Oaklandish "roots" logo

A few years ago Oaklandish began with a simple idea: design a logo that would celebrate the history and culture of Oakland.  But the 'œroots' logo became so popular it set off a domino effect and now there is a clothing company, an awesome website, a farmers’ market rig, and lot’s of great community projects.  Now Oaklandish is holding their 1^st Annual T-Shirt Design Contest.  Here’s the scoop (read the site for the fine print):

$250 Grand Prize (plus a stack of shirts with your design)
2nd Prize: 1 Oaklandish hoody & 1 Oaklandish T-shirt of your choice
3rd Prize, Two Oaklandish T-shirts of your choice
