Dainese’s 45 years and AGV’s 70 years of history have been painted on the canvases of 14 themed T-shirts and two exclusive leather jackets, representing the evolution of the brands’ technology and a tribute to three motorcycling legends.

All imprinted T-shirts look awesome, but three of them are very important for the two companies as they were intended to pay homage to three famous racers who got sponsored by the Italian brands.

The Barry T-shirt is about one number, one color, and one rider. And the number 7, in motorcycle racing, just like red, white, yellow, and black, makes you think of Barry Sheene.

Born in 1950 in England, Barry entered all the Motorcycle GP classes from 50 to 750 cc but achieved far less than he could have. However, he won 23 races and made his mark, because he was the biggest character of them all. Known for his exuberant riding and resulting falls, Dainese tested its first back protector with his help.

Giacomo Agostini, the most successful Motorcycle GP rider with 15 championships and 122 races, has his own commemorative T-shirt. He began collaborating with Dainese in 1975, and he saw the introduction of colored, thicker leather and double protective straps.

Last but not least, Kenny Roberts was not forgotten and has his own homage tee. He landed in the Motorcycle GP in 1978, and thanks to his dirt-track and Goodyear tire experience, rode his Yamaha 500 with a unique and personal style hat made the bike glide. He also helped to create the first knee slider.

The collection also includes the Legacy Leather Jacket, a total black item with tone on tone colored patches on the chest and shoulders. The Dainese logo in its 70’s styled lettering stands out on the front, while the upper left arm holds three logos coming straight from the Italian brand’s tradition.
