Rainbow Riders Rodeo Texas 1969 Black Cowgirl Pride T-Shirt

Rainbow Riders Rodeo Texas 1969 Black Cowgirl Pride T-Shirt

Welcome to the Rainbow Riders Rodeo—an imagined Western gathering where every rider is free to take the reins and be seen. This Travis County edition features a confident Black cowgirl riding a charging white unicorn beneath bold, weathered rodeo lettering.

Set in 1969, the illustration evokes an era of growing LGBTQ+ visibility and cultural change. It also places a Black woman at the center of Western imagery, honoring the presence of Black cowgirls while creating space for identities too often overlooked in traditional depictions of the American West. The design represents an imaginative event rather than a documented historical rodeo.

Oversized horseshoes, ornamental stars, distressed typography, and a warm cream, navy, rust, and brown palette give the artwork the appearance of a rediscovered Texas rodeo poster. The unicorn’s speckled coat and sweeping multicolor mane add an unmistakable note of queer imagination without losing the design’s rugged Western character.

Wear it to Pride, a queer rodeo, Black Pride, a country concert, a festival, or an everyday gathering. Created for Black LGBTQ+ adults, queer cowgirls, Western enthusiasts, allies, and anyone ready to ride beyond convention.

Part of Rainbow Riders by Walt & Pete®—where queer imagination meets the open range. Stand tall. Ride proud. Be seen.
