Did alot of running around today, but i thought i would give yall a sneak peek and design inspiration of the new shirt we have coming out
This is 1 of 6 colors we have coming out in the dobale/niceguys obama " o-team" shirt. Now before some of you start acting critical because it's an obama shirt, let me explain why. First during the elections everyone was cashing in the obama hype, i stayed out of it even though i knew it was easy money, but after the elections i came up with a crazy idea to come up with mine
The 'o-team' shirt is a special shirt we decided to come out with. We dedicate this to his inauguration next month.
We wanted this shirt to have a "championship" jersey feel to it. I had so many inspirations in making this shirts. For 1 the colors we used which are not random colors but colors that have meaning. They will be coming out in green, red, blue, white, black and grey.red, white and blue - representing the american flag
green- representing the land, the people of america
black- representing his skin color
grey- my favorite color
I decided that if i am going to come out with an obama shirt, i will have to invest time in making the process have meaning to it rather than easily slapping an obama face to like everyone else.As you can see in the front, it has 43 white stars representing all the other presidents and 1 black star representing him. I left his face in a shield signifying royalty. I left his signature pink to give it a funky feel. The whole look of the front was really inspired by vintage black and white baseball cards that was signed. ( having fun yet- this is just the beginning...bear with me, i'm almost done)
vintage signed baseball cards. I gave obama a grainy look to make it look like an old vintage card.
Now the back of the shirt. It was inspired by championship football and baseball jerseys. 44 representing his title.
This is my favorite part of the shirt. The clean linework and the inspiration behind it. If you look at superbowl jerseys like the pic below. They always add something extra to it. I also added the "niceguyslook" authentic tag to it. That was inspired by alot of authentic tags jerseys had like cooperstown. I wanted to make sure that this looked like a championship jersey because of his victory. So this shirt is not only good for his inauguration, It can be worn all through his term and even for a lifetime to remember his historic victory against all odds.
superbowl football jersey. You can see some of the similarities. I hope you are as excited as i am for the release of these shirts. I wish i could post more pics of the other colors but i will on saturday.
The shirts will be coming out this weekend and will be sold at the sneaker summit this sunday at club meridian with all other dobale shirts. Stay tuned for more updates. I will post some more this weekend
