The Greatest Of All Time - [Downingtown Whippets] - [Long Sleeve / Hoo

Hail to the Original.

The GOAT.

This shirt is not just a tribute to Petey Nicholson—it’s a salute to the many great athletes who’ve come through Downingtown, leaving their mark on the fields and courts that shaped our community. At the forefront is Petey’s father, Paul Nicholson, who dominated the gridiron in the early 70s as an All-State player, setting the tone for generations to come. Paul was a force to be reckoned with, and his athletic prowess helped build the foundation of Downingtown’s proud sports legacy.

We also honor Tina Nicholson, Paul’s daughter and Petey’s sister, who became a women's basketball legend in this area, with a career that still echoes through the halls of local gyms. Tina’s name is synonymous with excellence, and her contributions to the sport put Downingtown on the map in ways that no one can forget. She was not just a standout player but an inspiration to every athlete coming up in our town.

This area is full of talent—so many athletes have come through Downingtown that we could talk for days. From football fields to basketball courts and beyond, there’s something special about this little corner of Chester County that keeps producing greatness. And let’s be real—the graphic designer behind this shirt is definitely biased—and if you were from here, you would be too!

This shirt is dedicated to all of you—the legends, the up-and-comers, and everyone in between. It’s fully customizable, so whether you want your own name, number, or sport on it, we’ve got you covered.
