    Sidenote......love the pierce racing " it's more than a number" t-shirt....very cool.

    The posse shirt is a great shop rag.....speaks to its audiences juvenile mantra.

    The F word is so mainstream now, that even little girls use it to express their dislike or distaste for something or someone. Some just think its use has more impact. The F word is currently in Vogue. Most who hear it used just blow it off without concern.

    Its just a shirt. Some will make it a big deal, most won't. Care to guess how many pages this becomes? Over/Under is 5. With a 7% chance of thread deletion.

    Question

    Back in the day using vulgarity to make a statement meant that a person had the lack of intelligence to be able to think up a proper word and put a whole sentence together. Usually the people had a history of being on welfare is why they were so poorly educated. Then it became an enjoyment of persons that were big fans of rap music. Now a days it is a combination of both I believe. People that spew this filth feels like it makes them sound tuff. Like succumbing to peer pressure. Persons that feel 10 foot tall and bullet proof with a drink in their hand or chew in. Does the fact that this team is based out of the state that is the very definition of crookedness going all the back to Al Capone have anything to do with it? Would anyone venture to guess that the people that buy these items and think they are so cool may have also voted for the latest U.S. President that was from this area when he ran ?

    Funny to watch this thread unfold and folks actually making excuses for somehow this being ok considering all the former claims of dirt tracks everywhere full of 8 and 10 year olds in Bobbys t-shirts.

    It's kind of trashy but clearly it's a way to tap into the style and grace of the majority of his REAL fan base and a way to make a quick buck at eldora......not a thing in the world wrong with that.....just call it for what it is.

    Now go win the dam race Bobby.
    Someone they didn’t like made these shirts and it’d be on like Donkey Kong, but because it’s who they like, it’s awesome. Wear it, enjoy it, go for it, just don’t talk about class etc when these are the shirts you put out.

    The throwback shirt I like, my Mom just gave me a brand new Joker one that is nice, his World 100 win shirt is nice, he has some really nice ones. I just ain’t wearing one of these. And it isn’t personal, my dumb self bought a Blake Shelton shirt at his concert a few years back. It was you can kiss my country a$$ I think it says. I literally never wear it, just doesn’t feel right. Of course I swear and that, and need to improve on not swearing so much. My clothing is somewhere I’m not going to wear it. By all means go for it, just remember to practice what ya preach or wear for that matter.

    Oh, and let’s hit 10 pages, maybe 15
    Up in the air who my next “favorite” driver is. Really losing hope on Bloomer getting anywhere back to “normal”.

    I wore Steve Austin shirts as a young and dumb teen, and thought it was funny when a teacher would ask me to turn it wrong side out, and I didn't even buy the worst ones they had out at the time. As I get older, i don't find it quite as amusing. It doesn't offend me the least bit. I just prefer my racing shirts to have pics of the cars and no profanity on it.

    The bottom line is that it'll sell. Some people will see it as stupid, and some will love it. I won't be buying one.

    There are alot of people on here that like to rag on anything Bloomquist or Pierce, but if the last 2 years of Dirt Million rewards is any indication, you're in the minority

    Hope they can make it as a family team because they’re limiting their options going forward with this type reputation and branding. I selfishly hope he stays in dirt racing and I like his independent type schedule this year. But there will come a time that big Bob will want to cut back. What then?
    I hate time trials.

    I'm very concerned about the implied fan base majority getting upset because they are so young......every time someone brings up something negative about the team it's always but, but, but they have a bazillion young followers on Twitter, Facebook, etc.....they have throngs of youngsters looking up to Bobby as their racing idol, team pure as the driven snow kinda crap.

    I don't really care what they do, who they door up to do it, what the latest trailerpark tshirt is going to say or who cierra is going to knock out next.......as long as they just call it for what it is and stay away from the denial when questioned on it.

    That posse shirt should say " we ruin this sh t".

    In my opionion: The Pierce Family is trying to create some type of image for Bobby for the future. Such as Bloomquistdid with the yin-yang/skull & crossbones thing. Yes-it has made him a lot of money in apparel sales- but He didn’t use the vocabulary as the Pierce group. To each their own - they will either reap the rewards or face “some” amount of fallout. I personally don’t like the shirts- but the racing it much more entertaining when Bobby is there & he is not on my list as drivers I pull for. He just makes it exciting to watch. 🏁🏁

    Your right I for one enjoy watching him race, he's very exciting to watch for sure. It doesn't bother me about the shirts I just find it a little much. He doesn't have to create an image or persona in my opinion. I got a chance to speak to him when he was with Dunn Benson and he's a very respectful and polite person so I think you're right it seems to be more the family than Bobby.

    I won't comment either way on the Pierce t-shirts.

    For those worried about the influence on kids at the track - have you walked around the pit area and seen some of the statements, sayings and images on some race cars... especially on the back of spoilers or fuel cells? Drivers during interviews acknowledging they name their race cars after famous porn stars? The morality flag stopped waiving over short track racing a LONG time ago so let's not pretend the Pierce shirts are new and unchartered territory.

    But then what about NASCAR? Surely, we can look to them to help point our moral compass in the right direction. The powers that be in NASCAR would not allow something like this on a t-shirt or a race car with one of their race teams in the "Corporate" and "Sanitized" series. Kevin Harvick just ran the Busch Beer Millennial car at the NASCAR All-Star race this past weekend in Charlotte. On his hood... "Busch Beer AF." Harvick finished second in the event and blamed the finish on his pit crew who were definitely not on fleek during their final pit stop.
