Racing T Shirts

[BTExpress]

MINDLESS QUESTION OF THE DAY: How many racing T shirts do you own? Do you buy driver's shirts? Event or Track shirts or do you buy chassis manufacturer shirts? Personally I have a few of each. It is pretty sad when my wife tells me I can't buy any new ones until I get rid of a few. She was right, I looked in my drawer and I had 18....Some I am embarrassed to say were over 10 years old......needless to say, my rag pile in the garage now has a few more new additions.

[Pennsboro23]

I probably have 8-10. All of them are driver shirts.

[MotoMatt]

I have a bunch, most don't get put on much since I don't hang out with many race fans or attend many races anymore. My wife is going to make me a Tshirt quilt out of them some day.

I think I have 3 Rocket shirts, 3 Josh Richards shirts, 2 Josh Richards hoodies and a Gregg Satterlee shirt, a Matt Cosner shirt, an Eric Wells shirt, a Brian Monteith shirt, and a Jeremy Keller hoodie. Next on the list (World Finals) I want a B.Shepp shirt, A Moyer Jr. shirt, a Tyler Erb shirt and an XR1 Hoodie.

Thanks,
Jeff.

[jlacey]

Mostly driver shirts, a couple each for Roberts, Ferguson, JD, Madden and Tmac. Atleast 1 Feger, Eckert, Randy Weaver, Pierce, Shirley, probably a few others im forgetting. Tracks i think just an Eldora shirt, probably have old Potomac shirts somewhere. Couple event shirts from Winchester, Potomac and old Pennsboro races. A Longhorn tee and a Rocket hoodie. Think i even have an old Bloomquist beanie somewhere

[Barbecueboy]

Couldn't even begin to say.( would guess around 60/70 shirts, 15/20 hoodies)..........some of my driver favorites are my Matt Miller ups brown gunslinger, old beat up Ed gibbons, and Jeff leeka2008 mod championship.

True story and it's totally random......I found a red longhorn crew shirt at the local goodwill one year that fit me ......turns out a guy that lived in my area drove the hauler for a short period somewhere in those early longhorn days and apparently he didn't think much of the chassis either at that time and shipped her off to the goodwill at some point.

Still have it and break it out every now and then just for kicks............red not my favorite color though.

[pierceFAN]

I have over 100 going back to 1989

[GRT24]

Most of mine are series or product shirts. I have quite a few product hats. I probably have well over 50 shirts from over the years. Most of them are stained red from the ga clay. I have old Georgia bad boys shirt that probably my favorite.

[jlacey]

If we're including products/sponsors then from the last 2 Outlaw shows i attended i think we got 5 or 6 Craftsman hats. They attack you with those things right when you come thru the gates!

[HoosierDirtFan]

I Have to many to count. A bunch of drivers
Late Models, Modifieds, Sprints, tracks/Race event Shirt, & Series Shirts.

I do it mostly to show support towards all drivers and thanking them for putting another car on the track and show my appreciation.

I CHALLENGE YOU ALL TO GO INTO YOU CLOSET AND NAME THEM ALL!
I will here in a little bit.

My next shirts will likely be Shannon Babb & Bobby Pierce shirt.

[RiffRaf67]

My entire wardrobe is racing shirts. My closet is plumb full. Shirts and hoodys both. I have boxes (and boxes) of the old ones. I have piles of them in the basement. I have multiple categories for my wardrobe:

Active: In my Closet, worn on a rotating basis daily.
Semi-Active: In my Closet, favorites that are worn on special occassions; I break these out for big events.
Garage-Active, In the basement, also in the garage, used to get dirty in. Usually coffee, tomato sauce or ketchup will relegate an Active status shirt into Garage-Active status.
Semi-Retired, Piles in my basement. These include old favorites that I just cant stop wearing, typically on weekends or on travel dates to places the shirt might be relevant at. Also a pile of old Ohio speedweek shirts (the past 2 years are in Active) that I take with me and wear at Nationals in Iowa.
Retired: In boxes in the guest room. In boxes in my closet. In boxes....

I have 4 late model driver shirts on my to aquire list: Devin Moran, Doug Drown, Tyler Carpenter and Delmas Conley.
Late model % is probably 33% of the total, sprint cars would be the other 33% and event shirts the final 1/3...
For what its worth...

[BTExpress]

I would be curious to see what an average DLM or sprint car driver makes a year on apparel sales?. I guess most shirts sell between $20 or $25 now with a few drivers creeping toward the $30 range. I find myself looking for bargains ( last year's shirts ) when the national touring series come to town or at a bigger event. I know shirt sales help some of these teams stay on the road....it is big business now.

Here's a old link to a thread similar to this. I went through and updated my shirt list...it's still growing. I haven't really changed in size any, so 90% of these shirts on this list still fit. There are a few that got turned into sleeveless shirts too.

[a25rjr]

I mainly have EPJ, Bloomer, and Richards shirts. I get a lot of product shirts from ordering parts.

[smith19]

$30 for a t shirt is b.s...........

[Krooser]

Bought a Fairbury Tee this year... the last one I bought was a Sleepy Tripp tee sometime in the 80's I guess. But I still have several dozen unsold tee's from my last hot rod show if you need one.

[BTExpress]

"SLEEPY TRIP".....now that is a name from the past!!!!!

[Krooser]

Yes it is...

I just remembered I still have my white, short sleeve, button drivers shirt from 1970! Wore those in leu of a Nomex suit...

[25 Jay 53]

I figure I have 50 or 60. It's a mixture, drivers shirts such as Ray Cook (have about 20 of his), Shannon Babb, Van Wormer, Bobby Pierce, EPJ. And many event shirts, the Million, 8 or 9 World 100 shirts, several Show Me 100 shirts and World FINALS and North South 100.

Not many posters cannot say their favorite shirt wasn't a Arizona sport shirt. I remember going to Indy and looking in their 5 dollar bins for "school shirts" . I loved getting drivers like booper bare and races like the pittsburger 100. Those were the days. Maybe I'm showing age.

[D. Tidrow]

just bought 3 that are now favorites that are not arizonaThread went over your mongloid head. Try to keep up.

[old fan]

2 of the my new favorite shirts came from r @r graphics the anti bloomer / owens shirt

[bayou tuff]

I have over 300 tee's dating back to 1981.

[SLIDING SIDEWAYS]

I got some bloomer shirts. Going to change oil and grease truck w it.

I wish i still had the shirt but 1 of my favorites ever was an Arizona shirt with Boggs, Chupp and i think Bloomer was the 3rd driver (could be mistaken im drawing a blank) im possitive of the 1st 2 drivers but I beleive it was the 3 Hawkeye Trucking drivers at the time. Was around 95-97, got it at the DTWC at Pennsboro

Might have been Ronnie Johnson instead of Bloomer. Minds a lil hazy 20 years later

[RiffRaf67]

Here's another question for you all, Re: Your racing wardrobe:

If you add them all up, which driver is mentioned the most times on your shirts?
If you dont have any event shirts, then this is a pretty easy answer.
However, a driver's name is liable to be listed multiple times on an event shirt as a past winner....
Like it or not, you're probably sporting someone's name on your shirts that you arent even fond of!

Mine is Steve Kinser. Not necessarily a fan, I was among those saying "Anyone but Kinser" before it became
"Anyone but Schatz". I have at least 1 Kings Royal shirt from every year since 2002 and 1 Knoxville Nationals shirt from every year since 2007 (some years I come back with 3 or 4 Nationals event shirts)
Add it all up and the King is the name that I "promote" most often.

[jlacey]

Looking at my Winchester 200 shirt with the list of winners theres only 1 from 2010 that i cant stand. Most everyone knows who

[BTExpress]

But Jlacey......I just purchased my VERY FIRST Josh Richards shirt at Selinsgrove a few weeks ago!!!!!!!!!

[jlacey]

I knew you would definitely know who i was talking about lol

[jlacey]

Im expecting to hear something about it from Jeff too

Mine would be EPJ........second most driver shirts would probably be Jackie Boggs with 4 or 5, then after that would probably be bloomer with 3 and bshepp with 3.

[Barbecueboy]

And believe it or not, I own an old rocket chassis shirt...........I wear it when I'm on a long cook and want to remind myself to go low and slow.

Bought it off a close out rack at some track about 10 years ago.......it's actually a good looking shirt,minus the cooking stains.

RJ got one too.

[old fan]

I have an odd one, the 2nd 13 th annual jackson 100

[HoosierDirtFan]

Alright since this thread is about T-Shirts, Longsleeve, Hoodies, ect...
What might the next couple of driver / track / events shirts you might be looking to buy?

My next few will likely be: Shannon Babb, Bobby Pierce, Earl Pearsn Jr., Josh Richards, & Hartford Speedway.

There is one shirt I world like to see made. I like the Illinois Bad Boys shirt, but I think it would be cool to see an Indiana Legends shirt made with maybe 5/7 drivers on it: CJ Rayburn, Russ Petro, Tom Helfrich, Jim Curry, John Gill, & maybe two other drivers on it.

[old fan]

T shirts and mostly events or tracks

[BTExpress]

I went through a period of time of not buying driver's shirts because of driver's switching teams making my $20 or $25 purchase obsolete. I then got on a kick buying mostly track shirts and a few event shirts with the thinking I could get years out of wearing them. This year I actually purchased three new driver's shirts: Josh Richards, Greg Hodnett and Gregg Satterlee, so I guess I have come full circle.

[Barbecueboy]

Unlike a few, I've been shopping off the adult rack for a while now🤘

You better

[speedemon3b]

Like most people I think I have a problem. From the last 2 weeks eldora and Knoxville my haul was
30 tees
1 hoodie
4 hats
17 die cast

That is some SERIOUS cash outlay......

[speedemon3b]

All my vacations every year revolve around racing(10 days at Knoxville in August and world 100/knoxville lm nationals). Save up the over time throughout the year to spend. Got a good deal on the die casts so it wasn't as bad as it may sound.

[Bubstr]

T shirts have a way of getting to you. First they are logical, You need some kind of T shirt right, why not make a statement. Then they are sexual, Ain't I pretty? You can sleep with me. I think the T shirt vendors have a unfair advantage over the consumer. Be on the alert for bi-sexual Tee Shirts, They are the ones that come home with you and the better half uses them for a nightie.

[Barbecueboy]

Well that was creepy........

2. Ummmmm.....bi-sexual and better half....are you trying to tell us something, Bubster? :)

[Bubstr]

I wear a xxxl shirt and the wife and daughter used to borrow them. They where like a big cotton blankets for them.

Before you say something. I am a old fat man, but my chest and shoulders, is still 4 inches bigger than my waist. Used to be 20, but them days are never coming around again.

Way too much time on your hands

[JimBo]

I have probably 20 or so racing shirts in the closet, it consist of Late Model drivers, events, and my garage is full of rags that are worn out racing shirts.

[71PRPFan]

I'm a cheap guy ive got 2 PRP shirts, one company shirt I won from trivia, a McGuire and Boggs hoodie, 2 Jackie shirts and My first shirt I ever bought was JEEP at the 2010 World

I'd like to buy more but at 20-25$ I don't need one that bad

[starrette fan]

guess I'm a dirt late model junky . I`ve been collecting late model shirts since the mid 80`s . drivers and events . last time I counted I had almost 900 and that was two years ago. I`m sure I'm over 1000 now . and I also have collected the 1/24th die cast late models since they started making them . Action and ADC . have over 500 of them . its basically all I do...LOVE IT !!
