I was pretty surprised to see today’s shirt of the day at Design by Humans be a Barack Obama t-shirt. It is not often that you see political themed shirts at the t-shirt design competition sites much less one showing support for a presidential candidate. It has caused a minor stir over at Design by Humans too with people concerned about politicizing the site. Some people, and not just conservatives, feel that there should be a McCain shirt to balance the equation. Someone else commented “I can’t see why anyone would want to wear his face on their chest.” but if you read about Cafepress and Zazzle you will find that a good deal of people want to wear his face on their chest. I think I read recently that Cafepress said that 80% of their sales were political, the majority of which were Obama products. I think you will find that many people want his face on their chests.

All that said I don’t think much of this design and you will find better on Zazzle and Cafepress. The design is too orange and too big and the pose too dour.
