Pit Crew Teamwear: Matching Crew Shirts, Polos, Tees and Jackets for Race Teams

The people behind the pit wall, in the rider's colors. Pit crew teamwear from Run Moto Apparel is race team crew apparel printed and stitched from the rider kit's saved color profile, with names and roles from the team roster. Runs start at 10 pieces per design, so a six-person crew is a real order.

Decide before the artwork

Four decisions that shape pit crew teamwear before the artwork

The lead piece, the sponsor field, the names and the jacket; custom crew polos or shirts, the colorway is already decided by the rider kit

Shirt · polo

01Lead piece: sublimated crew shirt or embroidered polo

Crew shirtPolo

A sublimated crew shirt carries the full rider colorway and every sponsor across the garment. An embroidered polo carries the team logo and the main sponsors as thread on pique and survives a season of washing.

Wrong choice A sublimated shirt with twelve sponsors for a crew that changes sponsors mid-season.

Full · main only

02Sponsor field: full kit sponsors or main sponsors only

Full kitMain only

Full kit sponsors repeats the rider's sponsor sheet on the crew shirt. Main sponsors only carries the title and the one or two logos the team is contracted to show on the crew.

Wrong choice Full kit sponsors on a polo where the small logos embroider as blobs.
Chest field with name and role next to a team-only chest field
Name and role · team only

03Names: name and role or team only

Name and roleTeam only

Name and role on the chest or sleeve are placed from the roster and change with the crew. Team only prints the same piece for everyone and reorders by size.

Wrong choice Name and role on a series officials' run of forty where the roster changes every round.

Jacket · none

04Jacket: crew jacket or none

Crew jacketNone

A 600D crew jacket in the team colors covers the cold morning and the transporter; none keeps the kit to shirts and polos for a summer series.

Wrong choice No jacket for a team that races the early rounds in March.

Same profile as the rider kit: the crew shirt matches the jersey

A crew in a slightly different red makes the team look like a customer of the team. Hover or flip the cards: rider piece to crew piece.

How to check itHold the sample crew shirt against the rider jersey sample under daylight, then photograph both together.
  • On the photo, the reds are one red.
  • The title sponsor reads the same size on both.

Cut from the rider kit, not designed after it. The rider jersey's color profile, saved under the team name when the jersey was printed, is the profile the crew shirt is printed from, on the crew shirt fabric, with a strip laid against the jersey strip under daylight before the run. The sponsor sheet is the same file, scaled to the crew shirt's panels, so the title sponsor sits on the crew's chest at the same proportion it sits on the rider's.

Thread against the strip. For embroidered polos and jackets, the thread colors are picked against the printed jersey strip, and the team logo is digitized once at chest size and once at back size. Crew pieces reordered mid-season pull from the same profile and the same digitized files.

Profile fact

The crew shirt is not designed after the rider kit. It is cut from it.

Four pieces, four roles

Anatomy of a crew kit: four pieces, four roles, four fields

Four pieces mapped to the four jobs in the pit box, and the fields the roster writes on them. The dark tiles are the fields.

Chest fieldTeam logo left, name and role right, at the same height on every piece.
Sleeve fieldSeries or title sponsor, or the flag; the same sleeve on every piece.
Back fieldTeam name and title sponsor on the shirt and jacket; the tee's back print.
Roster lineName, role, size per piece; the line that drives the chest field and the packing bag.
The crew day

The crew day: which piece is on whom, unloading to podium

A crew kit is not four shirts; it is the right piece on the right person at the right hour.

Crew shirt, crew chief and boardThe race and the podium: the shot the sponsors see.

Planned along the day. The crew day runs from unloading the transporter in the cold to standing behind the rider on the podium in the heat. Each role gets the pieces its hours need, not the full set, which is why a six-person crew can be twenty pieces rather than twenty-four. The roster for a crew kit asks for role next to name and size, and the layout comes back with a piece plan per role. The team can change the plan on the layout, before anything is cut.

How to check itRead the piece plan against your race weekend.
  • Every role has a piece for its coldest hour and its hottest hour.
  • The pit wall is in the sublimated shirt for the race.

Overalls and layers

Crew sizing from the roster: overalls, layers and the size-run set

A mechanic's polo is worn over a base layer and under overalls; the roster asks for the size that works there

A size per piece. The crew roster asks for a size per piece, because the same person is often one size in a fitted crew shirt and another in a polo worn under overalls. The crew jacket is sized over the polo, with the liner in. Before bulk, a size-run set goes to the team so the crew can try the sizes on in the workshop, and the signed size sheet travels with the order through cutting, sewing and packing.

Mid-season, same sheet. A new mechanic is sized from the same sheet and the piece is made from the saved profile, so the new polo matches the ones already on the pit wall.

One box to the truck

Pit crew teamwear delivery: by crew member, with the rider kit

The crew kit ships in the same box as the rider kit when it can, and by name when it cannot

Crew pieces are packed per person, by name and role, in the same shipment as the rider kit when the two are ordered together, so one box goes to the truck. Series and event runs are packed by piece and size with the carton list on top.

  • Carton list matches the signed roster or size mix line by line.
  • Photo set shows every bag before the box is sealed.
  • Shipping express, air or sea, DDP available on request.
