Historic American Senator Ted Kennedy passed away yesterday. Kennedy had served Massachusetts in the Senate for 47 years. He was “one of the historic lions of the US Senate“. Kennedy had been through a lot in his half-a-decade as senator. In the first decade of his service he witnessed both his brothers get assassinated. When he looked on his way to a Presidential nomination in 1972 he suffered the famous Chappaquiddick incident at the end of the 60s, in which he fled the scene of an accident and his aspirations for President took a huge hit.

After a turbulent first decade Kennedy settled in to serve four more decades in the Senate. He was a proponent of single-payer health insurance in the 70s. He ran for President in 1980 but lost the nomination to incumbent Jimmy Carter. In his concession speech he famously said “For all those whose cares have been our concern, the work goes on, the cause endures, the hope still lives, and the dream shall never die”. Kennedy is best known recently for teaming up with George W. Bush to pass the No Child Left Behind Act.

We designed this shirt in memory for Kennedy’s life and career. We used part of the quote from his famous concession speech as the design for the shirt. If you were a Ted Kennedy fan and want to remember his life and career, you can get the t-shirt here.

Monday . . . the most dreaded day of the week. Monday has a bad reputation because it starts the work week. After a nice weekend off most everyone returns to work on Monday. Even if one likes their job there is still a good chance they are not looking forward to starting their work week. Since it takes us about a day to adjust to the work schedule we usually go through Monday in somewhat of a fog. Monday is also disliked because it is the first of the five day work week, a reminder that your weekend just ended and it isn’t coming back soon.

Poor Monday, what did it ever do to deserve this reputation? Everyone loves Friday, Sunday has football, Saturday is the premier day of the weekend, even Wednesday has a cool nick name, “hump day”. What does Monday get? The title of worst and most dreaded day of the week. The movie Office Space put it best, “looks like someone has a case of the Mondays”. We aren’t the biggest fan of Monday’s either, so we decided to design a shirt to satire people’s feelings of the day. You can get the shirt here.

He’s baaaaaaack. In a move that probably doesn’t shock anyone, Brett Favre returned from what feels like his tenth retirement to sign with the Minnesota Vikings. The Brett Favre saga has been ongoing in the NFL for the last four years. It started as a simple will he or won’t he retire from the Green Bay Packers. In the summer of 2008 the Packers didn’t want him back and Favre forced a trade to the New York Jets. After a subpar season with the Jets Favre decided to retire again, only to leave the door open to coming out of retirement and playing with the Vikings. After an off-season of rumor, Brett Favre decided he was done with football and retired. That lasted about two weeks until today, when Favre came out of retirement to sign with the Minnesota Vikings.

This is obviously the perfect opportunity to make a t-shirt. We went with a simple sports looking shirt with the city name and number on the front, but the back of the jersey (pictured) states “He Is Back” instead of saying his name. An interesting play on the situation. Whether you love him for hate him, there is a Brett Favre t-shirt for you. Get yours here.
