Why Matching Motocross T-Shirts Work for Race Day and Everyday
Affordable motocross t-shirts for the whole family solve a problem most riding households know: celebrating the sport without spending like a factory team. At Moto Dad Racing, our whole catalog is built around that idea, so here's a guide to the six tees we make and who each one suits.
Matching family outfits do double duty: race day photos look instantly recognizable, and the shirts carry into the rest of the week without looking like a costume. The trick is picking the right fabric weight and fit per person rather than buying one design in six sizes.
Below, we break down every option by price, fabric, and best use, so you can build a set that survives mud, sweat, and the washing machine.

Every shirt below is under $30, and each targets a different rider in the household.
| Shirt | Price | Fabric | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|

1. Moto Dad Racing 1: The $22.99 Heavyweight Cotton Tee for Dad
The Moto Dad Racing 1 is the workhorse of the lineup. It's built on a Gildan G200 Ultra Cotton body: 6 oz., 100% USA cotton, with double-needle stitching at the sleeves and bottom hem. That heavier weight matters. Thin tees show every crease and wear through at the seams after a season of loading bikes.
Fabric and Fit Details
The cotton is sustainably and fairly grown in the USA, and Gildan's process runs on 45% renewable energy. The classic, not slim, cut layers over a base layer on cold mornings without binding at the shoulders.
Who It's Best For
Dad, primarily, but also any adult who wants one shirt for the track and the grocery store. It's the safest first purchase if you're unsure about sizing.
2. Eat Sleep Ride 1: The $19.99 Youth Tee Built for Young Riders
At $19.99, the Eat Sleep Ride 1 is the cheapest way to get a kid into real motocross apparel. It uses a Gildan G640B Softstyle youth body in 100% ring spun cotton, quarter-turned to remove the center crease that makes cheap tees twist after washing.
Youth Sizing That Actually Fits
This is where most families get burned online. The Eat Sleep Ride 1 runs youth XS through XL; check the measurements before you order:
- XS: 18" body length, 14" width, 11.5" sleeve
- S: 20.5" body length, 16" width, 13.5" sleeve
- M: 22" body length, 17" width, 14.5" sleeve
- L: 23.5" body length, 18" width, 15.5" sleeve
- XL: 25" body length, 19" width, 16.5" sleeve
3. Father Son Tee: The $28.99 Moisture-Wicking Matching Set
The Father Son Tee is the one to buy when the day involves actual riding rather than spectating. It's a Sport-Tek ST350 PosiCharge Competitor body: 3.8 oz., 100% polyester interlock, moisture-wicking, with PosiCharge technology that helps prints hold color through repeated washing.
4. Ride 2 - New: The $27.99 Pre-Shrunk Cotton Tee for Everyday Wear
Ride 2 - New is the everyday shirt: a Tultex 202 Unisex Fine Jersey body, 4.5 oz., pre-shrunk 100% ring spun USA cotton, 30 singles, USMCA certified. Pre-shrunk matters, the shirt you pull out of the dryer is the shirt you bought, not one size smaller.
5. Ride 2 and Man Myth Racer: The $28.99 Tri-Blend Tees for Softness and Style
Both use the same Next Level 6010 Men's Triblend Crew body and cost $28.99. The tri-blend is 50% polyester, 25% combed ring spun cotton, and 25% rayon jersey, laundered to reduce shrinkage.
How to Keep Graphic Prints From Cracking
A screen-printed graphic fails for two reasons: heat or abrasion. Dryer heat softens the plastisol ink so it bonds to itself instead of the fabric, producing the spiderweb cracks on an old band tee. Abrasion from zippers, velcro, and gritty riding gear scuffs the print until it flakes.
Both problems are preventable with the same routine:
- Turn the shirt inside out before washing. This puts the fabric between the print and everything else in the drum.
- Wash cold on a gentle cycle. Hot water accelerates ink breakdown and shrinks cotton blends even when they're pre-shrunk.
- Skip the dryer or use low heat. Air-drying is the single biggest thing you can do to extend print life. If you must tumble, low heat and remove while slightly damp.
- Wash separately from riding gear. Velcro straps, knee brace buckles, and zippers act like sandpaper on prints.
- Never iron directly over the graphic. If the shirt is wrinkled, iron the back side or use a pressing cloth.
Tri-Blend Durability Trade-Offs
How to Style Motocross Apparel for Casual Wear
Styling motocross apparel for casual wear comes down to one rule: let the graphic lead and keep everything else plain. A loud dirt bike lifestyle tee with loud shorts reads as a costume; with dark jeans or neutral shorts, it reads as a choice.
How to Measure for Youth vs. Adult Fits
Measuring a shirt that already fits beats guessing from a size chart. Lay it flat and measure three things:
- Body length: from the highest point of the shoulder seam straight down to the bottom hem.
- Chest width: from armpit seam to armpit seam, then double it for the full chest circumference.
- Sleeve length: from the center back of the collar, across the shoulder, to the end of the sleeve.
Building a Matching Set Across Age Groups
A few combinations that work:
- Graphic tee plus dark denim and plain sneakers for school pickup or errands
- Performance jersey under an open flannel for cool-weather track days
- Matching family outfits for race day photos, then split up the pieces for the rest of the week
- Youth tee tucked into joggers for kids who want the look without the bulk
Frequently Asked Questions
Where can I find matching motocross shirts for the whole family?
Moto Dad Racing carries a full range of family-sized motocross t-shirts, from youth XS up to adult 5XL. The Eat Sleep Ride 1 youth tee starts at $19.99, while adult options like the Moto Dad Racing 1 run $22.99. You can order the same design across multiple sizes so everyone matches on race day. Check each product page for the exact size chart before ordering.
Are there affordable options for custom dirt bike family apparel?
Yes. Moto Dad Racing's tees range from $19.99 to $28.99, which keeps a full family order under $150 for four people. The Eat Sleep Ride 1 youth tee at $19.99 is the lowest-priced option, and the Moto Dad Racing 1 adult tee at $22.99 uses 6 oz. 100% USA cotton. Both hold up to repeated washes, so you get durable prints without paying premium prices.
What materials are best for motocross-themed everyday wear?
It depends on how you plan to wear them. For track days and hot weather, the Father Son Tee ($28.99) uses 100% polyester interlock with moisture-wicking properties, so sweat moves away from your skin. For casual wear and layering, 100% cotton options like the Moto Dad Racing 1 or the pre-shrunk Ride 2 - New feel softer and breathe well. Tri-blend tees like Ride 2 offer a middle ground with a soft, slightly stretchy feel.
How do I choose the right size for youth motocross t-shirts?
Measure your child's chest width and body length, then match those numbers to the size chart on each product page. The Eat Sleep Ride 1 youth tee runs from XS (14" wide, 18" long) to XL (19" wide, 25" long). If your child is between sizes or growing fast, size up. Youth tees are cut with a modern classic fit, so they run true to standard kids' clothing sizes.
Can I find motocross apparel that is both durable and budget-friendly?
Look for double-needle stitching on sleeves and bottom hems, taped neck and shoulders, and pre-shrunk fabrics. The Moto Dad Racing 1 ($22.99) and Ride 2 - New ($27.99) both have double-needle hems and taped shoulders, which prevent seams from splitting after repeated washes. Pre-shrunk cotton also means the shirt keeps its shape, so you are not replacing it every season.
