I know this is discussed a lot, but it is baffling to me how the NYRR race tops get uglier and uglier. I have thrown every single one out since 2023 (and of course generally have stopped collecting them). Can't for the life of me work out how it has been getting worse, unless NYRR are stuck with a long-term design contract they can't get out of.

Or is there a chance that the ugliness is intentional, so that people are more inclined to buy the proper merch that is for sale?
