Saw this  guy outside of my house today with some interesting jersey design: half O’Neal half Fox with RC on a Suzuki decked out on the back. What a strange knock off. I see all sorts of designs like this all over Southeast Asia, which made me think of other weird designs others would have come across?

This is why companies get so crazy about their logos... they don't want their brand name "supporting" a message they don't endorse. You know, like telling people to go buy another brand. 😁

Maybe not quite on subject in an mx forum, but when I was in Japan a few weeks ago, I saw multiple entire fashion shops that were almost exclusively Norton motorcycle branded gear.

Even odder: the fashions most frequently had a Harley-Davidson panhead graphic on them.

WTF???

My buddy flew helicopters for Uncle Sam, and was an instructor for quite some time. He spent some time in Japan instructing, and he said he saw all kinds of customized things to be more "Western". One small motorcycle he saw had a custom paint job and on the tank it said: "Dreaming Motorcycle With Spanking".  We still don't know what they were shooting for.

I saw some really good stuff from Japan. One of my favorites was the loosely-translated riding guide, which stated: "Important when riding in wet to avoid the strong lean angle. That is where the slide demon lives." (Paraphrasing.)

These remind me of the intructions that come with some of the stuff we buy off Amazon.  😄

Was looking for jerseys and came across an indonesian seller on ebay that actually seems to make pretty good replica jerseys. This guy has everything from old jlaw, mcgrath, rv, to jett lawrence, deegan. Has all the sponsor logos and everything.

It's gotten better over the years, but I still see some pretty head scratching shit on t-shirts. For my 50th birthday, my wife got me a shirt that says "50 Year Old of Being Awesome," and I wear that thing proudly.

Thanks! Wonder why they used Mandarin (Chinese) with a Samurai (Japanese) theme?

That's like Mexican themed Maple Syrup.
