Smiling brown teddy bear in light green T-shirt, standing on tiptoes with arms outstretched and making shaka sign with left paw. Above and behind bear is a rainbow. On shirt in silver capital letters are the words "I ♥ Hawaii," with the heart in red. Hard Rock Cafe logo is at bottom center with year (2019) at top of logo and city name at bottom, both in silver text.
The shaka sign, sometimes known as "hang loose," is a friendly gesture often associated with Hawaii and surf culture. Hawaiians use the shaka to convey the "Aloha Spirit," a concept of friendship, compassion and solidarity among the various cultures that reside in Hawaii.
This pin was designed by Theresa Alvaro, staff member at Hard Rock Cafe Honolulu. According to Alvaro, it was not formally meant to be a Pride pin, though its rainbow and welcoming theme leave room for interpretation.
Back of pin says "Limited Edition 300."
