vintage triumph motorcycle t-shirt

Item: vintage 1950s Triumph Motorcycle t-shirt

Brand: ColFast by Victoria Products

Sold By: blackrebelvintage

What the Seller Says: ORIGINAL VINTAGE TRIUMPH MOTORCYCLE T-SHIRT. I BELIEVE THAT IT’S FROM THE 50s OR EARLY 60s.

What we Say: According to Wiki Motocross originated in Britain in the 1920s but was introduced to the U.S. in 1966. Given the tag is a product of St. Louis, it’s most likely from the 1960s. Elementary my dear aficionados. Although, maybe this isn’t even Motocross and I’m an idiot. Anyone? Beuller?

Final Price: $248.00

    Well…. The type of racing portrayed on the shirt isn’t motocross… it’s flat track or dirt track racing. Usually a quarter-mile up to a mile oval track without banks. The movie “on Any Sunday” circa 1970, documents the sport along with other types of off road motorcycle racing. Cool shirt!

    Shirt is of Gary Nixon 2 time Grand National Champion 1967 & 1968 falt tracking (factory Triumph motorcycle racer). National #9. AMA National championship consisted of flat track and road racing. Shirt is probably from around 1969-70.
