First Full Team Kit W**ker Ride

[yello]

There are certainly more worthy causes to rage against. People in team kit isn't up there for me. Around here, most of the local clubs have kit adorned with sponsors names so, for me, there's little difference between a rider in club kit and one in FWK. Both are advertising hoardings that pledge allegiance.

So football shirts worn by the masses, who have quite possibly never kicked a ball since school, is acceptable?

No it is not. The ponce quotient is equally high.

User is a big fan of Eddie the eagle, and has started wearing bottle top glasses and a gormless expression in order to emulate his hero.

Does anyone on here wander round in public dressed as Elvis? Are then any wrestling fans who stroll round in public wearing a leotard? Any ballroom dancing enthusiasts who nip up the shop in a sequined ball gown? This dressing up as your hero malarkey seems to be a strange phenomenon largely consigned to cyclists. What drives people to such strange behaviour?

I dont do any of the above, bit i also dont wear my cycling kit shopping etc

I wear it when riding my bike. So your anology above is a rather futile one

I could spend a small fortune on retro team jerseys. Absolutely love 'em.

My favourites too. I much prefer jersey's from the sixties to the eighties compared to today's kit, though I do like the AG2R outfit.

Sky kit looks awful.

Absolutely. I'm going to have a little spend up with Prendas at the end of the month. Got my eye on three or four! And I'm definitely getting the Z jersey when they get stock in July.

Just bought a one piece race suit (skinsuit, call it what you want) with NO back pockets, proper hardcore or what?
It's in the old "Uk youth" team colours from around 2011 I think, I didn't even know what that team was untill I googled it after I bought it, and apparently its Nigel Mansell's old team.
Anyway I just wanted a suit to use on TT's and this one seemed to fit the bill being only £45 brand new and made by GSG in Italy.
(I've already used it on other rides aswell as a TT......I couldn't resist).

i wear whats comfortable, had a 1997? festina team top , grew out of it , and flogged it on fleabay for many dollar !

Ahem. I may not be the fastest cyclist round here, but now I'm doing more than I've ever done in my life, and even though I am a notorious tightwad, I have recently found myself occasionally out on the bicycle attired in what I call 'proper cycling kit'. It IS ok isn't it, if it's all marked 'Crane' and none of the colours actually match each other because you've bought them every now and then on the 'Specialbuys' Thursday over a three year period?? #team-aldi

I like nice design.I happen to own 3 Morvelo tops as they seem to "hit the spot" with my preferences. If a team kit hit the same spot, I'd wear it!

When I was a mere slip of a boy I bought myself a beautiful Peugeot bike whilst on holiday in France (we used to go most years and the bikes were cheaper over there). The following year I was an age where my parents felt they could trust me to be home alone so I asked if they would get me a Peugeot Team cycling top, no probs they replied. Their time away dragged on and on as I was so excited about getting my genuine French Peugeot Team top to wear on my genuine French Peugeot bike.
Eventually they arrived home and I was at them before they'd had a chance to put their cases down. However they had forgotten to get my Peugeot top so instead they had bought me a Stenna ferries t-shirt on the boat coming home, it never got worn
Wear your team kit with pride (Team Aldi for me)

 

[roadrash]

here we go again............ wear what you like and like what you wear ...........

i dont mock anybody for what they wear while cycling and dont give a shite if anyone mocks me , it seems to me people who mock others for wearing something they wouldnt wear themselves are pillocks of the highest order , here endeth the lesson for today.

I'm of roadie and MTB persuasion, partaking in both whilst wearing lycra team kit*. I couldn't give less of a stuff what people wear, but if anyone knows the girlie I passed a few weeks back who was wearing TDF leader jersey/shorts and rather skimpy yet highly visible black underwear,

I'd like to know her name


ps: keep up the good work. Cycling forums need at least 1 team kit/disc brake/105 vs ultegra thread per week in order to function.

pps: * I'm in the team

Pants under lycra? Avoid

 

[w00hoo_kent]

Sounds like they'd let her wash first...
