The Driver Suit Blog-Al Unser-1981

For our last IndyCar scheme for Throwback Thursday, I have a question: Um…could someone explain to me why the blue on the stripes and the blue on the numbers are completely different from each other? I’d also like to know why the LONGHORN on the sides and tail are equally mismatched. The thing is, it you replaced one with the other, they would both work well, but because there are two different things going on pointlessly here, I have to give this scheme a C+

I'm just a normal guy who collects race-worn driver suits, helmets, sheet metal, and other race-worn items. I will use this blog to help collectors, and race fans alike understand the various aspects of driver suits and helmets, and commentate on paint schemes. View all posts by dgf2099
