At first glance, the mention of "indie rock" and "yellow bird" in the same sentence might make you wonder if the Shins are making an appearance on Sesame Street, but the truth is actually much cooler. Yellow Bird Project T-Shirts ($25) are soft American Apparel tees adorned with unique designs by some of the biggest names in indie rock — including the aforementioned Shins, Grizzly Bear, Bon Iver, The National, and Au Revoir Simone — with the proceeds benefitting a bevy of different charities, such as St. Jude's Children's Research, AIDS society, and Mercy Corp, each chosen by the band themselves.
