Che T-Shirts

i know this white dude that doesnt even say Che right...pronouncing it "Chee"

I pronounce it both ways depending on who I'm talking to. It's a matter of where you read it and how you read it. If I'm not mistaken it's actually supposed to be Ché -- Which is why it doesn't sound like "Chee." However, as normal English (at least US English) phonics would dictate, Che would more likely than not be pronounced "Chee." In fact, I'm not quit so sure why people don't type Ché more often, maybe it's cause people just don't know how to get the accent over the E. Awell.

I have 2 Che Guevara shirts... One I got from a Mexican guy at a flea market in Sacramento, where I live, and another I got from a street vendor in New York, where I go to school. The guy at the flea market knew who he was and a decent amount about him, and was also selling a lot of cool shirts of Zapata and Pancho Villa and all them... I didn't talk to the street vendor about him however... I'd rather spend an extra $5/$6 bucks on a shirt to buy it from a vendor than to buy it for less from a large conglomerate.... At least you're supporting a smaller business to advertise the cause.....

One of the ones I have has a Cuban flag behind him and has Che embroidered at the top with HOMBRE REBELDE across the bottom of the pic... it also has HASTA LA VICTORIA SIEMPRE across the back with a less cliche'd pic of him....... It's an awesome shirt

I just see.. well to me Ches face aint so important, but since I know who he was, it gives hope and strenght to see the face of a true fighter and hey, there is also few other faces that can do this trick, but Che is one of many. I dont really know, I have one shirt, but its a souvenir from "Lenin museum" here in finland. Thats it.

Funny how people are saying that most people who wear t-shirts dont know who che is when people here who think they know who che is dont actually have a clue. Fashion has not only stoled Che, the libertarian have to.

The simple fact it, Che's face is now just a part of a fasion trend unfortunatly.

Hell yeah his face is a trend. I see hip hop guys wearing che shirts all the time, and I'll go "nice shirt" and they'll think I'm hitting on them, it's sad.
There was this trendy hip hop senior in my chemistry class last year who actually made an effort to find out who che was before he excitedly told me he was gonna buy one.

Che merchandise has more benefits than anything. If a young person gets a che shirt, most of the time they'll at least try to find out who he was before they wear it so they don't look like a fool when people ask if they even know who he was. Then they'll think "if this hot guy was a communist then it can't be that bad". They won't have that stigma in their minds about it anymore.

Well you could say that communism has always been "What is that all about thing?" in my life, also I hated soviet flag quite long (im from finland and as you know we fought on the side of german in ww2), but then I approached the subject from somewhere else, there was this figure on t-shirt, flags and so on. So I decided to take a closer look and here I am, also now I "love" the soviet flag.. I finally got this report from university that "It is possible that if we would have given some land to russia which they wanted we could have saved many lives." This is just a theory but based on facts. No one knows what kind of plans Stalin had, but thats for that. Its those Che t-shirts, flags and so on, that led me towards socialism.. And I think that many others have also taken a closer look behind the t-shirt.
