YOU CAN'T MISS: Nelson Mandela's Fashion Line and Seer Outfitters

This week on the Media Unbeige blog, there's a post about the fashion line launched by Nelson Mandela called 46664, which is also the name of his non-profit organization that focuses on humanitarian efforts. "When you buy a 46664 shirt, you are not just buying apparel, you are investing in a process that will help spread the legacy of Nelson Mandela by supporting the long-term sustainability 46664,” Board member Achmat Dangor said. “You will also be empowering young people in communities out there and creating a platform for global change.” I love examples like this of design being used for great causes.  The shirts look pretty cool too.

 Another great example of cool t-shirt design being put to great use is Seer Outfitters. The clothing line  is run by my favorite former Creighton basketball player and current Chicago Bull, Kyle Korver. The proceeds from the shirt go towards his Kyle Korver Foundation which among other great things helps build handicap ramps and does roof work for those who can't afford it. I think the t-shirts are awesome too. Each shirt has a theme to it. My favorite one is the "RESPECT" shirt (on the right). I wish I was better at t-shirt design. There's such a creative style to it, which is important since the design is really the only thing driving sales.
