Between the bikes, gear, helmets, and boots, there's never a shortage of red, white and blue on the Team USA guys. I think they're fine as-is.

What company line?

Half the time our guys look like red, white 'n blue blender. I love the USA as much as anyone, but sometimes (okay, a lot of the time) it's borderline over the top.

Do the bikes need more USA and less sponsor logos? Not really.

For people who run a board about Opinions you sure don't want none.

I say it's to much Logo and not enough USA , it's just my Opinion , I don't buy Geico, Redbull or Rockstar and if anything things like this drive me the other way.

I don't see the logo part being any different than usual, it's just that the USA graphics are added in.

There is an issue with having a sponsors logo on the flag graphics. Honestly, it is probably against flag depiction etiquette,

That's just some butt hurt persons idea of what I think.

I don't get the Merica thing guess it's what people make up when they know they got it wrong.

Yeah what's up with that? Dunge's KTM has always been pretty lame if you compare it to what his teammates rides.
Tomac's Honda is on point though!

C'mon Guy you seriously can't be happy with the Dungey N-Style attempt at USA team esprit de corps. I think Dungeys graphics were a poor attempt but i suppose it doesn't matter when team USA are on the top step with the 100+ cling-ons draped in the red white and blue

No one is going to mistake Dungey as being French.

settle down scoop! the gear is fine but you are a professional outfit so make the curtains match the carpet.
The other 2 bikes look sweet Dungers just looks like they ran out of time hell it looks like they could of run that all year.

Whoa.....I just realized that Ryan's helmet has " captain " on the back. Never seen this before. Is it something new? I know he's the captain , I had just never seen it on a riders helmet before.

Fwiw.....I like the USA bikes.

He's run Captain America or captain Dungey like here a few times on pants and helmet.

Pretty sure his pants are running the Marvel Captain America logo too.

All the bikes look great in person.

After all these years of everyone saying it's "the rider"...not "the bike"....why are we so worried about how Red, White & Blue the bikes are?

While we're here...

Hondas are Red & White. Yamahas are Blue & White. They both kind of fit right into the American Flag Color-Way. A KTM is. Orange; hence, you see some Orange...go figure.

As for the Sponsors logos? I'll I've got to say is, "Thanks!" for SPONSORING OUR TEAM.

I agree with everyone. Now move on.

This to me is the most important race of the year. I would love to see the bikes look like an America flag but I am sure our boys will let them know whos who. Whatever it takes to get our guys to race the des Nations is what we need to do and if having sponsor logos on the bike is what it requires, than so be it, in whatever color.

Not a big Dungey fan but the Captain America on his pants is the shit and it will be nice to watch 38 other riders reading it each moto he races (the 39th is his team mate that is in the moto with him, depending)
