FIELD NOTES // 1985 Motocross Championship

The Glory Was in the Dust

There was a time when motocross wasn’t marketable. It was muddy. Dangerous. Loud. But behind the chaos was something elegant—a choreography of courage and control. Riders in open fields, engines howling, threading impossible lines between disaster and victory. No GPS. No traction control. Just grit, timing, and instinct.

The 1985 National Championship was one of the last great analog battles. The gear was tough. The competitors tougher. And yet, through the grime, there was style. Hand-lettered graphics, sun-washed patches, the effortless cool of a rider leaning into a turn at 60 mph without looking back.

We built this tee to honor that moment in time. A refined classic in soft grey, stamped with a heritage-inspired emblem—clean and bold, then gently worn. The design is distressed, not the garment. A nod to the legacy, not the wear. As if it had been folded in a drawer next to an old trophy and a pair of cracked goggles.

This isn’t nostalgia for the sake of it. It’s a tribute to timeless strength—earned, not invented. Because the glory was never in the podium. It was always in the dust.
