Free advertising for the dealer
Maybe I do not want to advertise for a dealer but since every dealer I know of has their name plastered on the backs of every t-shirt in their store if I want a t with HD logo or association I have to do some advertising for them, and it sucks. I want HD shirts without dealer names on them, especially for the thieving prices they are asking. $25 fee to advertise for the crooks, BS. If anyone has a link to any HD shirts without dealers sh*t on them please pass it along.

I think for them to sell it, it has to have their name on the back. But you can buy HD clothes on line direct from HD and it won't have any dealership name on it. I don't think there's as big a selection direct from HD though.

Yeah, I'm gonna go to that dealer just because I saw a guy wearing his t-shirt. Yeah. Good advertising ploy because I never would have gone to a Harley dealer if I hadn't seen that t-shirt. Oh, wait, his shirt says its some dealer in some part of the country I can't even pronounce. I guess I won't go after all.

Jeesh.....
what a load of boo hooing BS.
most of us go to the dealers to get the shirts that say which shops we have visited. I wear my Battlefield HD with pride because I was there, I stopped in and looked around and bought a shirt to be a reminder of that part of my trip. When people ask about it, I can say I have been there, and that I went to the Gettysburg sites to see where the war was fought.
Another fun part of that trip was visiting the York factory. It was cool to see where they are made, and that shirt has the factory logo and location on it.
Just last friday, a guy I know saw my Beaver Falls, PA HD shirt and we had a great chat about how he was going to see his brother that lives out there. It made my day to hang out with another HD guy and swap stories.
I have many shirts like that. I bought one on ebay that I liked the front design- it is from a dealer in TX, that is one I have that I have not visited.
To me they are a way of showing pride in my interest in HDs, they are benchmarks to my travels, and sometimes I get to meet some great people when they ask about my shirt and if I had been there.
Another dealer shirt I have is of a good dealer that is no longer around, they got old and sold out to a new owner that changed the name. Now I have a piece of history that won't ever be again. kinda like wearing a football team's shirt after it has moved to a different city, it grandfathers your bragging rights. Like wearing a #8 Jr/bud shirt this year. Or a Kiss Destroyer concert shirt from Anaheim.
All I am saying is that you are not advertising for all those things, just that you had been a part of it.
I suppose a shirt with no logo can be found, or the dealer's name be covered or whatever, but maybe look at it as a reminder of where you have been and just be proud of the idea that you are a part of something that not all people understand.

RE: Free advertising for the dealer
I never cared about the dealers name on my shirt - only shows I was there, cause I've never gotten one without stopping in live - cept for the one my wife got me from Can Cun, and I actually don't wear that one. Kinda out of the mood to wear Harley shirts the last couple years anyway.

So you don't want to promote "free advertizing" for the dealer....
but you got no problem with "free advertizing" for the company.
Hmmm.

RE: Free advertising for the dealer
Maybe you should go buy a Honda. I hear they have plain shirts without dealers names. How about just not buying the HD shirts then you would not have to pay the high prices or whine online. Hell get rid of everything HD all together, obviously the lifestyle you chose is one you either can't or are unwilling to afford.
