I stayed up all last night watching the historic events unfold across the Atlantic, even if it meant that I didn’t eventually get to bed after 6:30am French time, but it was very much worth it to hear Obama’s first speech as President elect of the United States of America.
This design has been doing the rounds today, and with good reason. The tee is by Print Liberation, a group that have a knack of producing tees that manage to look both retro-inspired and really fresh at the same time. Also, I feel like their tees are the kind that just look good when you’re wearing them, and that they can be matched up with pretty much anything.

I’m so stoked that Obama won the election, and that he even won my home state of Virginia (though I’m technically a New Yorker now), that I’m giving everyone 30% off at Seibei this week.
Just use coupon code YESWECAN. It’s good through Saturday. I’m trying to clear out some stuff to make room for new inventory, some new designs, get ready for some big shows, but I’m also really, really stoked about the election – it’s nice to have someone I voted for win for once, and to have a President Elect that has inspired so many.
“IT’S A SALEBRATION!”
So, if there’s any McCain folks out there reading the blog, at least you can perk yourself up by buying some clothes, quite a few retailers seem to be doing election related sales and disounts.

I don’t really know what the connection is between the American election and them selling t-shirts for $10 ($18 polos, $25
hoodies), but I don’t want to question it too much in case I jinx it and they pull the
sale.

I cannot wait until November 4th when I can put a hold on my uneasy relationship with political tees for at least a few months, as I presume that when the election is over people are going to stop making Obama designs.

People seem to have been going crazy for these tees over the past few days, and I can see why, since its
Star Wars merchandise, and as I understand it, all Star Wars merchandise is popular. What I didn’t realise earlier is that as well as the t-shirts posted above, the full capabilities of
Zazzle‘s ability to customise clothing is being utilised, meaning that if you feel that
you deserve to be voted to Jedi Council then you can put your own name onto a tee. There’s also buttons available to help complete your election outfit.
As far as I can tell, they aren’t actually holding an election, I thought this might be tied in with some kind of poll to find the most favoured Star Wars character, but it appears not.
Check out the Star Wars selection at Zazzle.
I’ve just realised that none of my tee blogging brethren have gone near this story, which probably means I should steer clear too, but if its on a t-shirt and its news then I think I should at the very least alert you to its presence. Basically, a tavern owner in Georgia thought it was a good idea to produce a t-shirt which had
Curious George, a cartoon chimp for those of you that are unaware, on it with the slogan “Obama in ’08″ written underneath. The Bar owner, Mike Norman, claims that he doesn’t mean any offence with the t-shirts, and that he just thought that the monkey and Senator Obama looked alike. He’s still selling the t-shirts (who on Earth would buy one?), but the owners of Curious George (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt) aren’t particularly happy about their image being used in such a way, so whilst free speech ensures this guy can create such a t-shirt, copyright law will probably mean that he can’t do so for very long.
