The HerKentucky Kentucky Pride Swag List
State pride is having a moment.
It seems that, everywhere you turn, local makers and purveyors of style are taking localism to its logical next step -- products proclaiming a home state, home town, or just their sense of home.
I've got to tell y'all, I can't get enough of these. I've always proclaimed my allegiance to the Bluegrass State, and it's no surprise that I'm stockpiling taking part in this of-the-moment trend of regional pride. Here are a few of my favorites.
Old Try's Kentucky Regions T-Shirts
Here in Kentucky, our regions have such rich and unique cultures. I love these shirts that proclaim the region from which the wearer hails. The Old Try is an amazing North Carolina-based company that is, quite literally, a "Mom & Pop" store; the husband and wife owners recently welcomed a gorgeous daughter. I love the quality of my Bluegrass shirt, and am already planning to order a few more to commemorate the various parts of the Commonwealth that I've called home. (I'd advise ordering this shirt a size up from your regular fit.)
Kentucky T-Shirts from The Prickly Pear Boutique
Unbridled Spirit T-Shirt from Bourbon & Boots
Look, y'all, it's our second-favorite Kentucky Tourism slogan! Find this shirt at Bourbon and Boots.
Kentucky Spellings T-Shirt from Kentucky for Kentucky
And, of course, there's HerKentucky readers' favorite way to keep the Commonwealth close to their hearts:
The Kentucky State Love Necklace from Southern Belle Glitz
Y'all love this product. I love this product. And, this time, we're giving y'all a chance to win a gold-tone necklace with a Kentucky-shaped pendant. Same rules as before, and you're eligible to enter through the end of May.
Good luck, and let us know: How do you keep Kentucky close to your heart?
