Why, Can't I find a US supplier for clothing like this.

Hell, I should just be able to walk to my parts department and order up any of this stuff. Maybe I'm uninformed idk!!!!



https://grandstandmerchandise.com/collections/ford-performance


I just purchased some stuff from the link. It's nice licensed clothing. Only sold in Europe, Although they shipped to states. Makes no sense at all.


Knock through the glass tower and find somebody who can get this right!!!

It's an extremely byzantine and stupid system. You won't get any argument from me there. If you weren't me and didn't know what I know, why would you ever find that above link? Dumb. Ask me how much fun it is getting licensed t-shirts made for the Rally.

Off topic (sorry), but knowing how DBK's avatar sometimes has cryptic significance, I have to ask: DBK, what is finished?

These are pretty rad looking. I just need a NGT to match them... :)

Maybe the Golden Age?

Well if you went to LeMans in 2016 you would already have just about every piece on that website..... ask me how I know.

yep I played hell finding the GT ecoboost shirt and finally bought it out of the UK. then they shipped me something else because they ran out and it defaulted to a different shirt. had to file a claim and get my money back. so, ended up with another shirt for free and then all of a sudden, they shipped me the correct shirt that I originally wanted. I don't get it. shouldn't have been that hard. and then getting licensed with Ford? been there, done that twice. $3,000.00 up front annually and they work the percentage off that if you use or not. then the new year starts, another $3000.00. But I have heard that GM is far worse to deal with. jmo

You found a little more GT gear than I.

But I went to your linked site and searched Mustang and they had one stinking tshirt! Certainly they are missing the mark with
branded clothing by a 1000 miles.

way back several years ago, Dodge allowed the Viper Clubs to use the Viper logo's and make clothing as long as it had the Viper Club Region on the article. We were allowed to sell to the members only if I remember right. I don't remember ever having to pay a royalty or profits to Dodge. It was their was of helping the regional clubs raise money to make donations to charities.
