paul jr designs
I am a big fan of the TV show American Choppers® and have followed Paul Teutul Jr since the break up with his dad’s company and the launching of his new company Paul Jr. Designs. I covered his new company / website launch back in October 2009.
AT that time, the site focused on selling Hats and T-Shirts displaying the new Paul Jr Designs logo and some of Mikey Teutul’s artwork. It also featured some of Paul’s work that he did for The Coleman Company. The site had some video of what Pauly and Mikey were up to on a reality TV level. Then, the site pretty much went idle. The site then went to a Coming Soon design with Paul Jr standing in front of a business garage door opening up with sparks flying out.
This gave many fans of Pauly a hint that he may be opening a fabrication shop, which likely would roll out custom choppers!
Then The Learning Channel started running promo ads for American Chopper again although it was stated last year in the season ending show that the show was done… The new promo’s state the show was coming back and still uses the American Chopper moniker but now includes Senior Vs Junior!
I have been keeping an eye on PaulJrDesigns.com and was a bit surprised the site stayed with the Coming Soon landing page, even with the show’s promos running. A lot of people were looking for the site and news on Pauly!
Well, the site has once again gone live of at least today! One day prior to the new TV show American Choppers: Senior Vs Junior airing on TLC.
The website has some new “home page” graphics, but once clicking on the big image on the site to enter, the rest of the site pretty much looks the same as back in October with some new images, yet offers the same type of items as in the past. Paul Jr Designs Apparel. No sign of any kind of custom motorcycles or even text unless you read the following line of text on the Paul Jr Designs About page: “In 2010, after taking some time off, Paul Jr. will be returning to his “first love”, building custom choppers for Paul Jr. Designs.”
