I think the name is more a thing of myth and legend that started at a challenge several years ago.

You used to have to get "jumped-in" for a shirt. Now you just have to bet up $14.99. The story? That'll cost ya way more.

I heart my old skool Hong Norr shirt, but I'll totally order a new one too. It took a long time and many beers before I heard the story from Matt.

I think I'd buy a shirt that said "don't mess with Hong Norr-ish"

I thought it was a good site. Have I been violated and I didn't realize it? I hate it when that happens...

No physical address

No phone number

No privacy policy

No security policy

I'm not saying your website/store isn't legit. I'm saying that as a reasonably cautious consumer I'm careful about sharing my credit card information on the web, and your site doesn't have many of the things I look for to establish legitimacy.

Cool shirts in any case.

IIRC it's a name that was on the cheapest, sketchiest RC car parts that the Hongs could find.

Of the choices, I like the Run DMC version.
I had really hoped for the more classic "round peg in square hole."
