obamaforsenate.jpg Back in ‘96 the now superstar Web 2.0 politician by the name of Barack Obama ran for State Senate in the 13th District of Illinois, and there’s a T-shirt to prove it. Homage clothing is giving a portion of donations to CARE, a humanitarian organization fighting global poverty if you buy it. We find it to be slightly irreverent, and pretty nifty — just our kind of tee.

Anyone who has been reading this site since the beginning knows it was birthed during the 2004 presidential debates. And it’s probably no great mystery that this time around, if this site could wear a button, it’d be one for Obama. And if a website could vote, he’d be our choice for the next President of the United States of America. Well the bad news is, websites can’t vote, the good news is– those who run it, can, and he has my support. We believe in freedom of speech (you can thank America for believing in that as well), so as expected, you can comment away– but keep it constructive. Unintelligent flaming will not be permitted.

Ryan, the man behind this t-shirt and Homage Clothing, is a friend of mine. So, I just wanted to thank you for recognizing his talent and giving credit where due.

I own a boutique that carries his line and I can assure you that you are not the only person who has noticed the subtle and simple brilliance of Ryan’s design aesthetic. While t-shirt brands are a dime a dozen and so many of them are totally uninspired/uninspiring, Ryan has found a way to connect with people without all of the fanfair, biting, or outright theft that embodies so many other t-shirt brands. As a result, his brand stands out and appeals to a broad range of customers despite being totally unassuming. Homage is proof that simple can definitely be better.

(And, for the record, Ryan did not put me up to posting this.)
