Are you from Colorado, or do you consider it to be your home state? If you do, you might want a Colorado Patch for your jacket. This is one of the State Rockers patches, meaning it is done in an arc shape and is designed to fit on your shoulder, although it can be put just about anywhere on a jacket, vest, or even on your pants. The white text on a black background stands out nicely.
Colorado is the 38th state of the U.S. and is the eighth largest. It's considered a part of the Western U.S. and is made up mainly of the Southern Rocky Mountains, the Colorado Plateau, and the Great Plains. It's nicknamed the Centennial State because it was added to the Union in 1876, which was the 100th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.
Colorado was actually named after the Colorado River, not the other way around. Its capital city is Denver, which is also one of the largest cities in the state. Other large cities include Colorado Springs, Aurora, and Fort Collins.
There's a lot to do in Colorado. Many people visit the state to see its amazing mountains and other scenery. While Mount Elbert is the highest point in Colorado, most people are more familiar with Pike's Peak. Visitors can drive up to the top of this mountain and look out over Colorado Springs. The Royal Gorge is another popular attraction. There are also many national forests, national monuments, and ski resorts in the state.
If you love mountains and the outdoors, chances are you'll find something to love about Colorado. If you call this state home, add a patch to your jacket to let people know you believe it's the best in the country.
