Default T shirt whining

Ever notice how when you find a HD shirt you like, the back is always some god awful dealer logo? I'm from Green Bay originally. I love the Harley #1 logo (I like the classic one, but the dark custom one is my favorite). Was at the GB HD shop now and they had a cool green and gold packer/HD shirt that incorporated the #1. I flip it over and the logo is a curvey woman in bikini on a bike in front of lambeau...so I passed.

I also am getting frustrated with this dark custom #1. You can get doodads for your bike, floor mats, hats, hitch covers - you name it, with the #1 on it. But for the life of me I cannot find a shirt or sweatshirt with the black #1. Anyone got a good source online to snag one? Even Amazon didn't have much to choose from.

The dealers always put the best designs on a black t-shirt as well. I don't want black t-shirts.

Agreed. I did find some cool blue greenish color shirts recently. And I should correct myself, I can find the #1 on shirts here and there but not the hoodies. If skulls are your thing, you're in luck though.

I'd also like to state I love curvey women in bikinis as much as anyone, but wearing it on my shirt really isn't my thing, plus my wife has a job that is in community spotlight, so wearing something like that may look like poor taste haha.

I want the good old Number One (Red White and Blue as it should be) from the 60s and 70s. Maybe even in white with dark blue around the collar.

Sounds like a Great idea for Tattoo,maybe your strong side fore-arm then you can wear any short sleeve shirt you want and it probably won't cost $50.00. I did check House of Harley web-site and they had a few #1 designs not as many as years ago.

You can have a local screen printer do it up for you. I've had shirts done for my business and you can usually get plain shirts for under $5 if you buy certain quantities. Screen set up fees vary but in the end you'll probably come out cheaper than the ridiculous dealer prices and you can get what you want on whatever color shirts you want. It's worth a shot at a minimum.

I have the Dark custom/Willie G. #1 covers on my bike. They're ok, but I would like them to make a Red, White, and Blue set. I imagine it would sell pretty good.

Would a legit screen printer do a trademarked logo though?
