The Big Shoulders swim, held in Chicago Sept 6th. Offered the new look in USMS sanctioned swims, political partianship. For a link to the discussion go here http:/.../showthread.php This is the same organization that is running next years Nationals. USMS, you need to address this.
In some running races now they give you the option of paying less to enter if you don't want the shirt. I like that!
the 1900m OW race in Copenhagen, Denmark does that too. one fee for a t-shirt and a lower fee without a t-shirt.
I don't think I have ever seen a swimming shirt with a person on it, politician or not. usually they are buildings of the host city, a cartoon swimmer, or some cartoon animal.
had I been given the Obama t-shirt, I think I would have said no thanks or I would taken it home and put it in a box with the rest of my swimming souvenirs.
