[McLaren Fan]

I buy McLaren merchandise every year at the GP, so my collections is fairly large, hats tops i have a beach towel aswell

and dont you like the McLaren tops McFan? they are pretty comfortable and keep you warm and cool if need be

I personally prefer shirts with collars, but I wouldn't mind a nice t-shirt for the (few) warm days we get on the Emerald Isle or when I'm in Scotland, but I don't like McLaren's current range of merchandise. There is nothing McLaren about it. I want to wear something - like a football strip - that clearly shows what team I follow. Take these examples:



The t-shirt looks alright and I'm sure it's good quality, but unless you watch Formula One regularly, you would barely know it's a McLaren shirt.



Ditto the above. Wearing that would suggest that I work for Vodafone rather than me being a McLaren supporter.

Then compare those with the old enemy:



All the sponsors are displayed, but not at the expense of making it look less like a team shirt. You can see, for instance, the colours match the car and there is a sizable Ferrari logo on the thing.



It's the same story with their baseball cap.

When McLaren make their merchandise in McLaren colours and actually have a visible indication that the t-shirt (for example) belongs to McLaren, I'll buy some stuff.

McLaren's gear needs at least one good-sized logo like the above in visible places.

Subtle marketing Mclaren fan I have both the t shirt and the cap. It is recognised by the people i would wish it to be recognised by. Likewise, I recognise it when i see someone wearin one. Why be obvious!!

[McLaren Fan]

Subtle? There is nothing subtle about a huge Vodafone logo on, say, your cap. Is it too much to as for a semi-noticeable McLaren logo on a piece of McLaren merchandise? I want to show my support for McLaren, not pay £30 to £150 for the privilege of advertising Vodafone et al.

Lovely cover shot.

I wonder why it is

they pay for exposure, its like the car there is only 3 McLaren logo's one hardly visible on the nose cone(every constructor has to have their logo on the nosecone) the other two ontop of the side pods.

[McLaren Fan]

Ferrari, BMW, etc. all managed to give their sponsors excellent expose and still have their logo in a reasonably prominent position on their clothing.

I have a McLaren shirt bought when Kimi was still driving for them...haven't worn it for a while I was planning to try and get some unofficial Super Aguri gear but I guess there's no point now Also got a few F1 books kicking around, but not a major collection!

[Kimi_Hamilton]

I've got several model cars

[Jensonb]

I've got the latest Honda shirt, the JB Press to Activate BAR shirt, 1:18 replicas of JB's Renault and BAR 007, 1:24 replicas of 2001's McLaren and Ferrari + a Jordan from a few years before that, a 1:43 of JB's First Pole Limited Edition BAR 006, some teeny mdels of a Ferrari a Williams and a McLaren circa 2001, a BAR 007 poster (HUGE) 2 Collectible JB @ Renault photos, a Renault F1 Team poster featuring FA from when I was pawing all over their car, an F1 mug, an F1 keyring and 2 F1 shirts, one of which lists the 2008 races on the back rock tour style.

Whew. There we go.

[racechick]

Ive got LOADS! Started with Hill (those T shirts I wear to sleep in now)And currently its Lewis of course In between I got JPM (of course ) Also Jordan stuff-love the colour-I ski in my Jordan jacket -got it really cheap. Got a Webber/Jag suntop and cap (we all make mistakes ) And an Alonso top and hoody( )Ive given the hoody away-I did it when he blocked Lewis and I only ever wear the vest top for pole dancing. Got a few general racing ones -T shirt from Istanbul with the track layout on the back, a Jenson one that says "little bit racey". The list goes on...Its sort of part of the Silverstone weekend to visit the stalls and get kit. I usually settle on something on the sat but then end up going back and getting something else on the sunday. Well, a girl has to shop!!

I've had a few F1 hats and that's about it.

A 2003 R Schumacher Williams one, an 05 Renault one, and a M Schumacher 7 stripe one from '06.

[McLaren Fan]

I got a McLaren team shirt after all. I saw one on eBay which cost £17, so I thought I'd get it. Given there's no McLaren logo, I didn't think it was worth the £30 odd that McLaren were looking for it, but £17 was enough to swing the deal.
