I’m all for any company wanting to dip their toes into the MX world but this attempt seems kind of lazy imho. There is nothing on their social media that mentions it, it’s not anywhere on the homepage of their website and Austin doesn’t currently have anything posted about it (Im referring to Instagram, I don’t have twitter so can’t speak for that platform). 

Where did OP see this announcement originally because outside of that link that was shared, Im not seeing any sort of promotion or marketing behind this collaboration.

But how many REALLY know what the Husky logo really is?😎. Some folks will need to go burn their Husky (in an environmentally friendly way, of course) when they find out.😂

 I thought that was common knowledge, like the Mercedes and BMW logos being tied to WW2 Nazi aircraft engines...

"YAMAHA FACTORY RACING TERMINATES SPONSORSHIP AGREEMENT WITH KNICH
EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY
February 21, 2018
https://motocross.transworld.net/news/yamaha-factory-racing-terminates-sponsorship-agreement-knich/

On Wednesday afternoon Yamaha issued a press release that stated they had ended their agreement with Knich, an upstart “action sports lifestyle brand” that had signed to a multi-year title sponsorship of the motocross program. 
This news comes amid a very eventful time for the Yamaha team, as Davi Millsaps recently announced his retirement from racing due to an offseason injury along with Justin Barcia’s confirmation to stay with the team through the remainder of the year and then a hand injury that required surgery.

We and many others wondered what exactly Knich is, as it’s unusual for a brand-new company to become a major supporter of a factory team. 
After talking to some people familiar with the company, we were told that Knich is the side project of an entrepreneur that is highly involved in ammunition and that Knich was created to side-step a restriction against firearm sponsorship.

The founder of Knich is a friend to Millsaps, hence the connection to the team."

 I wonder if Monster Energy or Pro Circuit Kawasaki signed off on using a photo of Austin on his factory bike for a firearm ad?

I ask because a few years ago Yamaha Factory racing dropped their title sponsor when they discovered they sold ammo.

 using a race pic to sell Sig Sauer  seems a bit weird- well that and I’m a Glock guy anyway…

Wynn owns SLR, that’s why. So not really sure they “Sponsor” the mini o’s. Just free advertisement for Wynn from Wynn is all.
