With the Iowa Caucuses out of the way, the New Hampshire Primaries dead ahead and Super Tuesday looming on the horizon, I got to thinking about this year’s presidential election, in t-shirt form of course!
While you can always get a candidates official apparel and related merch from their website, it is often…how to put this delicately…boring as hell. I understand they have to be safe, but you can only see so many variations of the flag wrapped over “John Doe 2008″ before nausea sets in. Nevertheless, the official apparel does funnel money directly into the candidates campaign, so keep that in mind.
The grassroots effort has spawned tons of creative and colorful shirts for every candidate and issue you can imagine over at CafePress. There are some really great ones, and of course some that would be better suited as shop rags. CafePress makes it easy though: you can sort by party (even the obscure ones), candidate, or by issue.
There’s also a section dedicated to “Anti-” shirts if being a negative nancy is your thing. For fun, you can also find shirts for people who aren’t even running, including Steven Colbert, Condi Rice and the like.
