By John McDevitt

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Keepsakes marking Pope Francis' upcoming Philadelphia visit like mugs, t-shirts and even bobble heads are filling area shops. An Old City t-shirt shop is letting customers customize their own pope merchandise.

You design it and the Old City T-shirts will print it on shirts, hats, tote bags and even baby bibs.

Owner Evan Sharps says all you need to do is go to oldcityshirts.com

"And now you can design it the way you want it to look." said Sharps. "You can put icons in there. You can actually upload your own image on to there. You can design the shirt the way you would want it to look once you are done with your concept you can submit it to us."

He says one organization wanted 400 customized tote bags for the Pope's visit.

You can also purchase pre-made pope merchandise from the store located in the 200 block of Church street.
