Split’s citizens have gone mad over their new mayor. The are proving this with a shirt portraying him as Che Guevara, which are a hit.

SPLIT, CROATIA - T-shirts with the face of Zeljko Kerum, the new mayor of Split, have appeared on the streets of Split. The t-shirts show Kerum (or Ke Rum as they write) in a similar pose to Che Guevara, reports 24 sata.

After Kerum mania took over Split, and the citizens called the new mayor Zeki Guevara, Kresimir Vibor Jelicic came across the idea of making shirts that link the famous revolutionist with the former entrepreneur. Bozidar Katic, an artist from Zagreb, implemented the idea into reality.

The shirts have become a real hit and have nearly sold out. The price is 150 kuna.
