Ideas for Dayton Requested Tracker Shirts

Written by Derek Brigham on 02 September 2010.

I just got a press release form Mark Drake of the MNGOP. It's an open letter asking for submissisons for designs of the Mark Dayton requested MNGOP tracker shirts. I have done a few hundred shirts in my time, sounds like fun. Better check over the details first.

Following a tremendous public response to the unveiling of the Republican Party of Minnesota’s tracker uniforms at the Minnesota State Fair, Party Chairman Tony Sutton today announced that the Party will be holding a contest to allow Minnesotans a chance to design their very own tracker uniform for September 6, 2010, the Fair’s final day.

"As our great trackers made clear at the start of the Great Minnesota Together, Mark Dayton was named one of America’s worst senators by Time, and he is committed to raising taxes on hard-working Minnesotans.  But there are other aspects of his failed 30-year political career which certainly merit their own t-shirt.  Who can forget his bizarre and panicky decision to shut down his Senate office over a non-existent terrorist threat or his self grading of his own U.S. Senate accomplishments as an “F”?  Due to popular demand, I’m proud to announce that the Party will be a holding a one-time only tracker uniform contest where Minnesotans can submit their own ideas of what they would see our highly capable trackers wear as uniforms,” said Republican Party of Minnesota Chairman Tony Sutton.

“Mark Dayton asked us to provide our trackers with clothing identification and we were happy to comply.  Now we’re asking Minnesotans to come up with what they think our trackers’ uniforms should look like.  Given Dayton’s disastrous record, I’m sure there will no shortage of great ideas,” Republican Party of Minnesota Deputy Chairman Michael Brodkorb said.

The Party’s trackers will unveil their uniforms at 9:00 AM on Monday, September 6, 2010, the final day of the Great Minnesota Get Together at the Republican Party of Minnesota’s State Fair booth located at 1702 Carnes Ave. (between WCCO Radio and Ye Old Mill).
