Ok we have a wicked crazy Starter brand sweatshirt. It features a rodeo theme with pop art style line drawing of a rodeo rider in blue, red, yellow and gray. On the left sleeve there is a patch that says "GO WEST" and on the right sleeve there is a vertical line of rifles going down the arm. Do not ask why--ask how--HOW can you pass this up!?
