Waffles Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Apologies in advance for bringing politics into the Sports Logos section, but the marketing juggernaut that was/is/will be the Barack Obama campaign/transition/administration has made its move into sports uniforms at the official Inaugural Collectibles store:http://pic2009.inauguralcollectibles.com/o...duct/J1009.htmlI personally can't wait for them to come out with a throwback to his high school uniform: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Throwback Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 That's it! I'd expect something more completely amazing from the Obama team. This is bland! The campaign style scheme was- let's face it- completely awesome. ~?~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BallWonk Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 That's it! I'd expect something more completely amazing from the Obama team. This is bland! The campaign style scheme was- let's face it- completely awesome.Agreed. And, in the spirit of bipartisanship, it's worth remembering that the McCain campaign also had the best graphics of any Republican candidate. An unusual victory for the best logos in each party, and then for the better logo in the general election. Most years, there's one candidate with outstanding logos, but of course he only has outstanding logos because he doesn't have enough top political advisors around to tell him not to do anything as risky as being original or interesting or creative, so he flames out of the race before the votes are counted in Concord. And, yeah, that's a pretty weak basketball jersey, stylish Obama campaign or no. Better, in its simplicity, than most actual NBA jerseys, but much too plain.

Old School Fool Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 a throwback high school obama jersey would be awesome. Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spyboy1 Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 I can see where they were going with it, but some white stars down the sides or a red stripe on the sides and white stars across the bottom would have made that a lot cooler looking.

Burmy Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 If that high school started selling these and licensing them to the market, they would probably never have to do another fundraiser again!I do hear that he wants to put an indoor basketball court in the White House...I do admit that would be pretty cool and could be a huge motivator for me to start a presidential campaign in 2024!Just hope they don't gut up the bowling alley to do it, though...

sc49erfan15 Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 I now have the urge to make basketball concepts for each president, in period-style.Anyone before Chester A.

incrediballer Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 That famous 'O' was the best I've seen in political campaigns, why not use them in a sports uniform. That thing there is too simple and banal. LakeshowFight On!Carpe DiemNo Fear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
