Announcing the latest Store Adore deal: Store Adore Shoppers Save 20% at Barackawear.

Excitement about this 2008 presidential election reached a fever pitch even before the primary season, saturating the national consciousness the way only AAA-list celebrity doings—think Angie & Brad—had in the past. Inspired by the magnetic candidate Barack Obama, entertainment industry veterans (and brother-sister team) Brandon and Lori Broussard launched Barackawear in 2007 to supply established and would-be B-Rock supporters with awesome gear worthy of their political fervor. Printed on supersoft, well-fitting American Apparel hoodies and tees, the Broussards’ distinctive Barack-The-Vote logo is fresh and stylish, evoking the familiar (but unrelated) MTV slogan from the ’90s. Celebs from will.i.am to Stevie Wonder rock the Barackawear logo, available on hats, lapel pins, and garments for people of all ages and sizes—including preggers gals, tiny tots and pooches. Get the goods up until the election in November, and note that 25 percent of all proceeds go straight to the Obama campaign.

We Adore: With this SO HOOD HOODIE (available in pink and black, regularly $40, Store Adore price $32), the 2008 election can get a whole lot fashionable. Why slap a bumper sticker on your car when you can head to a debate watching party in one of these?

We Adore: It’s never too early to start supporting your candidate. Barackwear tees come in tots sizes too (regularly $16, Store Adore price $12.80).
