Chicago Heather City Green City Flag Short Sleeve T-Shirt

Chicago’s flag is a very important flag, being flown from front porches all over Chicago, it’s seen everywhere! Chicagoans are so dedicated and in love with this flag, it has become a trend to get it tattooed (there’s even a website called “Chicago Flag Tattoos”!), a trend that took off in the 1990s. The three white stripes represent the North, West, and South sides. The top blue stripe presents Lake Michigan and the North Branch of the Chicago River. The bottom blue stripe represents the South Branch of the river canal. The four six red stars represent major historical events: Fort Dearborn, the Great Chicago Fire of 1871, the World’s Columbian Exposition of 1893 and the Century of Progress Exposition of 1933-34. If these aren’t enough reasons to show your love for Chicago, we don’t know what are!
