The Fox Racing Yellow and Blue Jersey Nobody Photographed
Fox made a yellow and blue jersey in the nineties that wasn't a factory team colorway, wasn't in the ads, and shows up in more riders' memories than most of the ones that were.

The Fox Racing catalog in the mid-nineties ran deep. The headline colorways — the neon, the checkered, the spider-web — got the ad pages and the poster treatment and the association with specific pro riders. But the catalog had a second tier of colorways that existed to fill out the line, to give riders who didn't want to look like everyone else at the track a few more options. Yellow and blue was one of those options.
It shouldn't work as well as it does. Yellow and blue is not a natural motocross palette — it doesn't evoke any of the factory teams, doesn't reference any of the major sponsors, doesn't carry the cultural weight of Fox's signature black-and-white or the era-defining neon. It's just two colors that happen to look good together in the specific way that only becomes obvious when you see them on a jersey, in motion, against the brown and green of a California track.
The Fox head logo sits on this colorway the way it sits on every Fox jersey from the era — central, unavoidable, the thing your eye goes to first. But the yellow-and-blue context changes it. On a black jersey, the Fox head is aggressive. On neon, it's loud. On yellow and blue, it's almost cheerful, which is not a word that gets used about motocross gear very often, and maybe that's why this particular colorway sticks in people's heads. It's the one that looked like the rider was having a good time.
We have one: a Fox Racing Yellow & Blue MX Jersey, vintage original. One of one.
