Bring a splash of Southern charm and coastal heritage to your gear with this premium embroidered iron-on patch! Inspired by "The Pelican State," the design features a detailed silhouette of the iconic Brown Pelican standing proudly against vibrant, 1970s-inspired retro sunset stripes. Marked with "Established 1812" to honor the historic year Louisiana officially joined the union as the 18th state, this patch beautifully blends unique bayou pride with a trendy, nostalgic lifestyle aesthetic.
Crafted with high-density embroidery and an easy-to-apply iron-on backing, it is perfect for customizing denim jackets, sun hats, backpacks, canvas tote bags, travel pouches, and festival gear. The clean, retro look makes it a popular choice for locals, road-trip travelers, wildlife enthusiasts, New Orleans tourists, and Americana souvenir collectors.
