The Bridgeport baby bodysuit, for the town that is the Park City where P.T. Barnum wintered his circus. Soft fine jersey with the Bridgeport vintage retro logo on the front in black, newborn to 24 months.

This is the new-baby gift from the hometown: light, soft, with a snap crotch that makes changes easy and a logo the parents will photograph. Order it as soon as the news arrives; it is the Bridgeport piece most often bought for someone else.

Light 4.5 oz (153 g/m²) fine jersey keeps this unisex infant bodysuit soft and breathable. Side seams and ribbed binding add durability, and the snap crotch is secure and quick for changes. Solid colors are 100% combed ringspun cotton, while heather shades include a cotton–polyester blend.

Bridgeport was settled in 1639 at the mouth of the Pequonnock and incorporated as a city in 1836. P.T. Barnum made it his home, wintered his circus here, gave the city Olmsted’s Seaside Park in 1864 and served as mayor in 1875; Lincoln spoke here in 1860, and the 1893 Barnum Museum is a National Historic Landmark.

The Frisbie Pie Company’s tins became the Frisbee, the first Subway opened here in 1965, and the mills of the industrial boom still stand. Connecticut’s largest city keeps more than 1,300 acres of parks, a deep natural harbor and the ferry to Port Jefferson. The Park City is the mark on this piece.

Product FAQs

How does your sizing work?

Every item is made to order, so please check the size chart on this page before you buy. Women's fitted tees run small; size up for a looser fit. Caps are one size with an adjustable strap.

How are items made and when will they arrive?

We make each item to order using premium blanks, embroidery and soft-hand prints. Production takes 2-5 business days (weekends and holidays excluded), then 4-10 days in transit via USPS, UPS or FedEx to U.S. addresses; most orders arrive within 6-15 business days. You'll get a tracking link the moment it ships. Any current shipping offer is shown in the bar at the top of every page and applies automatically at checkout, no code needed.

How do I send a gift?

Enter the recipient's address as the shipping address and your own as the billing address at checkout. Nothing ships with a price; the package includes a plain packing slip. Tracking goes to your email, not theirs. For birthdays and holidays, order two weeks ahead to be safe.

What's the return policy?

Made-to-order items can't be returned or exchanged for size or color, so please use the size chart and photos before ordering. If anything arrives defective, misprinted or damaged, send a photo and your order number within 30 days and we'll replace it or refund you.

How do I care for my item?

Apparel: wash cold, inside out, with like colors; no bleach; tumble dry low or hang dry. Embroidered pieces: iron inside out to protect the stitching. Caps: spot clean. Printed glasses and water bottles: hand wash only, no dishwasher, so the artwork lasts. Mugs and engraved glasses are dishwasher safe. Any item-specific care notes are in the description above.

More From Bridgeport Connecticut

All Bridgeport Connecticut Items

What the city built in those years reads like a roll call of American industry. Singer made sewing machines here; the Bridgeport milling machine became a fixture of machine shops everywhere; Warner, Crane, Underwood, and others ran great plants along the water. Two smaller firsts left an outsized mark — the Frisbie Pie Company, whose empty tins students learned to sail through the air, gave the world the flying disc, and in 1965 the very first Subway sandwich shop opened on a Bridgeport corner. A city of machinists and inventors, Bridgeport had a knack for sending its ideas out into the world.

Our Bridgeport logo carries Connecticut's oyster above ‘Connecticut — Est. 1636,’ the shared retro emblem of our Connecticut towns. The oyster is the state shellfish and a nod to the shoreline trade that once made Bridgeport, New Haven, and Norwalk among the busiest oyster ports in the country; the 1636 date marks the founding of the Connecticut Colony. The emblem is the through-line that links Bridgeport to every other Connecticut town we make. What makes this one Bridgeport is the city pride stamped above it — the Park City, biggest and boldest on the Sound.

Why People Visit Bridgeport

Bridgeport balances big-city history with shoreline ease. Visitors pair the Barnum story and the downtown blocks with park afternoons, a morning at the zoo, and a ferry ride across the Sound. It is varied, historic, and coastal, with year-round appeal in its parks, paths, and public waterfront. History and everyday culture sit side by side here in a welcoming way.
