Miami International Airport x Britto = Unfortunate

The problem with allowing an artist (using the term loosely) to design Airport staff uniforms is that any one that would actually accept the job probably shouldn't be allowed to do it. Don't get me wrong, there are tons of artists and designers who would have divine visions for such a project I'm sure, but local politicians probably couldn't name (or agree on) one of them. Of course they're going to go after big name commercial artists, and the ones that could actually produce something tasteful are holding out for a Louis Vuitton bag deal.

This is all besides the point though. These shirts didn't come about as a way to paint Miami as a artistic city, but from the continued branding of the city that some how involves Britto in all his tackiness. Note to Miami leaders: Disney World isn't an actual city, stop trying to pattern the town after it.

As a side note, if we really wanted something so clashy wouldn't it be cute to have M.I.A. design the MIA uniforms?
