Penton Jerseys

[OUCWBOY]

Hi all!
I purchased one in about 69 or 70 (I think) and it was a white long sleeve T with the Penton logo and crest in Penton green, white and black.
Don't know if that's any help or just making matters worse!

I said gold but I am not good with colors.  My guy says it is yellow.  It is the color on the Metro jersies.  Does that sound right?

Hi. Do,s Metro make a blend jersey, one that is a little more durable than the 100% cotton jersey and  hot weather breathable ? .
Thanks, Dan

The jersey I had in the 70's was made of some kind of "shiney" close weaved material,like some sort of nylon. And was lettered in a school bus yellow on a 6-day green.Does anybody know who placed the first order in the 70's and where they were bought?

I just found my old Penton jersey.  It is long sleeve, yellow, with the Penton family crest on the front and on the back, in big letters, Penton built for champions.  In the center of that, it says Penton Sport Motorcycles, built for champions with two checkered flags in the background.  There is also a small family crest directly in the center of the back.  The label says it is made by the Velva Sheen Company.  Mine is size large and it looks like a medium.  I do not think I could get back into it.  I do not think I wore it when I rode my Penton. I think I paid a lot for the shirt back in 1972/1973 and was afraid to wear it.  That is why it is in beautiful condition.  I also had HI-point boots but sold them back in the 1970's.

The blank jersies are in but my guys machine is broken.  It was just shipped back to the manufacturer for repairs.  Hopefully not too long but we are not first in line when it comes back.  My guess is by Thanksgiving at the worst but we hope before.  I would really like them by ISDTR and that is still possible.

Larry,
So what is the verdict on the jersey's?  These would make great (late) xmas presents.

I have a white sweatshirt with green Penton logo on front and "built for champions" on the back.  I also recall the green ones with yellow (not gold) lettering.

I would love to have a Green Penton Jersey with the crest on the back with "built for chanpions"
Let me know too when that happens.
