From a graphic designer's-point of view, I'd say that it is really too busy... it's not that any part of it is bad on its own, but lumped all together it is just too busy. For example, it took me a few glances to see that there was even a bulldog on there! I think that you need to remove one of the many elements like the other guy said... dogs, guns, skulls, cholo, etc...

Personally I'd like it if there was just the bulldog with the crossbones behind it.
So i only looked quik, i seen a masked guy with guns, looks to all over the place,and i did not see the bulldog at first look.( moto or the street wheel dudes or gangster?)
Remove skull ,put the dog there,turn the triangle in to a #plate with outlines,Dump the guns,Turn the bones into pistons with your Company logo running acrossed the middle. Company logo on top of back of shirt. And again send a large for testingWoohoo
#2 GET CHICKS FOR THE PICS

Next i would like to see that dog on his bike.

Bulldog Racing, I'd like to apologize for the immature comments made by my Vital peers. As a long-time member, I'm sure you know how flippant and downright disrespectful they can sometimes be.

But tell me--did you get that bulldog image from Microsoft clip art?

Hehe. Seriously, though, those are two shirts.

Thanks, I am just glad my four kids don't act like some of these punks on here.

And no I didn't get our logo from clip art, we have some serious design hours invested in that logo over the years. We did recently revise our logo due to it being too detailed for the stitching on our hats. We needed to simplify it in order to get the 3-D stitching for the hats.

Thanks for the feedback!

Move the Bulldog into the skull spot with a bandana on, get rid of the triangle, use the bullets and a six-shooter style gun to frame the main piece, you can keep the bones just make it proportional. Relocate the name to the bottom and see how that looks.
Cool, good advice!

As a potential customer, it's just too much going on, but I'm an old guy and my tastes may not be reflective of the younger crowd

Who cares about the design, which looks like a shirt that Eazy-E would wear while sticking up a liquor store or beating a hoe.

Im more concerned with more and more 'companies' popping up selling apparel with the words motocross and racing while not having any product related to motocross and racing.

Just because you race, doesnt mean you need to start a company selling shirts and hats. Try something that requires thought like a real product related to riding or racing.

Be very good if you were pinpointing gangs or thugs but as motocross apparel you better take what money you have left and run from this money pit. You definitely aren't going profit from this shit.
Kind of thinking the same. If you are marketing to guys with lifted trucks and Metal Mulisha graffics on their bikes (play riding only thanks) then I think you've done it. Selling to real MXers.....not so much.

The racing part of "Bulldog Racing" would indicate that it is FRBR, kinda like the hood brand FUBU (For Us By Us) all the white boys who thought they werent white wore 7 or 8 years ago.

Nope. First account. I think the misunderstanding happened here:

"As a long-time member, I'm sure you know how flippant and downright disrespectful they can sometimes be."

You thought I was talking about myself. Reading comp., bro! Cheerful haha

I'm sure Bulldog is super pumped I bumped this thread back to the top. I hear no amount of feedback is ever enough for that guy.

Im gonna be honest "bulldog racing".. you cant come on the biggest motocross website in cyberspace with all moto heads from all over the world and try to sell that.. If you come.. you better come better then that and bring what people want.One thing about motocross riders are we are strait up and pretty much know whos who.. And me personally, i kinda get the feeling, u guys are not passionate about motocross and are just trying to sell sum shirts.

My 1st impression was: What the fook does a bulldog have to do with motocross. There is no relation than mabey the odd guy who brings his bulldog to the track to take a shit?? You tell us.. Because sum of us call eachother dog?? And the guns?? WTF? So ur impression of motocross riders (im sayin this cause its the people ur tryin to sell to) are that we all listen to music inolving death metal hence the skulls.. we all carry guns and bring our bull dogs to thhe track to take a shit and ride sum dirtcycles?? Please explain..

There is no passion or heart in what u are doing and it shows.. We all love motocross because it is in our veins.. its simple and the language among us can only be understood by us. Right now you are speaking Bulldog and we dont know or want to understand what the hell that barking is about.. If im selling a product to the mx community, its comin from the heart.. It would be simple, to the point.. ever heard the saying " a picture can be worth a thousand words" ? Oh and just a pointer for the future.. dont be barkin calling people little punks who have an opinion and could be possible future custumers.. Cause basically all you did was lock urself in the kennel with no food, no water and nobody to clean up ur shit.. But hey, on the brightside of things.. you will have plenty of shirts to keep warm in the cold nights cause u bit ur owners hand that feeds you.. Feel me Dog??
