I think it was by committee, not sure, but someone picked it. Artistically, very creative, as for image. I guess we could use something that corporate sponsors won't even involve themsleves in, due to public drunkeness and lewd behavior. But off the top of my head, I would just say no. But that is only me

prejudice because I can recognize a foreign countries flag and I know what the shape of new jersey looks like, WOW.
OK, let's see how creative you can be. Draw up a new design or 2.

the bottom line is that it is disrespectful and if it had been done in a way that offended african americans,we would have al sharpton and jesse jackson all over it, it was not creative at all. It was offensive to Italians and it is offensive as a representation of New Jersey. It didnt make me think of Jersey shore because I never watched it. It made me think that there are some real idiots in charge of NJBMX to let it even get out as a joke. Lou has every right to be pissed off about it.

You should be offeneded not because you're Italian, but because you are AMERICAN. Why the Italian flag? We are American and we just had Veteran's Day do you think all the service people are putting their lives on the line so that a group in NJ can represent another country by wearing their flag? That's very inappropriate especially in this day....so when someone threatens our country what do you want the servicemen to say? ehhh..drop it on that njbmx that wants to wear another country's flag while we're here fighting and bustin our ass. Is that right? As far as the "fist pump" scene....seriously? An adult can see the show and see how wrong the show and the people are in it, it is not for children why would we put it on jerseys children would wear? What's next? A 6-pack? This is a family sport it needs to be kept that way. NOT to even mention STYLE - oh come on! It's so tacky somehow I think it was started with an idea then went to a "let's put this on, let's put that on" and got out of control. If my kids were still young and racing it would be a race we would just skip, newsflash there's always another race somewhere. My daughter would not have worn that jersey and we would have gone to another race. Wrong is wrong, and there comes a time when you have to stand up and say "that's it".
