We reviewed Progresswear a while back and they quickly became one of our favorite shops. So we’re more than happy to pass along a couple of t-shirt tidbits. They’ve permanently reduced the price of their women’s shirts and are offering a limited time deal on free shipping. If you’ve got a politically savvy, t-shirt-wearing, gift-worthy friend to shop for this season a Progresswear gift certificate would do the trick.

We’ve posted up a couple of new shirts after the jump. Both great spins on the Christian right. I’m sure I’m repeating some of what I said in my initial review, but Progresswear’s stuff is cut above. There’s a sensitivity to design, and especially type, that is clearly present in both the shirt designs and their web site. I’ve always said I love t-shirt design because it’s an accessible medium for creative entrepreneurs, but there’s a clear difference when you’ve got true designers at the helm. The results are well executed shirts, pared down to their simplest form, yet incredibly impactful.

Progresswear.com says it’s straight up: “Never discuss politics or religion at dinner. Wear them instead.” Designer Patrick King has done exactly that, with a powerful line of political slogan tees. Bold, no nonsense messaging, perfectly executed with a true designer’s eye.

Progresswear’s line up of political slogans is guaranteed to get you noticed and start conversations. These aren’t silly political humor slogans or petty insults. These are passionate statements about politics and religion in America.

I’ll admit I wasn’t aware the Ellis Island needed saving. That kind of sounds wrong, I mean, I didn’t know there was a campaign to save it.¬† Anyway, here’s American Idol’s Katharine McPhee promoting the cause with a Save Ellis Island tank top. More info here.

Things are just getting started for the next presidential election, which means it’s time to start up the political tee machinery. That’s just what Primotees.com has done with their very funny Barack. Paper. Scissors. Barack even beats paper. A hanging chad? That’s another story. Nice work guys. Get it at obamatee.com.

Sharon Stone’s gettin’ political with a classic John Lennon War is Over If You Want it t-shirt. If you’re looking for an anti-war slogan t-shirt it’s a classic. Perhaps when the war is over Sharon Stone will think about throwing on a little makeup.

I see a lot of shirts writing this blog. There’s a lot of funny stuff out there, but a lot of it looks the same. After a while you really feel like you’ve seen everything before. Needless to say it’s a rare thing when I hit a site and instantly laugh out loud. IsMyHomeGirl had me laughing. I defy you to look at Barack Obama in lipstick and earings and not laugh. The shirts are an interesting twist on the political tee. Bold, graphic, ridiculous and memorable.

One of the nice things is that they have tees of so many political figures. It’s not just the poll leaders. So if you’re looking to support (or poke fun at) Sam Brownback, Tom Vilsack or Duncan Hunter you’re in luck. And of course t-shirts of your typical targets like Barack and Hillary.¬† The companion site IsMyHomeBoy features the same set of portraits minus the lipstick. So whether you consider Barack your homeboy or homegirl you’re set. And as with all things political you can get stickers and buttons, in addition to shirts, ties and mugs.

Vegetarian Heather Mills at the Viva Anti-Farrowing Crate in the Pig Farming Industry event. Sporting a piggy Respect Life shirt. You see a lot of Heather Mills promoting political causes, but you’ll soon see more of her trying to dance with one left on Dancing With the Stars. I’m thinking there are some good parody shirts to come out of that.

We thought a little political Bush humor was appropriate in light of tonights State of the Union address. Fight the Evil Doers comes from Tee Junction, a good lookin’ CafePress shop filled with some funky retro vintage kind of stuff. Check em out.

I Stumbled this yesterday and thought it was pretty damn funny. It’s a tag from a small American t-shirt company that sells products in France. Here is how the French portion of the tag translates:

Wash with warm water.
Use mild soap.
Dry flat.
Do not use bleach.
Do not dry in the dryer.
Do not iron.
We are sorry that our president is an idiot.
We did not vote for him.
