Who is Cherie Berry, and why is she on a T-shirt?

Cherie Berry was North Carolina's labor commissioner for two decades. Her name and signature were printed on elevator inspection certificates across the state, which made her oddly famous. The shirt plays on that.

Will people outside North Carolina get the joke?

Mostly not. The reference depends on having ridden a North Carolina elevator and noticed the certificate. Elsewhere it reads as a plain slogan tee.

For someone from North Carolina or with ties there, it is a targeted gag gift. For anyone else, the joke will miss.

What kind of shirt is it?

It is a short-sleeve T-shirt with the phrase printed on it. The appeal is the slogan, not special fabric or construction.

Can I wear it outside casual settings?

It is a novelty graphic tee, so it fits casual wear. It is not meant for dressy or work occasions.
