A retro-inspired design with colorful wildflowers and peace symbols celebrating North Dakota pride in a playful, seventies-tinged aesthetic.
The story behind this design
Bright and optimistic, this black shirt bursts with color. 'I'd rather be in North Dakota' appears in large pink lettering across the chest, surrounded by a cheerful scatter of daisies, wildflowers, and botanical shapes in coral, orange, yellow, green, and white. Two peace symbols frame the composition—one as a heart-shaped variation in pink at the top, another as a yellow outline at the bottom—tying the whole piece together with a groovy, peaceful vibe. The flowers feel hand-drawn and folk-artsy, evoking a gentler era while celebrating contemporary themes of positivity and belonging. It's whimsical without being childish, colorful without feeling chaotic. The design speaks to genuine affection for the place, wrapped in a retro visual language that feels timeless.
Who it's for
This tee appeals to North Dakota natives who wear their home with pride, transplants feeling homesick, and anyone drawn to retro-boomer aesthetics. Gift it to friends moving away from the state, road-trippers collecting regional tees, or people who appreciate vintage-inspired design mixed with modern sensibilities. Suits casual wear, weekend outings, and anyone who values simple, genuine sentiments over irony.
