Do you still wear Obama shirts?

by Andy on January 17, 2011

obama t-shirt

I pulled the above shirt (from Ban T-Shirts) from one of the many stacks of tees in my bedroom, and whilst this one is fairly subtle as far as Obama shirts go, it did get me thinking, do people still buy and wear Obama shirts?

As ever, I’ll make the usual disclaimer that a t-shirt blog isn’t really the best forum for discussion about politics or political figures, but it is a damn good place to talk about political t-shirts!

It’s fair to say that Obama’s first term in office hasn’t gone quite as he has planned, and that a lot of the people that were supporting him in the run-up to the election in 2008 (and bought t-shirts) have become somewhat disillusioned, so what has happened to all of those tees, do you see people wearing them out on the street? Are people still creating and buying Obama shirts?

Breakfast at the Capitol

by Andy on February 19, 2010

breakfast on capitol hill t-shirt

You know what’s stupid about the Capitol Building?

Some of you may be expecting a rant about politicis here, but fear not, my concerns are far more pressing…. you aren’t allowed to take any kind of food or drink into the building, not even into the part where you go to get your tickets for the tour. This wasn’t so bad for me and my brother turning up in the morning, though I did have to throw a perfectly good apple (yes, you can’t take an apple in there, presumably an apple is a major security threat) into a huge bin filled with perfectly good food. It was pretty bad for the group of school-kids who went in before us though, who had to dump the contents of their lunchboxes into the previously mentioned bin. Ridiculous!

Good tee though, and for a limited time you get a free Washington, DC t-shirt with it, which I can only presume would be this shirt. If they run out of that shirt to offer you as a freebie, you’ll receive a $10 off coupon for your next order.

HOPE is Fading Fast by Freshjive

312 gallery image 2131090869 480x270 HOPE is Fading Fast by Freshjive

I’m leaving my soapbox in the cupboard (because really, what’s the point in anyone else talking about politics on the internet?), and just going to say that this is a pretty stunning design… though it would be nice if the ink from the Hope image ran down naturally rather than cutting off in a straight line. Actually now that I’ve seen that I’m going off this tee a bit.

Shirt will be going on pre-order on Black Friday [via BoingBoing]

Destroy Fox News by Print Liberation

fox news1 Destroy Fox News by Print Liberation

Here’s the thing, I’m British, and even I hate Fox News. In fairness to them, whilst they are astoundingly biased, they do cover stories, unlike CNN, which I tried to watch when I was in America, but when I realised that they covered about 3 stories an hour I had to move on and just read the BBC online.

William Henry Harrison Tippecanoe and Tyler Too 1840 Presidential Campaign T Shirt Retro Campaigns 1257716023442 480x350 Finally, Abe Lincoln gets the attention he deserves!

Abraham Lincoln 1860 Presidential Campaign T Shirt Retro Campaigns 1257716008583 480x351 Finally, Abe Lincoln gets the attention he deserves!

Theodore Teddy Roosevelt Bull Moose Party 1912 Presidential Campaign T Shirt Retro Campaigns 1257715986726 480x348 Finally, Abe Lincoln gets the attention he deserves!


I still like the concept of Retro Campaigns, creating shirts based on old political campaigns from America’s past. Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt and William Henry Harrison receive the treatment this time around. I think that I prefer the more modern poliical characters simply because we all know that Abe and Teddy didn’t use t-shirts to promote their campaigns, so whilst these tees are using graphics that were actually used (right?), they somehow feel less credible than the designs that were used as t-shirts, though that may partially be because there have been a lot of iconic t-shirt designs that have come from US political campaigns in the 60s and 70s.

Blajokevich: Governor of Gotham by The Fineprint Chicago

September 29, 2009

Every time I see Rod Blagojevich on TV I know he’s going to do something that makes me cringe, so I kinda hope that he gets sent to jail for trying to sell a senate seat just so I don’t have to see his face for a few years, oh, and because a Governor trying [...]

Can I post about another Barack Obama t-shirt line? Yes I can

July 15, 2008

Thriving Ink, who spend most of their time producing some really rather beautiful illustrative tees, have collaborated with AJ Dimarucot to produce a line of t-shirts all about Barack Obama that they’ve called ‘Hope is Dope’. Its amazing just how many brands are producing designs and lines about the man who has Hope, I wonder [...]

Terrorist Fist-Jab by Cotton Factory

July 2, 2008

Again, I don’t want to enforce my personal politics/hatred of Fox News on you guys, but seriously, who the hell decided that they could make a news story out of calling that teensy-tiny fist bump a terrorist fist-jab? And yes, I know that I’m way behind the actual event on this one, but sometimes it [...]

Review: Barack’n the Free World by KosherHam

June 30, 2008

I don’t want to force my politics on anyone, but when I found out that John McCain pandered to voters by saying he condemned any remarks that were “anti-anything” I lost rather a lot of respect for him, so I got off the fence went for Obama, which is lucky for me, because there are [...]

Obama ’08 (Audacity) by Enstrumental

February 16, 2008

I haven’t quite decided who should get the ever-so-powerful HYA Presidential endorsement, but I do like this tee, and as the pic above shows, Barack Obama certainly doesn’t disapprove! Enstrumental released their OBAMA shirt in March 2007 (before many hopped on the OBAMA tee bandwagon) and has given 8% of the proceeds of the many [...]
