The following announcements were made by the Donora Historical Society and Smog Museum on the availability of Donora Dragon T-Shirts.

Dragon 1 Sept 2020
Donora Dragon 1

Donora Dragons T-Shirts Available

Donora was founded in 1901 and our sports teams were originally known as the Orange and Black. Around 1920, 100 years ago, we adopted a fire-breathing Dragon as our official mascot, reflective of what the Blast Furnaces and Open Hearth looked like in the night's sky at the steel mill. Even though students have not graduated from Donora in over 50 years, we’ve found that the younger generations still recognize the Dragon as a symbol of Donora and are proud to display the logo and colors, and also proud to call Donora home.

 

In 2017, we introduced a new modernized Dragon design with the “DONORA Forged in 1901” slogan created by two artists with Donora roots: Jesse Francis and Jared Altamare. Another Donora guy - Armand Forlini, printed the Dragon on black T-shirts and orange T-shirts with orange, black and white ink.

 

You can buy short-sleeve Tees ($20), long-sleeve Tees ($25) and crewneck sweatshirts ($30) in sizes S, M, L, XL, 2X and 3X at the Smog Museum (closed due to the virus, but we can ship and fill orders through the library) and at the Donora Library (M-F, 11-6 Facemasks required). Shirts sent by mail will require additional S&H of $4-10 depending on shirt weight. You can also order by email at donorahistoricalsociety@gmail.com or phone 724-823-0364.
