Here’s an interesting development.
Freestyle-oriented companies producing BMX racing jerseys!
Sure, back in the 90s a number of dirt jumpers (e.g., Shaun Butler) could be seen sporting race jerseys but that trend seems to have fallen away in the modern era.
However, things might be trending back that way…if a couple of recent product offerings are any indication.
The first notable instance of this was the limited run of Empire BMX race jerseys. These babies sold out quickly and (from what I understand) there are plans to make more.
And now more recently, the Shadow Conspiracy Contender jersey.
A jersey “inspired by BMX racing” but with enough “street-wise styling” to not scare off the street riders.
I, for one, am digging the look of these jerseys and hope that this type of thing continues.
Yet it still makes me wonder…who’s going to be next to jump on this bandwagon?
