What’s Happening?
You may have noticed recently that some NASCAR merchandise is going through a bit of a renaissance. You’ve probably seen a lot of fans still wearing the gear of their favorite drivers from the 80s, 90s, and 2000s. The black #3, the bright yellow #24 with the rainbow colors, the Petty blue and white #43. You name it; you’ve likely seen it worn proudly in 2024, years after those drivers turned their last lap on the track. We’re going to take a look at some of the best throwback merch you can buy right now and where you can get it.
Retro Cord Golfer Adjustable Hat
This hat screams retro! With the cord on the front, it screams 1980s trucker hat, and when you pair that with a velvety suede look and texture, it takes you right back to the time in history when that was the look everyone wanted. It features the old NASCAR racing logo with the bright colors. You’ll be sure to stick out the next time you wear this one to the track! You can find this one here.
Retro Goodyear Trucker Hat
While it may not be a NASCAR item, Goodyear is synonymous with NASCAR, so we’ll throw this one in! This might be one of the coolest hats you can get right now! Featuring the old-school Goodyear logo, this trucker hat is sure to turn some heads. If you need a new hat for your hat rack or to wear to the next Darlington throwback race, this would be a good one for you. Find it here.
NASCAR Starter Jacket
I think we all know Starter jackets have been making a comeback lately. But it’s not just in the NFL, NBA, and MLB world, but in NASCAR as well! Starter jackets give off that 90s vibe that many are looking for, and if that’s you, this one might be right up your alley. Here it is!
Chase Elliott Starter Jacket
Calling all Chase Elliott fans! This one is for you! You literally cannot get more throwback than this one. While you might not think of a piece of Chase Elliott merch as being a “throwback” item, this one is an exception. Take a look for yourself, but you already know it’s in your cart for checkout! Go ahead and get your card ready.
Dale Jr. Budweiser NASCAR Varsity Jacket
Oh boy, this one is sweet! Throw it back to the Nextel Cup years, and the heyday of DEI with the Budweiser #8 dominating Talladega. If you’re a hardcore Junior fan, this will be one that you’ll want to get your hands on. You can find this one at Thrifted.com.
Dale Earnhardt Goodwrench Hat
This wouldn’t be a real throwback list without a Dale Sr. item. So here it is! This is another throwback hat that you will want to add to your collection, especially if you were a fan of The Intimidator. The iconic Goodwrench logo dawns the front of this hat, and you’ll be sure to feel a wave of nostalgia when you put it on.
These are just a few of the many throwback items you can get your hands on nowadays. Most can be found on NASCAR Shop.com, but a quick Google search for NASCAR throwback merchandise will lead you down a rabbit hole, and likely an expensive checkout if you decide to start building out your throwback wardrobe!
