Reign vmx gear looked a bit boring to me :P
I had a riding top made up from a printing  T shirt mob in australia (CUSTOM MADE )
The skys the limit what you want on it , your race number / your name / logos / theres plenty of logos on the net to show your printer.
I just got a cool yamaha riding shirt from the UK with my name and race number on it as well  $75.00 with postage ,very fast postage.

I guess that means the pre75 era must have been boring Mick.
Yes the Reign range is pretty plain but that is how it was then. By 1976 logos had begun to come onboard and after that the sky was the limit until now when you can't squeeze another logo on if you try.
Before '76 you might have had a Bell logo here and a Bel Ray sticker there and maybe a Jofa chest guard on, Sidi or Swedencycle boots but that was it. Check out the photos.

You must have been a rich farmers boy Vaughn...to have proper riding boots in NZ....I was picking you to be more the Fred Dagg type.

The gear looks good I think. The designer definitely hit the mark for the mid 70s look. Isn't the owner of VMX unlimited a member on here? I have only read positive things about his other gear so far.

 I'll just stick to my '63 model black Aero 1 piece leathers.
  But they do get a bit hot in the summer sun.

I got some plain black Metro nylons (sounds weird when you say it) and Destroy in the UK made me up a Martini race shirt and the plainest black AXO boots I could find. Not too much of an effort to look period (Pre 70) I think. I wish a few more would do the same as I reckon it complements the bikes and the whole scene. J

I'm with you Jerry-can't go fast but like to look the part.
Now try to find a plain helmet.

Clearly you have seen me ride EML. I also have a pre 75 Bultaco and use a period correct USA Bultaco shirt. May yet paint my helmet ala Pomeroy USA ISDT colours if I can find out what paint would not attack my Fox full face. J

I do have some reign gear. Looks great. I haven't worn it yet, hope to run it at the nationals. I bought it from les richters at Vmx unlimited. They have got the old school look with room for modern knee braces.
