“Caucasians” Shirt – Flipping the Script, Demanding Introspection.
This shirt is a direct, ingenious parody of the controversial Guardians Chief Wahoo logo and team name. It features the word “Caucasians” in a script reminiscent of the former team’s uniform. Below it, a caricature strikingly similar to Chief Wahoo is depicted, but with paler skin. The dollar sign is a pointed critique of the commercial exploitation derived from offensive caricatures.
The shirt achieved widespread recognition in 2016 when ESPN host Bomani Jones wore it on “Mike & Mike”. His deliberate choice sparked immediate and widespread debate across social media and news outlets. Despite requests from ESPN to cover it up, Jones made his point, and the shirt became an iconic symbol of social commentary.
