From the Gulf Coast to Rocket City, this Welcome to Alabama sign celebrates the state with "Welcome to Alabama" and "The Yellowhammer State" in white lettering on a green panel trimmed with a slim white keyline. The words are fixed as pictured.
The yellowhammer, a northern flicker with bright yellow wing feathers, is the state bird, and the nickname is usually traced to the Civil War, when Alabama troops wore yellow-trimmed uniforms. Montgomery, the state capital, was the scene of the 1955 bus boycott, and Huntsville's space centre earned it the Rocket City name. It is a thoughtful gift for an Alabama football fan, someone who has holidayed at Gulf Shores, or a friend with family in Birmingham or Mobile.
Hang it in a den, a kitchen or a games room, or stand the A6 on a shelf. Clean shows sharp colour; Rusted gives a printed, roadside-aged finish. The sign is a decorative reproduction, not official or reclaimed signage.
