Marketing to the Nerdwestern audience

Patrick Lester Modeling the Nerdwestern T-shirt

Medill freshmen Mike Haas and Nathan Garden decided to raise money the creative way. This afternoon the pair were selling t-shirts at the arch, but not just any t-shirts.

At first glance, the unobservant might take them to be the standard college shirt: solid purple with “Northwestern” written across the chest at a slight angle.

Upon closer examination, the shirts read “Nerdwestern” as clever stab at our student body. At $10 a pop the shirts were selling quite well. Proceeds went to benefit Relay for Life.
