Election Day T-shirts: Gots to Vote and Another Obama T-shirt

It is election day here in Pennsylvania and in a bunch of other states today. This morning, I tweeted a photo about my t-shirt today but I was thinking about election day and the fact that is has been a year since Obama was elected. We had a lot of fun following the 2008 election via t-shirts and putting together this post of 100 Obama T-shirts last spring. A few weeks ago I got to participate in a walk through of the Shepard Fairey exhibit Supply and Demand with Shepard Fairey (check out the write up of the walk through from the Pittsburgh City Paper) which just opened at the Warhol museum here in Pittsburgh - which got me thinking about the power of t-shirts and elections all over again.

So today I am wearing my “Gots to Vote” t-shirt by MNKR that I bought at the Unique LA craft market in May. This was just a few weeks after I had finished the 100 Obama t-shirts post and I just could not stop looking at Obama t-shirts. There were tons of amazing t-shirts at Unique LA and the reason I stopped at the MNKR booth was this Obama t-shirt - which Matt from MNKR was kind enough to send me a better photo of the t-shirt. I love looking back at all of the Obama shirts from last year and how many different designs there were.

Here is the t-shirt I am wearing today - I know this isn’t the best photo - and the shirt is a little wrinkled - which is funny because I just had a big conversation with the other Spreadshirt bloggers about ironing t-shirts yesterday. :)

I also wanted to show off the inside of the t-shirts because I really like how they screen printed the tag area - and marked the size with a little baby button. I think this is a really great example of an awesome one color design and nice use of font and spacing.

T-shirts Scarf Ideas from Around The Internet


Early this week there was a great post on the Craft blog about how to make a t-shirt memory scarf. I think this is a great twist on the ever popular t-shirt quilt - but almost better because you can wear a scarf and you can’t really wear a blanket. We have been talking here at Spreadshirt about other t-shirt remixes - ways to resuse your t-shirts so I thought I would do a little round up of some other T-shirt Scarf ideas. continue reading ‘T-shirts Scarf Ideas from Around The Internet’

Elvis Ranch $6.5 Million, Headline T-shirt of Elvis Ranch for $15

The ranch that was once owned by Elvis Presley and is now called the Elvis Ranch by the residents of Horn Lake, Mississippi is for sale. Elvis bought the place a few months before he married Priscilla in 1967.  Priscilla and Elvis spent some time there after they were married.  You can purchase the 154.5 acre ranch for $6.5 Million.   GoogleEarthHacks has photo of the ranch here.

I was hoping to find some more history about the ranch but there doesn’t seem to much info beyond what is in the CNN report here.

If $6.5 Million is a little out of your price range you can order the CNN headline t-shirt for just $15.
