Minnesota pride tee with the state map and local catchphrase 'In Sota We Say Pop' on black—a wearable insider joke for anyone from or connected to Minnesota.
The story behind this design
This black tee celebrates a distinctly Midwestern regional quirk—the way Minnesotans call carbonated drinks 'pop' instead of 'soda'—rendered as white, distressed text laid across the outline of the Minnesota state map. The type has a weathered, vintage texture that suggests this phrase has been passed down and lived in by generations. It's simple, graphic, and unapologetically regional, speaking to the kind of cultural pride that comes from inside knowledge of how your home really talks. The design feels authentic and unpretentious, making the state itself the canvas for a joke only locals truly get.
Who it's for
Perfect for Minnesota natives who wear their regional identity proudly, transplants who miss home, and anyone drawn to hyperlocal, insider humor. Great for college students, returning natives, friends moving away from the Midwest, or as a gift that says 'I get where you're from'—it's the kind of tee that builds instant connection with other people who grew up saying 'pop.'
