The closer we get to November’s election today the more politically inspired tees you’re likely to see out and about. Most of them, well, suck. Here’s a couple good alternative to the typical schtick from ThrivingInk.com. The line is called “Hope is Dope” and is done by artist AJ Dimarucot. A portion of the proceeds will also make their way to a charity.
Wow, our second political post this week. It is an election year after all. The folks over at Progresswear.com have put together a promotion to mark our 5th anniversary in Iraq. The LIERAQ tee is $5 off through the end of April. Plus a portion of proceeds go to the Veterans for Peace organization. Good cause, great shirt.
We don’t post up that many political themed tees, but we’re happy to come across Ban T-Shirts. A super selection of progressive liberal minded tees. From anti-bush to pro-American Indian to Green themed slogans and designs, there is definitely something for everyone who’s proud to flaunt their progressive mindset. Our Think Green sample tee is a great example of their witty graphic style. Printed on 100% organic cotton.
I’ll admit that when I hear about patriot, American pride t-shirts, the first thing I think of are gaudy, overdone Red, White and Blue shirts with the proverbial flag. TakePride.com has a fresh, youthful spin with a line of tees inspired by our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. They are also donating 20% of their profits to charities that assist combat veterans including the USO and Wounded Warrior Project.

A few weeks ago we spotted Jennifer Love Hewitt wearing a Save the Future tank. Turns out the shirt comes from the EJF - Environmental Justice Foundation. There’s more a bit info on the EJF after the jump, but the short story is that the tee was part of their Supermodels Support Cotton campaign. Shop from the line of shirts here. All shirts are 100% organic cotton and use Soil Association certified printing.
Designer Marc Jacobs is getting political in all kinds of ways. A couple weeks ago we posted on his naked Posh Spice shirt. Today he’s at it again with a Hillary Clinton tee. Thankfully Hillary is not naked, just really really big. The tee goes for $38 and, as you’d imagine, a portion of proceeds go toward Hillary’s presidential bid. While it’s no will.i.am video, it’s a least something for Hillary’s ailing campaign.
Fallout Boy’s Pete Wentz has stepped out and officially (I guess) endorsed Barack Obama for President. Interesting to see how the celebrity camp takes sides in an election year. Here’s Pete sporting his Obama t-shirt at some event. At think you’re a lot more likely to find the youthful endorsers sporting political tees than Hollywood’s older A-listers.
Are you undecided in this years presidential election? Can’t decide on Barack or Hillary? No worries. Retro Campaigns puts a cool (old) spin on the political tee - and you’ll already know exactly who won, or lost. They’ve got a great collection of ‘classic’ political tees inspired by campaigns and candidates long gone by. So if you’re stuck in the 70’s you can still support Carter and McGovern.

With 2008 being an election year I have no doubt we’re going to see an endless stream of celebrities wearing Rock the Vote t-shirts. First up, Brittany Murphy. While they’re not the most exciting t-shirt we’re certainly a fan of the message. And if celebrities in t-shirts is what it takes to get voters to the polls the so be it.
Got a good political tee for the upcoming election season? Make sure you drop us a line.
