General Cycling Discussion - Jerseys

What type of jerseys do you wear? I don't mean the brand, but plain, team jerseys, LBS jerseys...?

How many wear the U.S. Postal team uniform, to include the bibs?

I ride with either a plane blue/black/yellow one or an old 7-Eleven jersey.

Three, I take great pride in... My jersey for the Tour across Nevada, a jersey with the California Bear flag insigna on it, and finally the Voler jersey I have...."Bike to Work,"jersey..With the symbol for stamping out cars....A deplodated car with the circle and black line running through the circle and over the auto.
That tells those arrogrant motorists who don't respect cyclists.

Three here as well. One with my alma mater letters - it was pricey. The other two from ebay. I like brightly colored jerseys that have some type of design. As far a manufacturer, I don't have a preference. What I really want to get is a nice long sleeve wool for cool weather riding. They're just a bit too pricey though.

I have two Bike Forums jerseys, a few fluorescent/neon yellow jerseys (for visibility), a red/blk/yellow/blue jersey from Performance, a blue/black/white Voler jersey, a PI Celestial Seasonings jersey, etc.
No team jerseys, no LBS jerseys, no plain single color jerseys.

I considering a patriotic theme jersey from Voler.

"Ride the Rockies" - 1999

A plain blue long-sleeved Jersey WITH A HOOD - best invention ever for cooler days. Don't know why there are not more jerseys with hoods??

A black and yellow generic Nashbar

One with lots of "gears and other mechanical stuff" that other folks seem to really like.

One yellow sleeveless for "those" days.

And one very light red one with shoulder straps for "those those" days.

I also keep a red one and shorts at the condo.


Gave my RTR 1998 to my wife
Gave my Bike Forums to my wife (too small)

Usually I wear my racing club jersey.

I would be embarassed to wear a current/recent pro team kit. The only pro jersey I have is the old La Vie Claire jersey like Greg Lemond and Bernard Hinault wore.

I don't have any LBS jerseys.

I have about 10-12 other jerseys (I never throw out any of the good ones, so I still have some nice old wool jerseys from the '80s).

I've got 9 jerseys, 2 solid colors, 1 club jersey, 3 flag style jerseys, 2 mtb jerseys.

No Team Jerseys.

My favorite: Harpoon IPA

I have 1 Bike Forums jersey, and 4 yellow solid color (1 Hind, 1 Canari, 2 Voler) short sleeve jerseys, also 2 yellow coolmax tees, 1 orange coolmax tee, & 2 red coolmax tees that I only wear if I'm sure it is going to be bright daylight for the whole ride. For winter I have a lavender Terry wool long sleeve jersey. It can break the "yellow rule" because I top it with a yellow shell.

Colorfull colors but nothing else.

I have a Fassa Bortolo, a team Telecom, old style banesto, San Diego CycloVets, a Derosa Jersey, 2 Pinarello Jersey, Mercatone Uno, a Canondale Jersey, and some just plain colored jersey and still planing to buy more jersey...... hope, the wife will not notice it

Plain yellow for commuting.

An Australian jersey for weekend rides.

Just about to pick up this year's Elephant Rock Century jersey next Sunday at the ride...

Usually whatever is available from the Cannibal factory outlet when I decide to buy one.

I have jerseys from rides I've participated in, jerseys featuring humorous or clever designs and just plain jerseys. I'm also a sucker for decent quality jerseys at low prices (~$30). I scour the LBSes around here for closeouts. I don't have any LBS jerseys but I'd consider wearing one from the two I prefer most as they have treated me well.

Tierra Bella 25th aniv. (Century ride)
Tierra Bella 2004 (Century ride)
Cisco System (Freebie)
Plain red
Plain Yellow
Navy blue Caetellini
I probably forgot one or two :)

Cisco System (Freebie)

Whoa! Cisco was giving out free cycling jerseys? How the hell did I miss getting one? And I worked for one of their biggest customers.

Im way to cheap to pay for a nice team jersey so I just wear the performance house brand jersey. Cheap, brightly colored so all the motorists can see me(haha I wish!) and it's pretty comfortable.

I have a very brightly colored Ben & Jerry's (of ice cream fame) jersey. Not only does it make it okay to walk into a Ben & Jerry's after a ride, it is highly visible when I'm on the road.

I've got probably 30-40 jerseys that range from solid color Castelli jerseys to my team jerseys/kits to euro team jerseys from the early 90s until maybe 02 and also some wool jerseys from the 70s.

The only postal piece I own is a winter weight jacket. It's nice because it has the standard 3 pocket arrangement in the rear rather than zippered pockets like most of my other riding jackets.

I say ride with whatever jersey you want, if people have issues with it, too bad for them. If you want a postal kit, buy one and make no apologies for it.

I own no team jerseys. Some odd and ends brands that I find here and there. Heck in the summer I throw on a cotton tank top and that works great for me. I see tons of trek full outfits.

I'm currently rocking a:

Orange County Rebel Riders Club Jersey
Pittsburgh Masters Velo Club Jersey
Volkswagen Bug Orange Jersey
Plain Red Supergo Jersey
Bronze looking Supergo sleeveless Jersey
Supergo Long Sleeve jersey

Well, Cisco give away nothing for free. A good friend who works there gave it to me. I believe any one can go into th company store and buy one..

Hmmm... I've still got a few friends left there. I should ask them to get me one. I've got plenty of free Cisco propaganda-wear (t-shirts, button-down shirts, boxer shorts, bags, big "Cisco Powered Network" banner which I hang in my garage, etc) from various sources such as the sales rep/account manager assigned to my previous employer and from various trade shows but I don't have a jersey. I wonder how my current employer would regard me wearing one as we're technically a competitor... or rather we enable Cisco's competitors.

Just lately, I sense I am riding enough that I think my jerseys are fitting better...I did not mention another of my favorites...Bike Forums..Reason, don't wear it much..Surgoi jerseys run small...I was warned...Did not buy a larger size..Lose a couple more lbs. and Might see me in Bike Forums' yellow, blue and green..When I can wear it, it will be a favorite.
Besides those mentioned..I own a Bonjou and Credit Agricoe jersey..Reason, I pray not to be a poser.. Am Proud to wear it...They are Favorite teams...Chavanel now, and at the time. Julich were team members...Besides, while in France riding, felt good to advertise 'bonjour' to all. It worked..A freindly gesture that got us invited to have lunch/dinner with locals that we met..
Another jersey that got their attention was my California Republic jersey. Suspected I wasn't a local and asked questions.

My racing club jersey

Bought one of these for the big ride on July 4.

Three jerseys. All plain colors: red, gray and white.

Voler has a jersey you can get with any state flag/emblem on it. Check for the SC one here:

it looks like this..

I've got a bunch of Euro team jerseys I bought from probikekit.com: Mercatone Uno, Roma, Winfix.de. Plain blue and plain white Nike jerseys. For winter I've got a superwarm longsleeve Giordana jersey.

And I'm waiting for my Cal Cycling Club jersey to arrive from Berkeley (stupid college kids! :))
