team jerseys

[dr snuggles]

Thanks to everyone for their opinions. I must say I'm pleasantly surprised as I thought more people might be against it.
Based on the replies I've received I'll wear it cos I like it and never intended to dress like a pro.
Thanks

If you bother about what the arses say then through the fingers up....me personally I wear anything from my saints top to a cannondale replica.....never bothered me......just enjoy riding

Do I have to justify my ASDA Y-fronts?

Surely ASDA Y-fronts need more justification than replica team kit

I buy tops that stand out.A bit different,i want to be noticed,by motorists.

Simple answer if you like how it looks and it fits then wear it. I mix between team kits branded kits normal clothing and cheap cycle kit. And I wear them because I like them

My first jersey was the Molteni black jersey from Prendas. Totally because I just liked the retro look to it, but in modern fabrics. Still love it.

Now I know the history, it just adds to my enjoyment...but I certainly don't believe I am Eddy!

Anyone who thinks that people think they are the rider, just by buying the replica jersey, deserve to carry the ridicule in my mind.

On the other hand, I have a personal taste problem with gambling. I hate the idea of money for nothing, and feel the whole gambling business does more harm in society than good. My personal moral choice would reject a shirt that advertised gambling. Doubtless there are people with similar moral objections to (say) booze adverts on shirts.

AG2R is a French Insurance company, so would you say they are gamblers as they gamble with other people's money??

I wouldn't wear a champions jersey of any description because i'm not very good, i would get called out multiple times daily.

Wearing team kit is like turning up at 5-a-side in a replica football shirt. Quite normal.

Wearing the yellow jersey or the world champtionship bands, is like turning up at 5-a-side with a little model of the FA Cup.

Exactly, that's why I wear a jersey of a relative obscure (in this country) team instead.

Do I have to justify my ASDA Y-fronts? No. Good.

You wear Y - Fronts??
