many brands print whatever they want and people either buy them or not. Very few take the time to really listen to what people of customers have to say.
When i opened this thread i knew i would get a lot of negative as well as positive feedback. That's simply the nature of forums. Its very easy to hide behind a screen, and im ok with that.
But, out of all this, what does my age and my occupation has to do with anything?
but lets do this. Im 34 and yes, im starting to drift my own car and no, its not a nissan.

I deleted both my comments to avoid an argument and offending you.
BUT, since I was quoted I guess there's no turning back.
Age and occupation definitely have a lot to do with what kind of designs you'd come up with. Age would determine what group you hang out with. Occupation, as far as drifting goes, determines how much you actually know about this scene. So.. being 34, I'm guessing you're not exactly hanging around kids in their early 20's that make up a large portion of the community today. You're also just 'starting' out in the drift scene with a car that isn't a nissan, but you're trying to make nissan clothing. So put those two together and we have someone who's trying to make clothing for a consumer base he doesn't know much about. Continue drifting, gain experience, meet more people, learn new things, and then try coming up with something. Right now you're still in the fanboy stages of the scene so you're ideas are made up of really basic stuff 'Nissan guys like sr20's right? I'll make an sr20 hat' 'Drifters like angle right? I'll make a shirt about angle'
It just comes off as trying too hard. It's like hearing a sport announcer that never skated a day in his life commenting on all the tricks a skaters doing, yeah.. he's right, but it just sounds soo wrong. In EVERY hobby there's just knowledge that can't be attained through reading and watching, only experience gets you to that level. It's what separates the vets from the newbies! So again, I'm really not trying to be a dick, it's just constructive criticism. Just get more involved and then get back to the drawing board, I guarantee you your product will be better.
