Retro Campaigns is a shirt company that focuses on past political campaigns and they make vintaige looking shirts. All of their designs are printed on soft American Apparel shirts. Also something interesting to note is that a potion of their proceedes are donated to Save Darfur.
Here’s the shirts they sent:

They also provide you a fact sheet with quotes from each person’s campaign and what they did in politics. For this Wilkie one, they said:
On June 20, 1943, after a violent race riot broke out in Detroit, killing 34 people, Wendell Willkie (1892 – 1944), spoke out passionately on national radio against both Democrats and Republicans for failing to address civil rights for African Americans:
The desire to deprive some of our citizens of their rights — economic, civic or political — has the same basic motivation as actuates the Fascist mind when it seeks to dominate whole peoples and nations. It is essential that we eliminate it at home as well as abroad.
The other shirt they sent us was for Teddy Kennedy:
Price: $19.99

Overall the shirts are very well printed, but keep in mind they are made to look retro, so the designs are a little faded. Obviously there was no American Apparel back when these campaigns were going on, but who cares. I’m suprised they are allowed to use these images and people’s names without getting in trouble.
