Illinois State with Chicago Flag Men's Shirt
About This Shirt When French explorers Jacques Marquette and Louis Jolliet roamed the land of what would become the great state of Illinois they could not have fathomed what a great state the land they were standing on would become. As time went on, Illinois would become a state that gave the nation Abraham Lincoln as well as other prominent politicians such as Hillary Rodham Clinton, Jesse Jackson, and Barack Obama. It would be a state that became home to the Chicago Bears, the Chicago Cubs, the White Sox, the Blackhawks, the Chicago Bulls, the Chicago Fire (that's six major league sports teams in one state!). Illinois gave the world the soothing sounds of Nat King Cole, the angry, political guitar rock of Tom Morello, and the soulful blues of Muddy Waters. The acting talent that has come from Illinois has been impressive as well; Bill "Back Off, Man! I'm a Ghostbuster!" Murray, Gillian "Agent Scully" Anderson, Amy "I've Got Something to Say!" Sedaris, all of them came from Illinois.
