No, I’m not a Chicago tourist and I also don’t roam the plains with buffalo. BUT, I do need the spontaneous sporting shirt to wear (I mean, I can’t be caught in pictures in the same gear). So, ‘Where the Buffalo Roam’ fits my needs.
The store is small, but they carry all of the Chicago sports teams’ items. As an added bonus, there’s even a dressing room (with a door). That’s kinda’ a big deal at these type of stores, just sayin’.
One thing to note, the store changed its name to something else, but it’s still and always will be «Where the Buffalo Roam.»

We were walking around Michigan Avenue a few years ago enjoying the summer when the items in this story caught our eye. Lots of cute and unique items geared towards Chicago and another nonsense stuff. I ended up getting a Chilly Willy t-​shirt from here. I love it! Prices here back then were a bit high probably since this store is located on Michigan Avenue. Havent been back since we were last here, but I’m sure they still have fun stuff here since that was their specialty!

Agree with the previous reviews that this WAS a great store. Unlike the dozen or so generic tourist t-​shirt shops that line Michigan Ave., this store provided great deals on quality merchandise. Sadly, that is no longer the case.

I went here today to stock up on Hawks post-​championship swag, only to find that this space is no longer Where the Buffalo Roam, but rather a generic shop blaring loud, crappy music.
RIP.

Véritable caverne d’Ali Baba des souvenirs les plus extravagants, ce magasin sympa et idéalement placé est une mine ! Casquettes de base-​ball (un rayon pour les Cubs, un autre de taille identique pour les White Sox, né fâchons personne), T-​shirts géniaux, plaques minéralogiques, posters, et tout et tout, avec un personnel un peu nonchalant mais compétent et sympa.
Pas besoin d’aller bien plus loin: tout est là !

«Monica Lewinsky’s ex-boyfriend’s wife for president» — One of the unique/​clever t-​shirts advertised in the window (I pass this store going to and from work everyday).
This is not the average tourist shop. They have a more unique selection of items and high quality sports apparel/​fan memorabilia. I have never seen so many witty t-​shirts in one place! This store is fun just for entertainment purposes or killing time before catching the train. My favorite part of the store is their sports apparel.
With my boyfriend being a big Bears/​White Sox fan, I know where I’m getting all his gifts from now on…
I give this store 4 starts because they are a bit pricey, but not outrageous.

Considering that it’s not a huge store they have quite a nice selection of t-​shirts and jerseys and similar things. They have Soccer tees, I got an Italian one there. It doesn’t fit me already though, but I don’t think they run small, I just eat too much. Well it’s a combination of the two things probably, heh. So I need to go back soon and get a XXL one. They of course have lots of Cubs stuff which is neat. They have Capone shirts, funny shirts, and even a Thundercats shirt! They had other little touristy things but all I cared about was the shirts.

This place sells mainly t-​shirts and sweatshirts, most with tourist-​oriented Chicago-​themes (including our sports teams) and some racy/​rude shirts with slogans about such topics as smoking leaves and having your pickle held. They also carry gag gifts such as Gummi Boobies. That should give you a pretty good idea of the markets to which they cater…

I like the tees. If I don’t feel like dressing up I put one on with a pair of jeans heels and designer bag & sunglasses.
They have good normal day to day stuff here.

This is a very cool gift shop. It’s right across the street from the Art Institute. Alot of wacky t-​shirts and Chicago memoribilia. Alot of tourists probably stop here.
