Rainbow Riders Rodeo Arizona 1972 Pride T-Shirt | Queer Cowgirl Tee

Rainbow Riders Rodeo Arizona 1972 Pride T-Shirt | Queer Cowgirl Tee

Saddle up for the Rainbow Riders Rodeo. This Walt & Pete® graphic transforms the classic Western rodeo poster into a spirited celebration of pride, individuality, and women who refuse to be confined by tradition. A confident cowgirl rides a white speckled unicorn beneath the words “Pima County Fairgrounds • Arizona • 1972.”

The scene is an imaginative creation rather than documentation of an actual 1972 rodeo. Its early-1970s setting evokes a consequential period when women and LGBTQ+ people were organizing more visibly for equality, autonomy, and public recognition. Reimagined through a queer Western lens, the cowgirl becomes a symbol of courage, independence, and belonging.

Weathered slab-serif lettering, ornamental banners, desert mountains, tall saguaros, distressed ink, and a sun-faded palette give the illustration the character of a recovered rodeo handbill. The unicorn’s flowing red, gold, and teal mane brings an unexpected flash of Pride Spirit to the otherwise earthy Southwestern composition.

Wear it to Pride, a queer rodeo, country concert, women’s history event, festival, or casual gathering. Designed for LGBTQ+ women, queer Western fans, feminists, allies, and anyone who believes every person deserves the freedom to ride boldly through life.

Part of Pride Spirit by Walt & Pete®—bold apparel for a brave future. Stand tall. Ride proud. Be seen.
