Hondaline Sportswear | AMA-Era Competition Jersey
Original late 1970s to early 1980s Honda motocross racing jersey, produced by Hondaline Sportswear for competitive use. Constructed from heavyweight mesh polyester for breathability and durability, this jersey features period-correct screen-printed Honda branding across the chest and sleeves.
The back is marked with a rider-applied name (D. McKee) and number (5), indicating actual race use rather than retail sale. Jerseys of this type were worn by privateer and semi-factory riders competing in AMA motocross and supercross events during the sport’s peak growth years.
