HAVEN, a shelter for victims of domestic violence and Rochester, Michigan-based Rainbow Connection,Īn organization dedicated to fulfilling wishes of children with life-threatening illnesses. ^ Also at the Ford Field concert, Kid Rock announced a $25,000 donation each to Detroit-basedĬOTS [[Coalition on Temporary Shelter) Detroit’s Capuchin Soup Kitchen Pontiac, Michigan-based ^ During a concert at Detroit’s Ford Field in January, Kid Rock received the Spirit of DetroitĪward, an honor presented by the Detroit City Council to a person, event or organization for outstandingĪchievement or service to the citizens of Detroit. This was also the fact that University of Detroit t-shirts were some of the best selling apparel along with the USC, UCLA and big name schools in college sales because of the word "Detroit" on the apparel.Īs far as Kid Rock's heart not being in the right place, he sure does help out. Also, I'm willing to bet that most of the people wearing these shirts are living outside of the "city limits" There is absolutely nothing wrong with this. "Made in Detroit" to me is a brand for the people who live in the Metro Detroit area, who are proud of where they come from and are willing to show their pride by wearing these shirts. Say what you will about Kid, his heart is in the right place, and he has employed a number of people in the region doing various things including the brewing operation. THAT is much more relevant than a T-Shirt that has a logo advertising a general attitude/idea and is much more relevant since Detroit is the MOTOR CITY and has never claimed to be some sort of textile or garment industry stronghold. NO, because it's the message, the idea, the frame of mind that we're talking about. Nothing but a manufacturing facility for a portion of one or two models the company makes. Of course a shirt with a screened "Made In Detroit" logo is not the official manufacturing stamp for the actual shirt! What would the message be? This cheap cotton shirt was MADE IN DETROIT! YEAH!Īs I'm thinking about how silly this is, do we have a thread started or a news article that analyzes the Imported from Detroit slogan? Not even the GD Chrysler HQ is in the city. I couldn't beleive they actually wasted an article on this.
