Swix brand racing suit. The suit is mostly black with a textured hexagonal pattern across it, a short collar, and a zipper that extends from the waist up to the neck. The left should has a red and white striped pattern and the right shoulder has a white star pattern against a blue backdrop, meant to look like the American flag. The same pattern extends across the legs at an angle with the stars above the stripes. There is a decorative band across the chest with text that reads, "USA/ E - PLURIBUS - UNUM" and a small stylized version of the American flag with stars and stripes, similar to the pattern on the shoulders. This design has a thin white border line above and below it. On the right arm are the vertical letters "USA" in white near the wrist and the left arm has "Swix" printed across the forearm also in white.Context
