Follow me on:

Yes, the political season is upon us. And I know many of you are thinking, what's the best way for me to show my support for my candidate of choice?

Some people would go with the yard sign, or the button, or even the garish rhinestone lapel pin.

But for those of us who want a slightly more athletic vibe... or who desperately want to achieve the look of "Turtle" from Entourage, there's a new option:

The Barack Obama throwback jersey.

Yes, for the low, low price of $39.99, you too can rock the jersey of ol' number 23 from Punahou High School, known affectionately to fans as Barry O'Bomber.

The most remarkable thing about all this -- none of the McCainiacs have countered with a #22 Wasilia, Alaska High School jersey just yet.
