Description: Vintage Flag design featuring the P-80 Shooting Star aircraft. The Lockheed P-80 Shooting Star was the first jet fighter used operationally by the United States Army Air Forces. That's right, it first flew in 1944- before the US Air Force even existed as a branch! The P-80 would quickly be replaced during the Korean War by the famed F-86 Sabre, however a trainer version would live on until well into the 1980s in the form of the T-33 Shooting Star jet trainer.
Description: Racer X is a heroic, mysterious, flamboyant, selfless, sympathetic and often brooding soldier of fortune. His true identity is Rex Racer (三船 研一, Mifune Ken'ichi), the eldest son of Mom and Pops Racer and the older brother of Speed and Spritle. His 'Racer X' moniker is actually a play on his own first name Rex. Years before the start of the series, when Rex was 18 years old (Speed's current age), he had a falling out with Pops after wrecking the Mach One (the first car Pops ever built) at the end of his first race as a professional driver (seen in flashbacks throughout the series). Racer X drives the number 9 car, the Shooting Star.
Description: A monochrome minimalist design featuring a white shooting star with a bright core against a black background. The shooting star is positioned within a partial white circle, suggesting an orbit or celestial path. Above the circle, there are depictions of lunar phases: a crescent moon, a full moon, and smaller circles representing planets or moons. At the bottom, the first 10 letters of the alphabet, 'ABCDEFGHI', are displayed in white block lettering.
