That's nice, but the coolest ever is a pretty high bar.
Even nominating from my personal collection, I'm torn between several.
Maybe this one.

Though i also enjoy... with matching socks.

The most graphic jersey I've seen (I don't own it)

And, from history, my favorite racing jersey (I wish I had one)
I love the graphics

For Curtis - there is no excuse for you not to own that La Vie Claire jersey (and I agree it's a good one):

And my nominee - Belgian national champ hersey - simply too cool for school. (It should be arriving at my door any day now:thumb:)

I LOVE this jersey.
I also kind of like this one, although not as much as Astana one. ;)

Except for it being $81 plus shipping and customs....
And Greg Lemond said he'd kick my butt if he found I was wearing his jersey.

Where can I get that CCCP - Soviet Union one? It would be perfect for an evil-empire plan I'm hatching....

I think that one is horrible. For a multitude of reasons.
I almost bought the crash test dummy one once, but my buddies convinced me it would invoke baaaaaad voodoo.
..and possibly motivate drivers who would otherwise be on the fence about whether or not to hit me.
I almost bought the CCCP one before, but I thought some driver would intentionally hit me. I just think it is cool. Although, I might actually have to buy this one http://www.cyclegarb.com/metropolisjersey.html

Just hang with Bernard Hinault - he'll protect you from Lemond. ;)

I haven't seen it in years, but Nashbar once sold a jersey that said "Sponsored by Nobody".

Here's a similar idea: http://unattachedrider.com/index.htm

Love the jersey, love the photo. mmmmmm, bacon.
That is a great picture! Clearly an unattached rider trying to demonstrate skill in hopes of being picked up by a big name team... right?

No, it's how unattached riders have to support themselves. I mean, it's tough out there.

I think that one is horrible. For a multitude of reasons.
For color, graphics, simplicity, etc., it is way cool. Unfortuantely, the historical significance more than overshadows all that and makes a Club Stalin jersey a "no go" for me. If someone else wants to wear one, I have no problem with it. I just don't think I'd want that many millions of ghosts following me around, if you catch my drift . . . .

The "Sheila Moon" in the sig above reminded me.
This may not the coolest ever. But I sure thought it was nice. Nice enough I bought it for MyLilPony, and I never attempt to buy her clothes.
