 hate to be a complainer BUT I have a Pet Peeve with the way T Shirts are Done Nowadays, I'm old school and think the pictures of the cars should be on the front of the t shirts so you can promote - show them off as your walking, If your in a restaurant sitting downing eating, with the cars on the back of the t shirts people don't see the the cars Just Saying, Dont see the logic of hiding the best part of the T Shirt hidden on youre back

Anyone care to Debate me on this

THANKS

How about looking at the positive side. When I was a kid drivers did not sell t shirts. Look at what the real early t shirts were like. Small pics & kind of dull colors. Now drivers shirts are brightly colored with cool pictures and great designs. But all you can do is find something to complain about!

WOW, unbelievable.

I don't think pics on the back are "hidden". I see them all the time. When people go up & down the stands, waiting in line for concessions or rest room and all the people sitting in the stands in front of me. 

In most Sports the Teams shirts have there Emblems on the Front of the there Uniforms, & back in the day Racing T Shirts had the cars on the front of the T Shirts, & if you are sitting at a restaurant in a booth with high back seats The Pictures of the cars are too hidden, sorry I don't see any Positives having the best part of the T shirt hidden behind me, try looking in a mirror and see how great your T Shirt looks with the best part of the T shirt on your back

Sorry, can't debate.... cause I agree

But if this is our worst gripe, we're LUCKY men!!!!!

Try looking at it before you put it on! This is just dumb. If you don't like the shirts do not buy them. Want to support a driver just hand him $20.

Guess you thnk every drivers shirt should be the same.

More likely contrary to the subject of this post you do like to complain.

And arnt you the guy with the multi color charts? Many have complained about how all the colors make them hard to read. Have you changed hem yet?

Sorry, it's just silly  when I buy the grand kids Driver T Shirts and have to tell them to put the T Shirt on backwards to take a nice picture of them with the the Great T shirt designs of the driver's & there cars

 When I bought a new retro Ascot Park T shirt on ebay they gave me a choice and I had them put put it on the front!

Half the lies they tell about me aren't true. 

Well I'm off to the Chili Bowl in 2 weeks and I am going to buy some shirts regardless of which side the pic of the car is on. Guess I'm just not into nit picking. And I do not buy shirts so other people can look at them when I go out to eat or to take pictures of kids wearing them.

Tim kaeding had them made both ways last season.. several fans asked for them that way

including people in wheelchairs.., 

Never really thought about it like that.  My personal preference is for very little writing on the front and a full shot of the car in the back.  I also like plain color schemes.  For instance the Brian Brown shirt I bought last year is black with white lettering and graphics.  I'm kind of plain.  I prefer the car be on the back.  I never really even realized it though until you made me think about it!

Not going to argue with your logic though. 

I agree. I try to buy shirts that have the car on front and back, but sometimes there's no choice. If it doesn't have the car on front, and has some ridiculous looking "logo" on the front, I more than likely am not going to buy it. If I do, it has to be a shirt of a driver I'm REALLY wanting a shirt of. I'm also "old school" when it comes to the design. I like the emphasis to be on the car, not how busy and wild they can make it. My ideal shirt design is a cool action shot of the car with the driver's name across the top and his hometown at the bottom. I wear my racing t-shirts to promote drivers, tracks, events, and sprint car racing, not someone's artistic ability and wild imagination. Guess I'm just an old fuddy duddy.

I dont mind either way, I see no harm in any of them. I actually love the newer concepts of the car on the side of the shirt, I have 2 Kyle Larson tees that have his car wrapped around the side of the tee. If its such a major concern of whether people can see your back or not, then I have 2 options for you.

1. Walk backwards

2. Wear your tee shirt backwards

i have two original "ascot" t shirts hanging in the closet....a little small now though!!!

Ascot was the greatest of all time..

West Capital wasn't half bad either..

Life is good...

I'm old school as well and remember the days when a racing shirt meant a plain t-shirt with a small STP logo on the front.  I don't know when these shirts morphed into something akin to a splash of color akin to a "the end is near" sandwich board some doomsdayer would wear.  Personally I prefer a dark blue or black pocket t so I have somewhere to put my readers when I'm not looking at the camera.  I have never been very comfortable parading around in the cartoon shirts every racing fan seems obsessed with these days.  Side benefit, plain pocket t's $7.99 vs racing shirts $15-$20 minimum so I save a little gas money in the process.  Now that's what I call old school not wearing a racing shirt.

OK, I guess that I have a brown pocket t and they're not all blue and black.

AMEN!!!! we asked him to print it in one color. Did he listen NO!!!!! I like the cars on the back of the shirt that way if you spill you fries with catcup you dont ruin the car print......lol
