It makes sense that people continue to buy Obama merchandise, and it also makes sense that the price of some of McCain's merchandise has decreased. The funding raised by candidate merchandise went directly to campaign efforts. But, now that the campaigns are over, where will the money go? Such should be asked for both McCain and Obama.
The prices for good deal of Obama merchandise have increased since the election results were revealed, and many special edition t-shirts have been released at steep prices of $6o. How much change do you believe in?
Fashion mogul Vera Wang's specially designed tee (above left) is one of the many designer t-shirts featured on the Obama merchandise site. Hip-hop artist and fashion designer Pharrell Williams' tee (above right) is one of the more popular name designs. Other designers include Narciso Rodriguez and Russell Simmons.
Poor McCain can no longer sell his shirts individually; in an effort to get rid of as many as possible, they're sold in packs of 48 and 108. Who needs 48 or 108 of the losing candidate's shirts? Not only do buyers get far more t-shirts than any one person needs, but they practically have to empty their pockets for them. Look at what $383.52 can get you 48 of:
Wow.
