David Merritt - Sharing Something Special
Filed under:
I had some incredible years playing at Michigan. And that was because of my teammates, the staff, the fans, the tradition. I'm so thankful for my Michigan experience and wanted to share a new venture I'm working on with the Michigan faithful. It's called Merit.
Merit is cause design. We create fashionable products that help disadvantaged youth get to college by donating 20% of your purchases to fund college scholarships. In addition, it's important for us to provide resources and opportunities for underserved youth to gain college admission. Therefore, we've launched FATE (Day 1 Recap), our very own education program with Detroit's Jalen Rose Leadership Academy, preparing the next generation to embrace their education and become world class citizens.
However, in order to officially launch Merit, we need the proper funding. We are in the midst of a crowdfunding campaign at http://indiegogo.com/merit. From now until December 21st, you’ll be able to grab Merit product, help us manufacture the line, and raise money for underserved youth to go to college.
Any support you can give, even if it's just a tweet, is much appreciated. Thank you so much for your time. Wherever you may go, GO BLUE!
Steve Breaston - David Merritt Collaboration

Jeff Arnold in A2.com has a nice feature covering Steve Breaston's and David Merritt's collaboration on a new I Miss You, Inc. shirt.
Merritt asked Breaston to construct an original piece that would inspire [a] unique T-Shirt design to be part of Merritt's company's summer line. Breaston [went] to work, finishing a poem he had started that focused on his hometown's [North Braddock, PA] positive aspects.
Merritt's company, I Miss You, Inc., is built on a mission of making others feel special and on community pride. When Merritt read the poem Breaston had written for the campaign, he knew he had something he would work with. More importantly, he read a piece of original poetry he knew others could relate to.
"I said I wanted something real, something about his community and once he sent it to me, I knew this was it. This was perfect," Merritt said. "It was just a perfect representation of how he felt about his community. But Steve really cares about people and that's what we try to do with IMU - really care about people. So that's what made him perfect for his - not only because he can write so well, but because he cares so much for his community."

David Merritt's Clothing Line
Filed under:
I read last summer that David Merritt had been planning on launching a clothing line in the fall, but I never kept up with it. His preliminary designs looked pretty cool. I'm into streetwear/graphic tees too and was really interested in his stuff.
Anyways, I was walking through the Union on Monday afternoon they had a booth near the bookstore selling his clothing and some jewelry I think? Anyways, anyone buy anything from him? The basic tee design looks pretty sweet and I'd love to support him.
