Yes it may be hip to wear your favorite band's tee, but it's that much cooler when a part of the proceeds from that shirt go toward a worthwhile cause. The American Apparel Yellow Bird Project brings many well-known indie bands together to design their own tops, with the profit going to many good charities including the AIDS Society and Mercy Corp.
The American Apparel Yellow Bird Project allows bands to not only create any image they would like to put on the shirt, it also lets them choose which charity they would like the money from their shirt to go to.
