My problem with Kimi going to Ferrari...

Clearly Kimi Raikkonen is my, and your, favorite F1 driver. Next year he will be driving for Ferrari, which is awesome for him! Unfortunately, not for me. You see, I want to some sweet Iceman gear to rock around town. However, finding a Lotus Kimi polo shirt in my size (small) seems to be nearly impossible. If I get a Kimi polo once he moves to Ferrari, I'll just look like some frat boy douchebag who is wearing a Ferrari shirt #becauseferrari. Everyone will simply see it as a Ferrari shirt, not the coolest F1 driver and current world's greatest interviewee shirt. The awesome thing about the Lotus shirts is that most people don't recognize it, so if they want to know what it is they have to ask.

Anyone know a good place to find one of these in a small? Also, the Lotus livery just kicks ass!

I feel the exact same way.

Just wear Kimi shirts, as in just Finland/Kimi stuff. I also have a couple Kimi Ferrari shirts but they are blue with a small Ferrari emblem, one is where the whole shirt is a Finnish flag. I don't like bright red clothes haha, I worked for Ferrari for a couple years and I didn't like all the red. I was much happier in the BMW and Sauber colours, that and the bosses were better!

Are they not on the F1 online store? But I know exactly what you mean...the Lotus livery gives off the F1/car guy vibe, and the Ferrari red gives off the "Hey! I own a Ferrari! Look at me!" vibe... Or the "Hey! I'm a Mexican drug lord!" vibe.

Lol! They're on there, just not in my size. I believe the Raikkonen one is only available in a 2XL or something ridiculous! I may be an American, but I'm a skinny American dammit! lol

Grabing a Kimi Lotus shirt before it is too late. Great idea! EDIT: If I see a small I'll let you know

Totally agree with you. I'm lucky because my friend owns a silkscreen shop and he used to print shirts for a Ferrari dealership. So he has all the logos and I went online and found the Ferrari font. So I'm gonna print the horse in white & blue (finnish flag) and 'Iceman' underneath it in white. On a black shirt. I might do another black shirt with a red horse and 'Raikkonen' under it in gold. Either way, I don't plan on wearing anything red or anything that screams 'Ferrari' in the near future.

What size shirt are you? They are normal Gildan black t-shirts. I'd rather do them all at once so I don't have to set everything up twice.

Cool. I'll let you know when they are done. http://imgur.com/LqKkJj6 to see what i'm gonna put under the horse. I think white/blue horse with white 'Iceman'. Red horse with white/blue 'Kimi' and gold horse with red 'Raikkonen'. I might throw a '9' on the back, not sure yet.

Hey, sorry I posted 2 of the pics to myself. The shirts came out nice. L.ciamp@me.com is my email, if you want them just email me your address.

ETA: reposted them to you.

FYI, the horse is solid royal blue, the white is light reflecting off of it.

Also, I should note: I took the pictures of them laying on top of a bunch of other shirts. Everything is straight and not some crappy knock off type stuff.

Hey sorry it's taken me forever to reply, I've been super busy with a prospective new job and unfortunately I'm not in a position financially to get the shirts from you because the new job will require me to relocate to Chicago in like a month. The good news, it's for a huge international oem parts manufacturer and basically a huge step towards my dream job! :D

Hey, no prob. That's awesome about the new job! Also, the shirts are free. My friend owns a screen shop and I did them on shirts he over ordered. I didn't pay for them so I'm not gonna make you pay for them. If you want them just email me and i'll mail them to you.
