An in-depth look at Kid Rock's horrible new pro-Trump merchandise
Shortly after the 2016 election, images began showing up on the Internet of Kid Rock wearing a series of pro-Trump T-shirts.
This image, and several others were, of course, photoshopped. It’s one of the hazards of wearing a plane black T-shirt with no design on it. Snopes even dedicated a page to the photo, debunking the pictures as “False.”
But this is Kid Rock we’re talking about. His online store sells a hockey jersey with his name on the front and the words “FUCKS GIVEN 00” on the back. He’s not going to pass up a fashion opportunity like this.
So the shirts have now gone from Snopes-debunked memes to actual merchandise on sale in Kid Rock’s online store. Pretty interesting considering many of the designs were already for sale on other DIY T-shirt sites. I assume the original designers have been contacted and are being properly compensated.
But Mr. Rock’s not the only one who’s into fashion. I think my own collection of 2XL T-Shirts qualifies me as enough as a style icon to take a look at the new pro-Trump offerings with a discerning eye and tell you whether or not they are worth your time.
GOD GUNS & TRUMP
You’ve heard of the G&T? Well get ready for the GG&T.
What I love about this shirt, beyond the simple black base that is a hallmark of the Kid Rock Look, is how it embraces the concept of the trinity. Three words, three concepts, three colors of the American flag (one ampersand).
And the slightly askew “Trump” lets you know that this isn’t your daddy’s president-elect. He likes to do things a little crooked, but still completely straight.
