SOULD 2008 Fall/Winter “Silence is Betrayal” Collection

October 8, 2008Uncategorizedby Eugene Kan

Since day one, SOULD has sought to tackle the very issues that have had a detrimental affect on their society. Their 2008 fall/winter collection is based on a little-known “Time to Break the Silence” speech by ground-breaking black rights activist Martin Luther King. The subjects and references are a bit of an easy target with the impending presidential elections in the US and the faltering economy, however they do offer a different medium of inciting interest on the subjects at hand. Among the retailers carrying this collection are Digital Gravel, 5&A Dime and In4mation with a full list seen at SOULD.com.

    That said I wouldn’t vote for McCain, Bush, Palin, Cheney or any of their cronies if you put a gun to my head. And I am hopeful that Obama will be able to get the ball rolling on making some progressive changes in Washington.
    But after living in D.C. for 5 years I’m too cynical to have been convinced yet. I’m still in a “lesser-of-two-evils” frame of mind, as I am in any political race with our two-party system that has allowed the parties themselves to become too powerful and corrupt.

    SOULD KEEPS IT BANGIN! SOULD party this Saturday in B-more @ The Wind Up Space w/Ninjasonik!!

    I agree with much of what SOULD just wrote, and I like the designs as well; but do you really assume Obama prefers you giving money to charitable causes instead of to his campaign? I obviously don’t know the man personally, and I hope you’re right, but that sounds like a naive assumption to me.
    I will vote for Obama, as I did in the primaries, but I’m skeptical that a champion for the downtrodden would have pushed so hard to bail out Wall Street instead of the middle-to-lower class Americans who are hurting the worst.

    “Marv”, the SOULD brand was built on the idea of inciting action and thought through awareness, which frankly, is what we think Obama will do as President (we made a little over a 100 of the VOTE tees, so we’re not getting rich off it, believe me). Plus, while many talented artists have created inspiring Obama tees using his face/body, we wanted to make a tee that was slightly less subtle in endorsement, but direct in action… after all, in 2004 only about half of 18-24 yr olds voted…we think this should be much higher. We’d like to think that this tee design will make a greater impact, than cutting Obama a $200 check.
    Plus, for the record, we give as much (or more) to charitable organizations, as anyone else our size, which we assume Obama would also prefer, over a check for his campaign. Lastly, the answer to your question about Bush is, no…he doesn’t deserve sh-t.
    “etpourtous” and “smutty”… we appreciate the props.
