Ok, geography buffs, what city in Japan shares a name with a US presidential candidate? If you said Ronpouru (Ron Paul) you’d be wrong.

But the city of Obama in Fukui Prefecture has been following the race closely and rooting for Barack Obama and the notoriety that would come to the city, should their unwitting namesake be elected.

So how could we resist making our own Obama-on-Japanese t-shirts? We offer them in three styles;

• Bold katakana — which is usually used for foreign names
• The kanji as used in the city’s name,
• “Obama - not just a city in Japan.”

We think these are tons of fun, as well as making a statement.

Congrats to Kathy of Austin, TX, who won a groovy Kitty & Crossbones t-shirt from us. Stay tuned for upcoming give-aways!

It was great day to be selling at a festival! Perfect weather, excellent DJ mix, free food, giant balloons, lots of color and nice people. Kudos to the City of West Hollywood for this first-year event.

Rotem Gear went “commando” this time — no walls …
Lots of pavement, lots of color

It was just begging to be said so we put it on a bunch of stuff.

Mystified? Ramat Gan is a city just outside of Tel-Aviv, Israel, and an old haunt of ours. :Nostalgia:
