While accepting awards at the MTV Movie Awards, Jamie Foxx walked on stage with a design that mixed Trayvon Martin and the victims of the Sandy Hook shooting. When questioned about the T-shirt, Foxx told MTV hosts Josh Horowitz and Karlie Kloss the T-shirts wasn't meant to be a political statement, but meant to honor the children. (The Blaze)
Not political? Maybe so. Maybe not. But, Foxxx is using T-shirts to their intended purpose in today's culture. He's making a statement. Its a way to be seen, and talk with someone without slapping them along side the head with your message. Others will see the T-shirt design and think about it, which was Foxx's intention. Just to keep this types of events in your mind so you don't forget about them.
That's a powerful T-shirt. You want to step it up a notch, Jamie? Sign the T-shirt, sell it, and donate the funds to a relief organization for one of both of the events you're drawing attention to.
