This rare piece of political history comes straight from the trenches of local Illinois politics. The graphic features a bold "Elect Frank S. Nocita State Representative 51st District" campaign design layered over a sharp red silhouette map of Illinois. Sourced from a high-stakes, infamously contentious March 1990 Cook County Democratic primary election in the west Chicago suburbs, this tee was custom-commissioned for campaign workers and volunteers. It is built on a striking retro white V-neck blank complete with royal blue ribbed trim and vibrant red-and-white athletic shoulder sleeve piping, delivering a standout mid-century sportswear look that doubles as an obscure piece of Americana history.
• Overall Condition: Very good vintage condition considering its age and use on the campaign trail. • Fabric: Supple, lightweight, and very comfortable with a clean white knit body. • Specific Flaws: • Slight, minor seam fraying/separating directly underneath the left armpit seam line (easily repairable or wearable as-is). • The interior size/composition tag has been cut/faded completely blank from historical wash cycles.
This permanent product page stays with the Hutton Vintage archive even after the piece sells.
