Buy Iowa in Australia


Iowa is trendy Down Under.

If you can't see, the pictured hoodie reads, "Iowa: The Hawkeye State."

Cotton On, a popular Australian chain store, is selling a variety of hoodies highlighting America's more obscure locales. If Iowa's not your thing, there's also Wyoming, Montana and plenty more I can't think of at the moment.

Turns out, Chicago, L.A. and NYC aren't distictive enough anymore. Who knew? Funny thing is, I bet most of the Aussie kids sporting these hoodies wouldn't know Iowa from Idaho on the map. But I shouldn't judge. I've got my eye on a Waratahs rugby union t-shirt, and I couldn't name one player on the team.
