Hey does anyone know if there is a place I can buy Deegan's seattle jersey replicas?
I didn't see them on THOR but different websites claim that the jersey replicas are available.
Thank you
Geezuz dude, you just ruined a perfect Monday morning. I really did not need to see that.
theres a thor rep thats been posting on here. hes probably hiding his head in shame rn tho
I’d like him if he would just shut the fuck up.

Hamburglers daughter?
Hiding his head in shame? Whether you like Deegan and the gear or not. That was some pretty solid marketing on their end. I'm not huge on Deegan or his character, but they really hit this out of the park.
Who is marketing what to whom?
The gear looks bad, he barely did anything cool, barely did any time, was respectful to the cop, ratted out other drivers, got bailed out by daddy, whined about his record being public, and generally isn't known for being hard. If this was marketing, what was ducking the Des Nations and lying about it?
Thor is in a no win situation sponsoring this kid I guess. Some will love it some will think it's corny. so I don't know what the move is for Thor.
I'm going to guess you are of an older generation and you don't understand how marketing to a younger generation fully works. And that's okay. I would put the entire farm on it that if they released those jerseys to the public, they would sell out in no time. I can tell you're bitter with Deegan and do not like him. I feel you, I'm not a fan either, but he sells, and will continue to do so, either way, Happy Monday!
I'd say Thor was more making fun of the whole thing knowing it wasn't some big crime. Try having a little fun in your life, its good for you.
….out of the car park.
I'm sure Daddy Deegan had some input, and the added fact that Haiden has built his brand around being the most controversial rider in the sport right now...made it a win/win for Thor & the Deegan empire. I'm pretty sure all that was a one-off for Deegan after the arrest situation...and Thor is looking at the Kardashian Theory: "There's no such thing as bad press".
Really just shows how much of a impact Deegan has. Deegan said jump, Thor said how high. I guarantee Thor still sells plenty gear sets on 'sunday morning.' regardless.
If you've been paying attention, I never hang my head in shame around here. I bring the facts and transparency (when it's appropriate) to a group of like-minded-moto-heads who sometimes post things from an ill-informed, or blatantly made-up perspective.
But I digress...we (THOR + Deegan) are just making light of what we can all agree is a bonehead situation. The kid shouldn't have been doing that, but I too live in that glass house, so who am I to condemn? For the gear though, you've got admit, it's pretty damn funny. And no, this isn't some global marketing campaign to make either party look like hardened criminals to be feared. To copy / paste my own quote from many THOR-bashing threads in this forum, "we're talking about dirt bikes here, aren't we allowed to have some fun?".
I gotta admit, as an FXR guy, I really appreciated Deegs stuff this weekend. I even text one of the Thor higher ups (I am sure you know who I am talking about but not gonna give her name her), and gave her my appreciation of it lol. TBH, this was an absolute no brainer for Thor/Deegs to do, and if you all didnt, everyone would be upset that you just brushed over it and are afraid to step out of the box etc. Well played to you guys, and honestly, thought it was the best looking stuff you have had this year lol.
Like Deegan or not, fan or not, the hamburglar jersey in practice was funny as hell!
"Wine country is so hard"
joking/laughing at his own arrest is so cringe it's embarassing. Shut your mouth, handle your business in quiet, and go win races. Designing an instant mugshot shirt and wearing prison stripe gear to the race is a quintuple face palm. And i'm sure they care what I think as i bet they sold thousands of the "merch". Can't stand this damn family.
I got in a bar fight once in austin on 6th street when i was 19. went to jail. my dad picked me up, and well, I can simply tell you that while my crime was stupid and minor, my dad informed me that if i ever did it again he'd pretty much break every bone in my body. To think my dad saying "I know! Let's make a fucking tshirt of your mugshot and sell it!!!" would have sent a message to me that might have altered my life in bad ways.
Greatly appreciated! We are in the midst of a pretty big change-up these days and it's really been a breath of fresh air. Thankful for you-know-who...and you-know-who-else to be around 😉
Pit Row
It would be nice if Haiden donated the money from the sales of the t-shirt etc. to a charity such as one that helps paraplegics outfit their vans to be wheel chair accessible.
It would be kind of a driving theme. "Lets turn me driving like a dumbass into just helping those with handicaps drive"....or something like that. Make up your own tagline.
It would be great for his image. A bad boy that is charitable at the same time.
most modern remotes have a "mute" button
You are entitled to your opinion, that's something that makes our country so darn great.
But to say that they are wrong here is short-sighted. I am willing to bet that everything about Haiden's life is different than any of ours; his upbringing, family dynamic, racing ability, career choice, media prowess, consumer business practices, all of it different than the overwhelming majority of us. Why should any of us get to tell him how to live and succeed in his own way?
You can not like it all day long, but doesn't mean that what he / they are doing is wrong. Or maybe I'm just a little more understanding on this one because, unlike yourself and Haiden, once upon a spring break in Mexico, my old man didn't bail me out, he was hooked and booked right alongside me...but that's a story for another thread 😂
Yes
BeetleBoy? DangerJuice?
Good thing he don't live his life to make you happy.
We are in a different generation. Everyone hating on this would like the financial gain from them handling the situation exactly like they did. I think it’s kinda tacky but obviously I am not with the majority. They have a smart team around them that know how to get clicks and make more money.
Great response. This is exactly it. Like I said, I don't necessarily like the situation, but there is a gain here. and they did it right.
You would think. Or funding a public drift day at a track or something. But no. All for the money machine. Just ask Linkogle.
Spot on except you are part of the majority responding to a vocal minority....
Let's hope you're right. I worry for the future
As far as the T shirt goes. Other people were already making and trying to sell or selling them. So why let them make money off it ? Why not make some money off the situation Yourself. You can realize it was dumb and not do it again. And also turn a bad thing into a positive one. He is not the first person to sell a Mugshot T shirt. I believe one of the recent ones I've seen was done by somebody that is a little bit older and holds a position that should ( in my opinion) be held to a higher degree of scrutiny than a 19 year old kid. He is just getting ready for his 2041 presidential campaign.
I doubt that Brian was super happy about what happened. You do not have a family of high level racers by not being very disciplined in what You do. Haiden seems like a smart kid, but still a kid. Everybody does dumb stuff, if this is the worst thing he ends up doing over his racing career than I think its not that bad. I'm sure he will learn from it. Hopefully he learns to stay out of trouble. I did a lot of creative driving myself as a teen and early 20's. I did most of it in empty parking lots and off road. But I did get my share of tickets still. But unlike most of us on here that have all done similar things, Haiden has a LOT more he could lose . He got lucky this time. If it turns into a pattern instead of an isolated event, that's another thing.
As it is, I love that Thor made up some special gear. I think that doing stuff like what Thor did, will help them gain some more of the kids back as customers. 100% of my customers LOVED the gear they made for him. I don't know if any of them would buy it if it was available. But they all thought it was cool . Vet rider to teenage .
