A surfing craze swept the nation in 1965, prompting Fred Fillah to open Scooter's Surf Shop in Maryland. Fred also created his own surfing tee shirts, which were a new concept. Within a short time, Fred realized that more tee shirts were being sold than surfboards. Fred had found his niche. In 1968, Fred opened Shirt Xplosion on Ocean City's boardwalk. The shop was a huge hit. The Shirt X look was loved by everyone. After the summer, Fred began making custom shirts for local businesses. This was followed by lifestyle lines of skateboard, surfing, and Uncle Reefa tees. Our shirts were soon being sold to stores all over the country as Fred traveled to trade shows across the country. Shirt Xplosion's reputation for quality grew, and in 1979, SX was printing North American tour tee shirts for bands such as The Who, Pink Floyd, U-2, Queen, and Eric Clapton. Shirts were printed at our shop and flown to the concert venues around the country. By the mid-80's, SX was licensed with most major colleges, NFL teams, NHL teams, and MLB players' associations. Shirts were designed for players and teams and shipped to stores, we are currently working with NFL player's and college athletes. Our move to Florida has the SX family focused on the local business that can benefit from our services. We are driven by the opportunity to create art for others. We look forward to meeting with you, and helping you create designs that will appeal to your clientele.
