Motocross Jerseys

The motocross jersey is a new casual clothing trend

Motocross jerseys are as much about style as they are about safety. In fact, motocross jerseys have become a popular wardrobe trend among young people. You don't even have to have a bike or be involved in motocross sports to own a jersey - they've simply become a new casual clothing style.

Features of a Traditional Motocross Jersey

Motocross jerseys that are meant to be worn in motocross racing display the logo of the sponsors and many of the shirts are quite stylish and colorful. They also contain several safety and functional features to protect the rider while racing:

• Usually made of 100 percent polyester that is durable, lightweight and tear-resistant.
• Have cut-and-sew panels or mesh inserts in the arms and back for ventilation. This aids in keeping the racer cool.
• Padding in the elbows and sometimes the shoulders for protection against scrapes and cuts.
• Jerseys are cut for rider comfort with drop tails at the back of the shirts.
• Micro-cuffs for a tight fit around the wrists. Others have a three-quarter length sleeve for ease of movement.
• Sponsorship logos on the chest, back and arms of the jerseys.
• Sublimation graphic printing. This type of printing won't stain and is fade-resistant. It will remain bold and bright, race after race.

Some of the most recognized motocross labels are Fox Racing, O'Neal, Furious and Shift Racing. Fox in particular is quite popular and produces an entire line of casual wear, including T-shirts, hoodies, jeans, shoes, hats and more. People who are interested in motocross can show their support by wearing the labels associated with the sport.

A lot of Italians are big on motocross and speed racing. Many of their fashion labels reflect racing- and motocross-inspired looks, such as Gas, Replay and D&G. These traditional clothing designers have long taken cues from motocross styles, but now, the motocross look has been taken to a whole new level. Since motocross sports are very popular among youth, they've influenced clothing trends. The motocross jersey is a cool look that has moved away from the racetrack and onto the streets.
