Rolling Stone Obama Inauguration T-Shirt

Just head over to Cafepress and you can quickly see that they are promoting a limited edition Rolling Stone Collection Obama Inauguration t-shirt which is being sold in the Rock the Vote Cafepress store.  It’s a pretty nice shirt with a slick design. Unlike most Cafepress designs this is not available on a host of items from mugs to clocks to hoodies. It is only available on a women’s gray tee and a men’s gray tee. Also unlike the other items for sale at Cafepress the print area is very high on the shirt. It almost touches the neck. There is also a printed tag inside the back of the tee which you can see below.

I do like those printed tags. Another thing to notice is the price tag. It is only $15.  The base price for a dark gray tee like this for regular shopkeepers at Cafepress is $18.99. I think you could add another $2 for the back print too. So, for a Cafepress t-shirt this is great value.

They are also offering a free Inauguration Cap for everybody who purchases one of these t-shirts while also spending $50 or more. Unfortunately it is not very clear whether you have to purchase $50 worth of Inauguration tees, or perhaps from the Rock the Vote store, or maybe even just from Cafepress. If you purchase one let us know how it went. Below are conditions for the free cap which looks more like a hat.

*Free Inauguration Cap with purchase of the Rolling Stone Commemorative T-shirt and an order of $50 or more, excluding shipping charges and applicable sales tax. Limit one per qualifying order while supplies last. No coupon code required. This offer may change, be modified or cancelled at anytime without notice. Free Inauguration Cap cannot be returned for credit, redeemed for cash or exchanged.

Cafepress T-Shirt Contest

Cafepress have a really great contest (read: great prizes) at the moment. The challenge is to create a design about what you are voting for. I hope you read that correctly before continuing as the design is what you are voting for not who you are voting for. This is an important distinction as designs featuring candidates don’t qualify.

The Grand  Prize includes:

• Inauguration Party Tickets
• Travel Accommodations
• Rock the Vote Gear
• CafePress Gift Certificate (Estimated value $3,600)

I’m not American but if Barack Obama were to win I would surely love to attend that inauguration party. And $3,600 of Cafepress gear. Of course cash would be better but that would buy a hell of a  lot of t-shirts. The second and third place prizes are also pretty generous.

As with all Cafepress contests you have to be a resident of the US and in this situation I can see why that’s fair. The contest is in association with Rock the Vote and you can find fine details on Cafepress.com.
