I was not around when all this was going on but from running a small bike club that went on to become very large we had the same talk years ago over t-shirts/clothing.The only reason when the club went for t/shirts in the start was the local meets that were being set up,we were having people turn up and stand in the back ground as they did not know who to make in (went of a better way of putting it) 'First contact'.Then they would come on the forum a say how unsociable or clicky we were not the case as we did not know they were there especially if they turned up in a car or different bike.The t/shirts worked for us allowing the first timers to see there was some one there from the club.This went on to help with the big shows as well/meets as well pointing out who is running the stands etc.Having been at Gatwick last weekend with my t/shirt on it made it so much easier to make that 'First Contact'.I hope to make both meets and make a bit of a afternoon out of it. Thats my view on it
