South Side for Obama! I basically got the idea to design and make these shirts for South St. Louis residents when a friend from Seattle was in town visiting recently and gave my wife a "Ballard for Obama" tee from her neighborhood. That design featured Obama wearing a viking helmet. I thought it was a fantastic idea, very clever, and immediately started thinking of ways that we could do something similar here in St. Louis to show more support for Obama on the south side. I whipped up a design that features the Bevo Mill (arguably thee most recognizable landmark in South St. Louis) and also included a fleur-de-lis, lest there be any confusion as to which "South Side" we were talking about (i.e., not Chicago!). The design would be screenprinted as a simple, one-color screen on nice, 100% cotton, "Carolina blue" Hanes tagless shirts (a newer version has the design printed in dark blue on white/navy Anvil ringer tees). I believe that if we can get enough of these shirts out there amongst the community that it would really help in showing undecided voters that there is a lot of community support and excitement for Obama in this election. The Obama campaign has been making great strides in generating grassroots enthusiasm and this could be a great example of that sort of grassroots action from his supporters here in St. Louis, and may even help to get more people registered to vote. I feel strongly about doing whatever I can to help get Obama elected in November, as, frankly, the thought of "President McCain" terrifies the hell out of me, and this is just one of many ways I'm doing that. Obviously, all proceeds from the sales of these shirts will go directly to the Obama campaign. These shirts will be available for purchase for $12 each at The Royale Food & Spirits on S. Kingshighway. I have also set up a Myspace page for this fundraising venture: http://www.myspace.com/southside4obama If you need any further info, please don't hesitate to ask.
