Whoa! Wait, fellas!!! If you haven't worn one yet, if you have a large logo of any kind printed over much of the back of a cotton T... it no longer breathes, and that area of your back will sweat like crazy.

I know, because I bought some RSC branded T's with our logo emblazoned over the back... and I do not enjoy wearing them.

Make the actual imprint to cover as little shirt area as possible, rather than as a huge patch... just sayin'!

Love the factory of sadness avatar. I use it on a different forum.

If you're going to do this at least make sure you use the Yamaha MOTORS logo, not the Yamaha MUSIC logo.
They are slightly different & so far - everyone is posting the MUSIC tuning fork logo.
You know it's the MOTOR logo if the tips of the tuning fork actually 'pierce' the outer ring.

From the Yamaha website @ https://www.yamaha.com/en/about/history/logo/
"Are there any differences between the Yamaha logotype and that of Yamaha Motor?

The biggest difference is that logo of Yamaha Corporation is colored in violet, its corporate color, while that Yamaha Motor Co., Ltd, its sister company, uses red.

Yamaha Corporation uses a Yamaha Logomark with the tips of the tuning forks contained within a circle, and features "YAMAHA" printed in an asymmetric font, with an "M" with a middle column shorter than the outer legs, while that of Yamaha Motor Co., Ltd has the tips of the tuning forks in Yamaha Logomark extended outside a circle, and uses symmetrical font, with an "M" of all the legs same size."

YAMAHA CORPORATE:



YAMAHA MOTORS:


In the true legal sense, using logos without paying Yamaha corporate for the use of them constitutes copyright infringement but I'm pretty sure Yamaha has much bigger fish to fry than some forum members making some T-Shirts for other forum members.

Ahh a fellow long-sufferer. Respect bro. Our time will come.

I understand what you're saying and I respect it. But I'm not interested in logo technicalities. I just want a want a shirt I can wear when I ride that says "I ride THIS bike because I freaking Love It! Not because I can't afford a HD."

Why is it impossible to find something like this on a shirt?

Well, gee, if that's what you want... take that right down to a T print shop and git 'r done!

Yamaha made a TON of Star & Yamaha cruiser stuff like that but almost nobody bought it.
It was all blown out at stupid low prices a couple years ago & they haven't made any since.
No sales = no product.

Perhaps if they 'Marketed' the stuff instead of relying on word of mouth... Oh, wait... Then they'd be like that Other company.

Nevermind

Here it is, finally:

looks good!
