Road Cycling - Cool Jersey wish list ideas?

I need to put together a Christmas wish list and I need some ideas for jerseys to put on the list.

Suggestions?

Thanks

Check out the Republic of Anaerobia website: http://www.anaerobia.com/

It's on my wishlist, along with an ONCE jersey.

caloso... those are some sweet jerseys... and if you get the whole kit for $125, with a water bottle, and bibs and stuff.. that is a pretty good deal !

There should be an addiction called jerseyitis...I like some kit gear... Like my Bonjour jersey.. Would also like to have the Once jersey gear also.
One of my favorite jerseys this season is my new Voler jersey.."Bike to Work" with a car inside a circle with the diagonal line meaning to stomp out cars.
For Christmas been ogling at the University of Michigan jersey/sock combination shown in Nashbar catalogue..

That is one fine looking jersey. I've been thinking of getting one for a while, myself. What I'd really like, though, is an Iowa jersey. Black and yellow with the coolest logo ever. Too bad I can't find one anywhere. Anybody here have some pull with U of Iowa and can get them to make or authorize the making of a jersey?

Most universities has a sports store at the athetic office. The money helps support its teams..Bet U of Ia has one.

How about the US domestic team Jelly Belly, I like their jersey and bib shorts combo, I saw them in the latest world cycling productions cateloge, but they are still selling each item for 100 buck, kind of expensive, but I guess it has something to do with the 7 color dye sublimation process, exte ondo had to use...Maybe they'll go on sale when the new ones come out..

caadman,

Check out www.bicyclinghub.com they have jellybelly
jersey and shorts on sale (less that $100). They are an
Etxe-Ondo distributor so they have good selection.
Top of my wish list is a Cinzano wool jersey, maybe
a trainer (wool).
I have a CSC jersey, its my only team kit, but then I work for them :D

That is a nice looking kit. Does anyone know the quality of this, I don't recall reading the clothing manufacter htey use.
What does "Veni, vidi, vomiti" mean?

Hey thanks Lotek for the link, I'll check them out and see if they have my size..

Thanks again,
Benjamin

I believe it is "I came, I saw, I vomited" a takeoff of the old "Veni, Vidi, Vici" I came, I saw, I conquered...

I came, I saw, I vomited (a parody of a statement attributed to Julius Caesar: Veni, Vidi, Vici, I came, I saw, I counquered).

Very cool, I didn't know that. Thank you much!

this looks really good with a red bike! http://www.clifbar.com/shop/gear.cfm?location=shop

Holy crap, I've actually found it. I've already tried looking through the University page, but they didn't have a link to the cycling page anywhere on their athletics page. Fortunately, I managed to google for their cycling page. If anyone else thinks Hawks rule, check it out: http://www.uiowa.edu/~cycling/jerseyvote.htm

They have links towards the bottom for the jersey/shorts designs.

Anyone get the Velo Gear catalogue for Christmas gifts.
The jerseys are pretty cool..The red poka dot Quick Step jersey would be on the list.Along with Univ. of Mich...Would like have the Molteni winter jersey.. Another jersey I saw I really liked was on the cover of Bicycling mag a couple months ago..The "Assos" team jersey looks really cool...!Would like to have that...
But for a frivilious christmas gift to whomever... Sick people are supposedly interested in 'Bobblehead' doll like figures..Velo is selling a Fausto Coppi 'Bobblehead.' Anyone interested.? Give that to your favorite cyclists for his/her reaction...I would like to know how that goes...
Gift I could not say no to...No jerseys, but a yellow bike polo shirt and a Cyclists tie , red and black with road bikes on it.. This is my source for Christmas cards celebrating bikes...that I hope to receive in time for Christmas...
I was able to say no to another jersey..For Christmas my main gift from my wife will be "Time " road shoes...If only I could sell her on bike gifts for her hybrid..
Guess have to give in and buy her clothes for work...dam.

Wow. My wife is an Iowa grad, and more of a biker than I am (at least until very recently). I might have to get that Hawkeye jersey for her.

It looks like these may not deliver until February, though, if I read their info on the website correctly. Anyone have better/different information??

That's right. Send her to work to earn money so you can buy more bike stuff. Great idea. :D

WOW that Hawkeye gear is nice. Makes me wish I was a IU fan.... :p

Yeah, the February delivery is right. Basically, they work like my collegiate and any other collegiate team as far as uniforms: we don't have a huge budget, so can't just buy a ton of stuff, then keep it on hand in case somebody wants it. Instead, we set up custom printing with a dealer, then everyone on the team says what they want. Then we open it up to anyone else who wants anything. We set a time limit for when they can place an order, then order everything at once. The dealer prints everything, then ships it off. A couple months ins a reasonable turnaround time. No returns/refunds since we can't return stuff to the dealer since it's already printed.

Ahh the joys of being involved in a sport that's not popular enough to be varsity and command a huge budget.

Oh, and if people are interested, I can post a pic of the gear when it comes so you can see what it looks like in real life.

All that talk about Iowa kit made me look the cycling club of my alma mater: http://calcycling.org/photos/2002-2003_Clothing/. I may have to ask Santa to swing by Berkeley...

Apparently Blue and Yellow is a common combo for colleges. Mine, Michigan's, Berkeley. Makes sense, though; they look so good together.

Bought my wife a hybrid bike...She won't ride..So I have to go out alone..Guess I will have to find something other than work clothes..I am one of those complaining spouses who wish the spouse would ride with me, rather than complain about how much time I am on the bike..
Oh, well, all the bike gear is mine..

in heaven there is no beer.....thats why i drink it here.... i've already ordered my hawkeye jersey.

ahhh.. the yellow jersey......

I ordered the Hawkeye jersey for my wife, the IA alum.
(I'm a fellow Big Ten alum, but the Illinois cycling club, alas and alack, has no cool Fighting Illini jersey in blue & orange - a missed opportunity.)

So I'll need to crib together a card with the graphic of her Hawkeye jersey still in process for Christmas, or surprise her with it for Valentine's Day, instead.

My dad's an alum of UI, too, so I got him a pair of shorts (he prefers wearing looser fit shirts while riding, otherwise I'd've gotten him a jersey). I think he'll really enjoy them.

As a former employee of UMich, I've thought of getting the jersey... but then I think back to my days as an employee of UMich and so I decided against it. :p

The jersey I really wanted to get was the old Primal Wear with the alien but it's no longer made. However, the latest alien jersey (http://www.primalwear.com/productpages/mensjereyspages/aliennation.htm) looks pretty cool too. I'm also quite fond of this one too (http://www.primalwear.com/productpages/mensjereyspages/quackdup.htm).

I love Primal Wear jerseys. Most road bikers don't wear them for some reason, but I love their designs. I'm debating whether to get that duck jersey (http://www.primalwear.com/productpages/mensjereyspages/quackdup.htm) or the old "Hello Kitty" jersey (http://www.nashbar.com/profile_moreimages.cfm?category=&subcategory=&sku=8533&brand=1630) (I like jerseys with animals on them -- my favorite was an old Primal Wear "Poison Frog" jersey but I trashed it in a crash this past April :( ).

Man am I digging up a zombie thread...

But I'm trying to locate a Hello Kitty jersey, and I think this is the ONLY reference to one on the entire interent....

Going to try posting in the wanted to buy section, but if anyone ever reads this that has one, or knows where to get one, you could make my day by posting something here about it.
