IRVINE, CA (Monday May 14th, 2018) SHIFT MX is proud to announce a multi-year signing of Team GEICO Honda. #6 Jeremy Martin, #36 R.J. Hampshire, #40 Chase Sexton and #66 Cameron McAdoo will now join the Shift Syndicate and compete in the 2018 AMA Motocross series and beyond.

“The whole team here at Shift MX could not be more excited to partner with GEICO Honda this year. The team has always been one of the most professional and sought after teams in the pits and we’re looking forward to being a part of their race program moving forward.” – JT Fox, SHIFT MX Marketing Manager.

“We are very excited to partner with SHIFT MX this season, the brand has really taken racewear to the next level and our team has been anxiously waiting to try out the new gear. We’re looking forward to some cool projects and a lot of race wins in the new look this outdoor season.” – Dan Betley, GEICO Honda Team Manager.

The team will contest the first round of Lucas Oil Pro Motocross this weekend at Hangtown on May 19th wearing the SHIFT 3LACK Label gear sets.

Awesome for GEICO to be back with Shift, and awesome that Shift's marketing guy is named JT Fox. How could he not work in the MX apparel industry with a name like that?

Really curious to see if they end up switching to Fox boots, goggles, and helmets.

Also, anyone else notice the "Lab" logo? Does that mean the possibility of switching between Shift and Fox in a similar manner as Kenny?

Safe to assume Christian Craig will also be in Shift gear?

The new Shift gear shown in the release photos have the 6D logo, and riders are all shown with a 6D, so I am assuming that sponsor remains. I wonder about boots though.

They will be in 6D helmets, 100% goggles, Shift gear and Alpinestars boots for the remainder of 2018...2019 could look a lil different...

Wearing 100% goggles over the top of Alpinestars goggles.

I remember Canard tried wearing 2 pairs of googles at once for a mud race.

ML meant Astars boots lol.

Sweet. That Alias gear was dog-ugly from day one. I remember when they ditched Fox for Alias in a blatant move to give the Geico logo more real estate on the jersey.

Nothing but black and whites? Am I alone hoping there will be more colors? Very basic, like iron on labels.

Will McAdoo be lining up this weekend, or is he not even back riding yet? Haven't heard a lot about the kid recently.

No, I think they’re good on the head to toe.

Alpinestars boots traditionally can go with any gear, they are a boot company that now makes gear. 6D Helmets can go with any gear. 100% goggles go with any gear.

Now if you wore Alpinestars gear and Fox boots it would be weird. Lol

That shift logo is so bad. I've got no problem outsourcing, but at least go to a design house where you get 50 different designers submitting 250 designs. Whatever they have now is not good. You can't just purchase a clip art logo and think that's your brand image.
