Retro Campaigns Review: Old School Presidential Campaign Shirts

Retro Campaigns Screenshot

Here are some pretty unique shirts that you won’t find all over the internet already. And with the current presidential campaigns going on, I think this is pretty appropriate. The company is called Retro Campaigns, and they sell what they refer to as “Classical Political T’s.” I’m not old enough to know if these shirts are similar to original designs from the 60s and 70s (I would think they are), or if they’re originals, but they look pretty cool nonetheless. All of them refer to certain presidential candidates from the past, from guys like Jimmy Carter and Ted and Robert Kennedy, to the likes of Barry Goldwater and LBJ. If you’re a history buff, or maybe old enough to have some fond memories from the elections 40 years ago, then I’m sure that you’ll like these tees.

The site design is pretty sweet looking, too, so you should check it out. They went all out with the presidential theme. Retro Campaigns has some quotes by each candidate, and some short bio information, so if you don’t know a lot the candidates, you can find out a little bit about them before you buy. The t-shirts I checked out were about $20 each.
