Michael Jackson’s death: the legend will last forever

June 25, 2009 will be marked in history as the day one of the most successful artists of all times passed away. Michael Jackson, the iconic “King of Pop”, died – apparently due to a cardiac arrest – and people around the world reacted with expressions of sadness and support for his family and children.

Thousands of fans use flowers, pictures and candles to mourn, remember and pay tribute to MJ. Even social networks on the internet are full of messages regarding his passing. Meanwhile, the autopsy to find the cause of his death was scheduled to begin in Los Angeles.

Jackson was an extremely talented dancer, singer and composer, who left an indelible mark in the world of music. “Thriller”, “Bad” and “Smooth Criminal” are just few of the many hits he produced. Not only did he win countless prizes - including 13 Grammy Awards - but also the hearts of many fans.

At Idakoos we want to send a message of condolence to his family and to his millions of supporters. The “King of Pop” has always been a legend in the history of music and the world will never forget him.

T-Shirt of the Week: “American Way”

Starting today, the Idakoos blog will have a special post called “The T-Shirt of the Week”. Every seven days, we will recommend a shirt that stands out either due to the quality of the design, because of it’s popularity or due to being perfect for celebrating a special date.

And since the American Independence Day is less than two weeks away, we want to begin with this design called “American Way”. The white-border version printed on a navy blue t-shirt is one of the best combinations you will find at Idakoos, and is a design that works great on July 4. By the way, you can customize the color of the tee and the logo, just like with every shirt at Idakoos.

Happy Fathers’ Day!

This Sunday, millions of dads will get a big hug from the most important person in their lives: their kids. It’s a really special day where we all show our love for the man who shared so many lessons with us in life, protected us all and comforted us in sad moments.

This celebration is beyond any present we could give to our dad, – at Idakoos we were able to see all the t-shirts, mugs, polo shirts and many other items our customers bought for their dads – it’s about the message of gratitude we have for all he did for us.

That’s why we want to send a huge and honest salute from this blog, to all dads in the world. Happy Father’s Day!

Peace through t-shirts?

Nuclear testing. These two sole words are pretty scary to anyone who reads the news, because they knowthat is what happened last week: North Korea performed an underground nuclear test and launched several short-ranged missiles, within their territory - actions that were rejected by the international community.

President Obama, his advisors and the authorities of many other governments are trying to solve this issue. And while they coordinate what actions to take and what sanctions North Korea might get, why not take things easier – just a little – and think of creative ways to show the world that we need peace and communication?

As everyone that has seen campaigns and rallys knows: wearing t-shirts customized with great messages are an eye catcher and probably one of the easiest ways to spread the word – any word. Great ideas could be ones with the "Not war, North Korea" or the “Peace in North Korea” designs. For those with a more dark humor, why not take a look a this “Some day, North Korea will master the world” tee. And these are just three among hundreds of designs that you will find at Idakoos. Visit the store now and support peace, too!
