"Do you think someone will make a stink over a crappy T shirt?", pun intended.

Circles, font, color...... may not be copywritten if they are not identified as such. Even then there is a fine line between what is yours & what is not. An altered logo is just that, not the original. The Crapwear is not a copy of any other product or made for sale as another similar product, Rolex - Bolex.
It's Crapwear...... Posters, demonstrations, ralleys to support Crapwear?

For everyone wanting the ULTIMATE CRAP ... a rumour is that JCW has now outsourced all its SMALL CF bits to ... none other than ..... Porsche.

For a mere $150 you can have one of these.

Bummer.

If you need realy quality high end crap and smoke a cigar at the same time, Porsche wins. Maybe you need the matching watch too, this way you know exactly how much that time you spent.

Now I'm interested....

It would be a treat to see a JCW-hittney only modded MINI. Just think curb feelers, musical airhorns, HP oil treatments , cut in sun roofs , baby moon wheel covers, hood scoops! Forget all of these Nam vendors......its JCW-hittney time!

Not to mention all the other cool stuff, lake pipes, exhaust cut outs, cruser skirts, continental kits, wheel spinners..... Do you have power robbing, gas guzziling, oil burning components? No problem.... JCW-hittney...... says it all

Pimpstar Wheels...

Hey, that's a thought. We could go up to Unique Whips up in Long Island and have him custom makes some 19" spinners with the Mr. Hanky Logo. Woot!
