I have tried that. Guess what? Custom T-shirt outfits are skeerd of Harley Davidson, Inc. Evidently, The Motor Company has a rep for defending its logos pretty fiercely. Can't blame 'em for that at all.

Vote vote vote!

I don't think the poll is still open, but I did find a shirt that is pretty close to what I've been looking for:

If HDLV can do this, why can't the MOCO?


I might spring for a couple of the HDLV shirts ... even though I haven't been LV since ~1988...

I'm not the type to wear clothing that makes me look like a walking Harley billboard, but I'd like a simple HD T-shirt. Trouble is, as far as I can tell, there is no such thing as a "Simple Harley Shirt". All I'd like is a T-shirt with a BIG Bar & Shield on the BACK and maybe - maybe - a small B&S on the front chest - on a pocket maybe. That's it. Nothing else on it. I'd buy a couple of 'em. I'd even buy a sweatshirt like that (not a hoodie, just a normal sweatshirt). Simple colors too - black, grey, white... easy, right? Or AM I nuts?


I get why HD sell shirts with the corporate logo on the front - so the dealers can put THEIR logo on the backs of those shirts.


How about doing it the other way around for once?


I've sent emails to HD's "IDEAS" email address. Never heard back.


So, I'm hoping a T-shirt/sweatshirt like this would be something the HD community would be interested in picking up. If so, I'm also hoping someone from HD will see this...


So, who else is interested...??
Find Willie G's email or FB page & contact him he leads that division at Harley Davidson.

And in case u don't know who Willie G is, he's William G "Davidson" the CEO OF HARLEY DAVIDSON & THE LAST LIVING OF THE HARLEY LEGACY.....

But he'll listen to anything that will help Harleys image.....

I met him & his wife Nancy in 1992 & they're Jus the nicest down to earth ppl u could ever meet, just a regular Jo.......

He's not, nor was he ever CEO of HD. He retired from the MOCO over 4 years ago.

I know of a place in the south to get something like you want. Flea Markets have them. Regular t-shirt with bar and shield on back and small one on the front. I don't have to be billboard either. I wore a sleeveless Fender guitar shirt today on my ride. Wait, that just makes me a Fender billboard even though I own a Fender anymore.

I personally dress for comfort and want to ride while being comfortable...probably too much so. The clothes I ride with normally don't offer much protection, either, which could be my undoing one of these days...
I've worn my Kawasaki t-shirt while riding my Harley, and a Harley t-shirt while riding my Kawasaki many times. First time it happened I didn't even notice. Someone make a dumb comment about it so I've been doing it intentionally from time time. It really is amazing how it bothers some people. lol

every once I a while I'll see Harley shirts at a flea market just just have the Harley logo. I guess because they're not affiliated with a dealer.


for that reason I think I'd try ebay, or some place with no dealer connection.
