His Alpinestars kits look a helluva lot better that the stupid stuff Barcia used to wear!

Awful.. the 6D/Alpinestar combo... Yuk..
IMO the Geico/Alias/Shoei combo was one of the sickest kits ever

Alisa reminds me a lot of the older No Fear stuff, isn't there a connection with the owner?

My bad, thought he was still wearing that Alisa crap. But if they paid me what they are paying ET, It would be the best gear out there!!

Thought these would look cool, their brand is a little bit finicky because of the extreme logo variances... but it does favour the asymmetric stuff too...







Crush, I really dig the first two designs! Id buy those in a heartbeat.

Sorry Crush but to me that stuff looks as bad or worse than what they are currently putting out there.

Yeah I thought they were fun, not like I killed myself on them, like I said, more for fun than anything, wasn't really expecting an advertising agency designer to be pulled across the pacific for a garment/textiles job, regardless of what they looked like!

I actually really like the onesie-pyjama feel of the 3rd set, hence the name, but it'd need some other elements and less repetition to make it look really good... Thor had something a long time ago which felt similar, looks cool on the track

JHansen, well there is no accounting for tastes, which is why there is so much gear out there... But on the other hand the technicolour spew gear Eli and Justin have been wearing is nothing similar in any aspect to what I threw together... Not offended but I don't know what to tell you bro. I was taking design-cues from the shift and seven gear, big clean lines and asymmetric designs. I sometimes wonder if Eli's gear isn't tie-died with rubber iron-on logos!

He chose not to be a thor rider bc he believes in his 6D so much. He wouldnt be allowed to wear the 6d if he wore thor.

It's fucking awful, every damn week.

And as to who's choice it is, he shouldn't be given the choice of something that looks so bad. That doesn't help their brand at all...

Who's lining up to buy that shit?

Amen. The UGLIEST gear out there by far, every week, to include privateers, people in the stands wearing random jerseys, and the KTMJSC. Uuuuuuugleeeee!

Eli always had a good look when running the TLD stuff in amateurs. He seemed to put a lot of thought and effort into his overall presentation (bike, helmet, gear). Not a fan of the current look-----but I'm sure the checks cash..... Cool

Definitely some of the uglier gear out there, IMO. I really like the way some of the other manufacturers are going - simple. Like Seely's, as someone else posted earlier, or the Seven gear. It just looks too cluttered once you iron on sponsors, butt patches, etc.

I think that my buddy beat you out on that job if it was a couple of years ago. He moved over there and did a bunch of stuff but it just wasn't for him and he was also having VISA issues. From what he said, the guy who designs the MX stuff is more into techno and clubbing than moto.

UGLY!! I hope hes getting paid enough to wear it, he has to know its horrible looking. The euro boys look good, don't know if its because of the KTM thing and they seem to have a set uniform every week. Regardless, they need to evaluate what Eli is parading around in, Yikes!

Yes. "Alias" is an alias (different name) for NoFear. The same guy/guys started it.
