"I Purple Heart Wisconsin" Sweatshirt

Purple heart. Not the red one. Purple. The bruised one. The one you earn after a lifetime of watching your team blow a lead in January while your toes go numb in a stadium parking lot that has been a sheet of ice since Thanksgiving. This state is a relationship, and the relationship is: you love it, it hurts you, you grill in a snowbank anyway. Cheese curds that squeak. Brandy in your cocktail because why not. A fish fry on Friday like it is federal law. Mosquitoes in July the size of hawks. Wind chill that files a restraining order against your face. You stay. You always stay. Purple heart energy. Cut soft and built to survive a tailgate, a bar, and the walk to the car when it is nine degrees out. The fabric holds its shape, the print does not crack after three washes, and the fit works whether you are layering up or sweating through a basement party in February.
