UrbanProfile.com (http://www.UrbanProfile.com) announced that they have not only grown their inventory of available T-shirts to it's largest point in company history, the company also boasts that it's selection of T-shirts, specifically and solely dedicated to Black culture, is the largest of it's kind to be found anywhere.

Detroit, MI (PRWeb) February 1, 2007 -- UrbanProfile.com (http://www.UrbanProfile.com) announced that they have not only grown their inventory of available T-shirts to it's largest point in company history, the company also boasts that it's selection of T-shirts, specifically and solely dedicated to Black culture, is the largest of it's kind to be found anywhere. "I don't believe anyone will find a larger selection of T-shirts dedicated to Black History and the Black experience anywhere else. This could only be achieved through mutual cooperation with fellow T-shirt vendors and manufacturers," says Stephen Harvey, the company's creator. "Most Black t-shirt vendors operate in a vacuum of sorts; they only cater to the communities within their immediate reach. Coming together and providing our designs to the public via the Internet eliminates this vacuum."

The company began selling its own original designs in Detroit, Michigan in 1994. "I started with about a half dozen messages and designs back then," says Harvey. Now the company carries over 200+ unique designs supplied by various African American T-shirt manufacturers from around the country.

"What's most important is that people from all over the world, specifically people who otherwise would never have been able to find Black T-shirts, now has easy access to them because of our website," he said. "Many of my customers have commented that they have searched for black culture T-shirts for years, but could never find them - until now. I've shipped T-shirts to customers in all 50 states. I also have regular customers in Canada, Great Britain and France, and I most recently shipped T-shirts to customers living in Japan and Spain."

Urbanprofile.com sells everything from Malcolm X and Assata Shakur, to Richard Pryor and Marvin Gaye T-shirts, and a wealth of original designs not found elsewhere. Although the site carries over 200 designs dedicated to Black culture, Harvey hopes to double that number within the next year or two.

The site also offers:

-    A Blog where customers can read articles and leave feedback about the site

-    An opt-in mailing list which distributes a newsletter that informs visitors of new T-shirts and other developments

-    A safe, secure, and industry compliant shopping environment which is critically important in today's world where identity theft is a major concern

"Although fashion and fads come and go, either by nature or by design, Black T-shirts have always been in demand. There's simply no such thing as an out of style Frederick Douglass, Tuskegee Airmen, or Bob Marley T-shirt. This is our history, not some trend," said Harvey.

Harvey further explains: "Black History Month means more than just recognition of the contributions of Black people throughout history. It is an exercise in Black identity, and thus serves as a source of strength. Clothing may go in and out of style, but Black people don't. That's why Black T-shirts have remained popular; they represent the people, not just some fashion or fad."
