This sweatshirt has amazing colors and graphics… the back has a race car along with the big and bold words “American Formula International” with a USA shield in the background.

Great for anyone who doesn’t care too much about “wear and tear” and distressing.

Truly amazing fading and cracking! All of the flaws really make this crewneck sweatshirt standout! I’m sure it could tell a few stories!

Super, super soft!

Beautiful colors and graphics!

The flaws are purely cosmetic as this can still be worn. It’s a statement piece for sure!

Significant “Wear and tear” throughout, as expected from age and use.

There are some flaws outlined below - please view all pictures for reference:

As mentioned above, there are a bunch of holes / small tears throughout. Please see pictures for reference.

There is a bunch of fraying throughout the sleeves. Please see pictures for reference.

There are some spots and marks on the sweatshirt from age and wear. Please see pictures for reference. I personally think this just gives the shirt more character. I wouldn’t consider this major as it’s somewhat expected from use.

There is heavy piling on the inside of the sweatshirt. Although this can’t be seen, there is a bunch of piling to the inside as well as the inside of the pockets.

There is fading from age and use. Please see pictures for reference. I wouldn’t consider this major as it’s somewhat expected from use.

There is cracking to parts of the graphics as expected from age and use. Please see pictures for reference. I wouldn’t consider this major as it’s somewhat expected from use.

There is some wrinkling to the collar from age and wear. Please see pictures for reference. I wouldn’t consider this major as it’s somewhat expected from use.

Please view all pictures.

I personally think these all add to the look and character of the sweatshirt.

Obviously please be advised of the condition and understand that there are flaws as outlined above.

Overall vintage condition is flawed to perfection!! This has such a great look and feel and so much character!

I don’t consider any of the flaws to be major since they do not jeopardize the integrity of the shirt.

All of the aforementioned are expected from age and use and also due to it being categorized as vintage clothing. Please view all pictures thoroughly. All of my shirts have been well taken care of and handled/stored appropriately.

Some minor and minimal marks, smudges, cracking, lint, discoloration, piling, wrinkles, etc. could also be present from age and wear. Please be advised this is used and this is a vintage shirt...that means it does have wear and fading.

Additional context to the shirt:

Formula One (F1) is the highest class of worldwide racing for open-wheel single-seater formula racing cars sanctioned by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA). The FIA Formula One World Championship has been one of the world's premier forms of motorsport since its inaugural running in 1950 and is often considered to be the pinnacle of motorsport. The word formula in the name refers to the set of rules all participant cars must follow. A Formula One season consists of a series of races, known as Grands Prix. Grands Prix take place in multiple countries and continents on either purpose-built circuits or closed roads.

Every team in Formula One must run two cars in every session in a Grand Prix weekend, and every team may use up to four drivers in a season.[101] A team may also run two additional drivers during Free Practice sessions,[101] which are often used to test potential new drivers for a career as a Formula One driver or gain experienced drivers to evaluate the car.[154] Most drivers are typically contracted for at least the duration of a season,[155] with driver changes taking place in-between seasons.[156] Recent years, however, have seen a move away from this trend, with teams replacing drivers like Daniel Ricciardo,[157] Logan Sargeant[158] and Jack Doohan mid-season.[159]

Each competitor must be in the possession of an FIA Super Licence to compete in a Grand Prix,[160] which is issued to drivers who have met the criteria of success in junior motorsport categories and have achieved 300 kilometres (190 mi) of running in a Formula One car in 2 days.[161][160] Teams can also contract reserve drivers to stand in for regular drivers when necessary and develop the team's car.[162] With the reduction in testing, however, the reserve drivers' role mainly takes places on a simulator,[163] such as rFpro,[164] which is used by most of the F1 teams.[165]

Each driver chooses an unassigned number from 2 to 99 (excluding 17, which was retired following the death of Jules Bianchi)[166] upon entering Formula One and keeps that number during their time in the series. The number one is reserved for the reigning Drivers' Champion, who retains their previous number and may choose to use it instead of the number one.[167] At the onset of the championship, numbers were allocated by race organisers on an ad hoc basis from race to race.[168]

The number of Grands Prix held in a season has varied over the years. The inaugural 1950 World Championship season comprised only seven races,[198] alongside several non-championship Formula One events.[199] These, however, came to an end in 1983.[11] The 2024 season contained 24 races, the highest number of World Championship races in one season.[200]

Six of the original seven races took place in Europe;[198] the only non-European race that counted towards the World Championship in 1950 was the Indianapolis 500, which was held to different regulations.[201] Some of these races pre-dated the formation of the World Championship, such as the French Grand Prix.[202] Over time, the F1 championship gradually expanded to other non-European countries. Argentina hosted the first South American Grand Prix in 1953, and Morocco hosted the first African Grand Prix in 1958. Asia and Oceania followed (Japan in 1976 and Australia in 1985), and the first race in the Middle East was held in 2004.[203] The 19 races of the 2014 season were spread over every populated continent except for Africa, with 10 Grands Prix held outside Europe.[64]

The British and Italian Grands Prix are the only events to have been held every Formula One season.[204] The Monaco Grand Prix was first held in 1929 and has run continuously since 1955 (with the exception of 2020)[205] and is widely considered to be one of the most important and prestigious automobile races in the world.[206]

All Grands Prix have traditionally been run during the day, until the inaugural Singapore Grand Prix hosted the first Formula One night race in 2008,[207] which was followed by the day–night Abu Dhabi Grand Prix in 2009[208] and the Bahrain Grand Prix, which was converted to a night race in 2014.[209] Other Grands Prix in Asia have had their start times adjusted to benefit the European television audience.[210]
