It's a shame the bike they chose is a semi-ape hanger. I'm assuming it's a copy of a Berliner ad back in the early 70's.

My wife bought me a target one today hahaha real funny.

My friend at work showed up with a shirt that had a manx on it. I told him that was a cool shirt and he got it at gap or something. Also there was a person in our telecom dept with a jimi hendrix shirt and he didnt know who jimi hendrix was!!

now if we can just get a leather jacket w/ fringes w/ a norton logo, then some bandana's w/ a norton logo, maybe scarf's too, and have cigarette lighters or cellphone covers w/ norton logo's we'd be cool!

joy!

No shit. Leave it to Target and mall wart to jump on the bandwagon and ruin a good thing.

no offense to anyone on here and kind of agree with the ton ups remarks lets not end up looking like a bunch of Harley clowns wearing licensed Harley clothing from head to toe manufactured buy cheeseballs trying to make a dime off the latest trend. Personally I wouldn't buy any Norton tee from Target or Gap. I made up the Norton wool felt tee because I wanted an old school style made in America with American cotton by a Norton owner. Not trying to hate but I really don't like mass market commercialism of the few cool things left in this world. Christian

Thanks SG for ruining a good thing! Still looks like Norlon to me.

At $10 a shirt, nobody is making a lot of money off these Target Ts. Nice shirt to wear with jeans or maybe I'll wear the one from Hawaii with sea turtles. A lot of us wearing "graphic Ts" and this is just another. If is brings focus to Norton motorcycles from someone that recognizes the logo and a conversation starts that could lead to another member to join the NCNOC...all the better. No harm and maybe some good.

I ran into a couple of kids in the 80's that didn't know who the Everly Brothers were.

By that logic Target and Mall Wart aren't making money off of anything they sell.?? That's how you become a billionaire in this world. I've got nothing against Norton t's, just don't like corporate America ruining everything, and SG marketing Norlon umbrellas like its Polo or something.

I just don't want to see SG try to prevent Old Britts or someone from selling a Norton tank decal without paying a licensing fee. (or maybe they do).

Really?

Tees are really, really cheap to make.

There are some 1500 Target stores, plus online. Each one sell 50 Norton tees (this is for each design, they have released multiple designs). Do the math. Target isn't paying more than $5 per shirt. Even if Norton is making a small percentage (5-10% is normal for licensing) they are getting "free" money.
