WilliamsF1: Old School Style

WilliamsF1 announced today a new partnership with Dutch clothing design company MacGregor.  The clothier will be responsible for the design of an all new team uniform as well as as a custom clothing line for the 500+ factory staff.

One of the first projects announced for the three year partnership is the introduction of a retro collection to commemorate the team’s 30 years in F1. The retro line will highlight the WilliamsF1 team’s colors, logos and designs from some of the most famous and successful WilliamsF1 cars of the past 30 years.   WilliamsF1 have had several distinctive liveries over the years including the Saudia, Camel and Rothmans eras that all produced championships for the team.

The WilliamsF1 partnership is not the first foray into Formula one for the Dutch company. MacGregor was responsible for the design of the now defunct Spyker F1 team’s race wear.  If the previous designs for Spyker are any indication of where the new partnership will go,  WilliamsF1 fans may soon be amongst the most stylish in the paddock.
