The crashing car, often a central element, could represent the inherent risks, the thrill of pushing boundaries, and the consequences of living life at full throttle. The prominent title, "Roadracers," boldly displayed, makes a clear statement about the wearer's appreciation for a time when American culture celebrated speed and risk-taking. The overall design embodies a sense of nostalgia for a simpler, yet more dangerous, age.
