    Sticky grip, and misfires at random? The branding is accurate.

    This is how my 2-year-old looked on Halloween when I had him put a coat over his Spiderman costume because it was cold while Trick-or-treating

    It's obvious the head of merchandise at Ferrari doesn't understand their customer nor do they understand good design. At all.

    And their boss, probably some VP level dude, just doesn't give a f'.

    Ferrari's merchandise is so off brand, it's breathtakingly bad.

    I’d be embarrassed to go out with someone dressed like this. Mf’s get money and forget how to dress. Maybe I don’t get fashion but a pair of blue jeans from Levis and a standard t-shirt is cool.

    You know it, I know it, every f'ing Ferrari owner knows it. Why doesn't the Ferrari internal merchandise team not know it?

    Because they suck at their jobs.

    I was in Mara-f'ing-nello this September and I came to this conclusion when I walked through the Museo Ferrari gift shop and the merch showroom across the street from the factory, with the crap versions of Balenciaga and cheap ass ****.

    I know then and there Ferrari merchandise had lost the plot.

    Does Lewis Hamilton's fashion sense have anything to do with this? <shrugs>

    By confusing man and woman, this type of clothing no longer means anything.
    Back to the roots Ferrari and build a brand new V12 generation instead !

    I appreciate subtlety in design, so I wonder how one justifies the shields that adorn the sides of so many Ferrari automobiles. Are they not a bit garish?

    Ferrari is missing an income stream there. They could sell those in Texas.

    Perfect shoplifting duds...Should work very well in your local Ferrari store, where one is routinely ignored during any visit. Take your time

    Garish, and ruin the lines of the car.
    But @ $1800 a pop, they're here to stay.

    I'll admit I paid WAY too much for this shirt at the Ferrari pop-up store at the Bellagio this past week, but it's a design that I hadn't seen elsewhere.

    Looks like someone cut my sleeping bag in half and made a pair of pants with it. They're expensive for sure; ironically, they cheapen the brand IMO.

    I agree. Shields were cool on the specials, the 288 GTO, F40, etc., but then they started to appear on everything. Most cringy are the puffy sticker shields people put on older cars that never came with shields (again JMO).

    As to the OP, they're trying to be Balenciaga and Gucci cool, when given the demographics of actual owners, they should go back to the Ralph Lauren/Zegna/Loro Piana style they used to sell at the Ferrari store.

    I dont think so, Ive been there, I did not get that vibe at all, in Los Angeles a bit, yes . I was all over Italy, I did not see one Ferrari on the road, I did see one Masi, but no Ferraris, and no **** ups wearing this garbage.
