Our Grand Prairie logo carries the Texas longhorn and Lone Star, the same emblem every Merlin Classics Texas place wears, set over "Texas Republic, Est. 1845." The longhorn and star are the Lone Star State's shorthand — toughness, independence, the open range — printed black-and-white with the worn look of an old barn brand or a rodeo poster. What makes this one Grand Prairie is the place behind it: the great grassland, the Mustangs, the racehorses. On a tee or a cap it reads less like a souvenir and more like a piece of North Texas — Est. 1845, worn plain.
Today Grand Prairie is a thriving Metroplex city, proud of its prairie name, its aviation heritage, and the racing at Lone Star Park, with the lakes and parks of Joe Pool and Mountain Creek at its edges. Its story runs from the Peters' Colony grassland through the 1863 rail-town founding, the wartime Mustangs and Liberators, and the modern city between two cities. Our Grand Prairie designs gather that identity into wearable form — the prairie, the propellers, the post position. Grand Prairie, Texas — on the edge of the great grassland between two cities.
