Similarly a visitor to New York would be proud to wear a T-shirt with “I love New York" painted boldly on it. Such simple messages express feelings very clearly. It could be a poetic message or very serious with political undertones. Some could be merely funny or just reminders of experiences like “I survived hurricane Andrew".
