"I Orange Heart Virginia" Long Sleeve Shirt

Red hearts are for people who get weirdly emotional about their home state. This is an orange heart, which means you like Virginia the way you like a solid second date: genuinely into it, not ready to get a tattoo about it. Orange is also the official color of every car windshield here from March through May, when the pollen rolls in like a biblical event and your sinuses file for divorce. It is the perfect amount of affection for a commonwealth that has mountains, beaches, peanuts, country ham, more battlefields than stoplights, and a highway corridor where you can age a full calendar year between two exits. Half an inch of snow and the entire place shuts down, but those autumn ridges turn colors that make you forget you were ever mad about anything. Soft, broken in from the first wear, and built with a stitch quality that survives laundry day, humidity, and whatever you spill on it at a tailgate. Fits true, holds its shape, keeps its color.
