I own a screenprinting/embroidery company in AZ. NO WE DIDN’T PRINT THOSE. But I know the shop that did. A friend owns it. The work was done here in Arizona. They are a contract screenprinter which means that they simply print the art supplied on the shirts supplied and have nothing to do with the use of the items. People trying to track them down are barking up the wrong tree, all you will find is a contract shop that specializes in what we call “hot markets” - Diamondbacks win the World Series and you want 50,000 shirts to give out at the victory parade 12 hours later, they can do it lots of big automatic presses and 24 hour production. The real rat in this story this Los Angeles company with the “no comment”. Who paid for these and whose idea was it? I do work for college bookstores and this is not a college bookstore kind of job. They don’t have a dime to spare and coming up with $60k on two days notice is not within their power.
That's all I want to know. I don't care who did the work, I want to know where the money came from. As to whose idea it was, I really don't think it was the White House, but it took a real idiot to go with this t-shirt idea.
ok....so if the issue isn’t on the end of getting the shirts printed, shipped and distributed, the problem lies in where the money or donation came from. I’m guessing that there wasn’t time for the school to go through the proper requisition procedures and that the shirts were donated by someone and simply distributed by the college.
