I know election day is over and now we can finally take a break from all politics all the time. CNN ran this segment about election overload - one woman sent in an interview - she said she had to go swimming because that was the only way she could stay away from the news - this ireport clip is great too.
But this t-shirt at TeeCycle caught my eye.
Here are a few reasons why I think this makes a good campaign t-shirt:
- logo is large - if you are trying to get a message across - it is much better to put your logo large, and in the front
- url on the back - easy way for people to find out more about the candidate
- easy to read - the text on the front and back is easy to read
- color - a bright color makes this shirt stand out
What do you think makes a good campaign t-shirt?

I agree with you Lindsay. The back is also a great place for text because people can read it without “staring” at you — in the face.
On the front, the big logo is great. I would recommend not having a script font if possible, as, like italics, it is harder to read.
This is a cool idea for a post, even though election themed… breaking down what makes a great “statement” shirt.
Thanks!
Hi Lindsay,
I’m Vineet, an MBA student from India currently in Germany for a while. I have reading up on Spreadshirt and its history. I found the concept really interesting and was wondering why it hasnt come into the Asian market yet. Do you have any articles on that and also any articles regarding Spreadshirt’s success in Amercia?

I think that’s the principle of putting the face on front and slogan at the back that the Obama Tshirts followed.
@ Sarika - do you like the shirts with the face on the front. I have another shirt from a campaign a few years ago - I never wore it because it just felt weird to wear someone’s face.
