NASCAR Clothing

Until recently, NASCAR clothing became a full scale fashion statement, not because sporting them marks you as among the 75 million loyalists that tune in religiously to NBC Sports but because sporting them publicizes that you are some hot wheel on the stock car. Well, maybe not.

NASCAR clothing became apparently popular due to the increasing popularity of the sport. In fact when listed, NASCAR was the third of the top three sports widely viewed in the United States. And with accounted 75 million fans, with probably more than half of them loyally supporting NASCAR merchandise, it isn’t hard to imagine how NASCAR merchandise, particularly NASCAR clothing, became a regular in today’s fashion agenda.

There are many interesting ideas regarding NASCAR clothing: jackets, shirts, caps and even hard hats are the picks. Often pick drains down to personal taste since the choices for NASCAR clothing are practically inexhaustible. Here are the best examples.

NASCAR Cap
Cap has been a long standing tradition of NASCAR, and it is the most common manner of expressing NASCAR, or ability to “outrun the police” (there had been accounts that say stock car racing’s roots originated from bootleggers that show off their skills in outrunning police using “stock” cars). This Checkered Flag NASCAR Racing Cap from Fogdog Sports is only $9.99 at www.fogdog.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2173756. This should be a perfect choice for those that aren’t particularly keen in patronizing a certain race driver. Still this cap promotes the virtues of NASCAR with its discernible NASCAR Racing logo.

Another NASCAR cap idea is everyone’s favorite orange, Tony Stewart Draft Cap. FansFlare sells it at $20.49 in their site: www.fansflare.com. Vivid colors should mark this cap over the distance, but upon a closer inspection should reveal that this cap is an original replica of Tony Stewart’s Draft Cap. Authenticity shows when it carries the familiar colors of Tony Stewart’s sponsor, Home Depot.

NASCAR Jackets
The NASCAR jacket is widely known for heavy sponsor promoting patches and embroidery. Like this Dale Earnhardt #3 Black NASCAR Jacket. It costs an affordable $199.95 at www.racingjackets.com.
