Montana to local schools across the state, we wanted to create a place where students, alumni, parents, and fans could celebrate the communities that helped make them who they are.
Together, both stores continue pursuing the same idea that inspired us from the beginning: celebrating the places, people, and traditions that make our community feel like home.
