Talk:Madiba shirt

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Ideas for expansion

There is still a lot that can be written in this article. Ideas:

• The impact and reaction when Madiba first started wearing the shirts
• The popularity of the shirts in South Africa and overseas
• The (possible) effect they have had on dress codes, particularly formalwear

The biggest problem is trying to find reliable sources for this info, and not to draw inferences or analysis from a conglomerate of random articles, which would constitute original research. While there are plenty of articles that mention Mandela's wearing of the shirt in passing, I have not yet found an article on the shirt itself or on a specific reaction his wearing the shirt at say, some sort of formal occassion. Google does not bring up much of direct relevance. Perhaps better luck can be found by searching the South African news websites IOL and News24. Zunaid 13:43, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
