Congresswoman DeGette (CO) buys congressional members matching shirts for Convention...

[snowbear]

Boy, I dunno...........

I'd probably take it home as a souvenir, but I'm not sure I'd actually wear it there..

Congresswoman Diana DeGette has purchased more than 300 button down shirts with the DNC logo for the convention. If you're lucky enough to be in Denver during the Convention and you see one of these, chances are a member of the House of Representatives will be wearing it.



"This is another way to show off Denver and the Rocky Mountain West to her colleagues who are coming in (for the DNC)," said Kristofer Eisenla, DeGette's press secretary. "She was very happy to support a local business, and she wanted to give her colleagues a memento to remember the convention that was held in her Congressional district."

10. I think they're supposed to represent Colorado Mountains?

Maybe?..

Seeing as they'll be at the Pepsi Center, home of the Colorado Avalanche, they should've gone with something that looked more like them..

9. With several people wearing it, it'll be cute

My only concern is that it looks pretty warm. If I were a Rep, I would wear a cooler top underneath and keep the button down opened.

Damn, that is one ugly shirt.
