The made in America card deck is coming to the delight of historians and film fans everywhere as 'Lincoln' is released in theaters. The cards are distinctly created to have a vintage feel and rustic appearance with each card in the deck designed with a very strong patriotic theme. The kings and queens bear an "American-Made" slogan, while every other card in the deck has the more discreet "Manufactured in America" at the bottom. There's even an eerie sense of [patriotic pride](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/made-of-america) on the jokers as each one is dressed in traditional Civil War attire, but totes a skull for a face; perhaps just for fun or more sinister than they let on. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.6/10 - Popularity: 7% | Activity: 4% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Home](https://www.trendhunter.com/home) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Vintage Patriotic Playing Cards:** There is an opportunity to create more vintage-style patriotic playing cards that pay homage to national pride and historic events, such as a deck of George Washington or American Revolution cards. - **Historically Themed Merchandise:** There is an opportunity to produce more merchandise with historic and patriotic themes, such as patriotic mugs, flags, and clothing that can be sold in tourist areas. - **Movie and Merchandise Synergy:** There is an opportunity for movie studios to collaborate with merchandise producers to create movie-themed merchandise that ties into the release of a new film, such as releasing new product lines when a new film comes out. ### Who This Affects Most - **Playing Cards Industry:** The playing cards industry can benefit from creating more historically-themed and patriotic playing cards, which could spur demand among collectors and tourists. - **Tourism Industry:** The tourism industry can benefit from selling merchandise with historically-themed designs, such as a deck of vintage patriotic playing cards, to tourists visiting museums, historic sites, and other tourist areas. - **Movie and Merchandise Industry:** The movie and merchandise industry can benefit from collaborating on merchandise releases with film studios, which could increase sales and awareness of both the movie and the merchandise. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Film Awards-Inspired Playing Cards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/film-awardsinspired-playing-cards.md) - [Limited-Edition Playing Cards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/limited-edition-playing-cards.md) - [Mid-Century Modern Playing Cards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eames-playing-cards.md) - [Indie Game Playing Cards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/balatro-playing-card-deck.md) - [Structure Building Cards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/house-of-cards-building-kit.md) - [Smiley-Themed Collectors Cards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bicycle-x-smiley.md) - [Magic-Themed Card Decks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uno-harry-potter.md) - [College-Inspired Card Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/po-up-card-game.md) - [Notable Females Cards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/women-that-changed-the-world.md)
