Red & Yellow ‘Ratino’ tee-shirt

£35.00

The latest in our ‘merch’ line of ‘ratino’ t-shirts. Following on from the original blue and the popular dark charcoal, we now present a vivid red and yellow and — familiar to many — a black and gold. No prizes for guessing the inspo’ there…. In fact both colourways were inspired by 1970s grand prix racing and the teams that took six WDCs between them. As before, the tees are screen-printed in the UK and use only ethically sourced, organic cotton. All sized are available from small through to XXL.

A small shipping charge applied to non-UK orders at checkout.
