Election Observations – T-shirt Review

The elections aren’t about the fashion choices of the candidates but the t-shirts for the various campaigns this year suck, and they suck hard.

True Blue – Actually has the cleanest of the shirts. They’re okay. [Not an endorsement of the team. I’m just saying that their shirts aren’t atrocious.]

OAT – Well, if day-glo lime-green and pink is the choice that suits you, okay,  but I don’t want to look like an irradiated watermelon.

The Red Team – I’m not sure who they are but I got accosted by someone in a red t-shirt last week with what looked like Communist propaganda imagery on it. Seriously, check these shirts out if you see one of their reps on campus. It’s very Mao of them.

iGov – Apple is wrapping its claws even tighter around college-age Americans with their new student government team. iGov, with crap indie music as well. Apparently, they don’t believe in shirts or color.

Students First – I think they’re the purple team in this race but I’ve seen a couple different colors on their shirts. In principle, their silhouette idea is good but in action it looks terrible. Mostly, I’m not sure what I’m looking at even though I know that I’m supposed to see the ASUO office. The trashcan silhouette is a nice touch though.

Side-note: In a non-T-shirt related note, Deborah Bloom has apparently decided that she is above last names and is running for the Senate Journalism Seat under the singularity, Deborah. This according to the ASUO Voter’s Guide.
