The T-shirts and buttons sporting the name of a political candidate usually disappear after an election. Not so with Barack Obama T-shirts.

The forty-fourth president-elect is inspiring professional and amateur designers to come up with triumphant, respectful, and funny T-shirts that mark the historic election of the first African-American president in the U.S.

Find Barack Obama shirts, buttons, mugs, and all sorts of Obama “swag” at online retailers. Following is a list of some of the most clever, or at least “interesting,” Obama tees on the Web.

“Obama is a Lefty” T-Shirt

Celebrating Barack Obama’s hand dominance, not necessarily his political inclinations, is this straightforward T-shirt from Leftyslefthanded.com (see photo below). Lefty’s store for left-handed people on Pier 39 in San Francisco sells this silver-on-black tee through its website. Price: $19.95 for small through X-large (XX-large, add $1). Shipping varies.

“Yes We Did!” Obama T-Shirt

Barack Obama’s campaign slogan, “Yes We Can!” turned to a triumphant “Yes We Did!” on election night 2008. The T-shirts at Cafepress.com reflect that change in a number of designs, such as the shirt pictured below that memorializes Nov. 4 as the date the country elected its first African-American president. Obama’s “hope” red, white, and blue graphic also graces the tee. Price for a cotton fitted tee in small, medium, large, X-large is $18.99 (XX-large is $3 more). Shipping starts at $5.

A simple “Hope Won” tee stands out at SuperObama.com. The short-sleeved white T-shirt captures the winning sentiment by using the campaign’s “hope symbol” in place of the “o” in “Hope.” Price: $20.99 for small through X-large; 2X through 4X, add $3. Shipping is $5.

“This Land is Your Land” Obama T-Shirt

Take the immortal words of Woody Guthrie, folk singer and champion of the common man, and pair it with the first African-American U.S. president, and you have a pretty powerful T-shirt. That’s just what the Victorystore.com did with its T-shirt framing President-Elect Obama against an outline of the United States and the words “This land is your land, this land is my land. . . “ from Guthrie’s 1940 song. Unit pricing gives discounts for larger orders: 1/$13.95, 2/$22.00, 6/$60.00, 12/$108.00, 24/$180.00. Shipping varies.
