Jesse Jackson for President 1988 Vintage Men's T-Shirt

Design Description The 1988 presidential race marked Jesse Jackson’s second run for the White House—and this time, he arrived as a far more formidable contender. Building on the momentum of his 1984 campaign, Jackson entered the race better funded, better organized, and armed with a growing national coalition. While many skeptics dismissed his chances, he stunned observers by more than doubling his previous delegate count, leading some commentators to dub 1988 “the Year of Jackson.” Jackson battled all the way to the final primaries, including California, ultimately finishing second in delegates to nominee Michael Dukakis. Along the way, he outpaced a crowded Democratic field that included future political heavyweights such as Al Gore and Joe Biden, proving his campaign was a transformative force in modern American politics.

Screen colors may vary due to differences in screens. Due to the natural nature of cotton, whites may appear off-white rather than bright white. Size Chart Not sure what size is your best fit? We recommend taking one of your current t-shirts, laying it flat and measuring it. The measurements in the chart below are taken with the shirt laying on a flat surface. To get the length, measure from the high shoulder point down to the bottom of the shirt. To get the width, measure approximately 1-inch below the armhole, across the chest, from seam to seam. While our tees are all made using premium, pre-shrunk, ring-spun cotton, there can be some shrinkage depending on your personal wash and dry cycles. With that said, if you’re on the fence, we always suggest going up a size. All sizes are provided in inches! Please note that variations in sizing of up to 1.5 inches are possible.Product Code: PSN-MMMXXX-1966
