Sorry, i couldn't resist. After all, we're all adults here.
Well, maybe not.

Before anyone else posts the Polish cycling team photo - please know that the forum admins have seen it (way too many times) and have deemed it to violate forum guidelines. Please don't post it.
Thank you.
Thank you.

I looked for rules and didn't see any regarding the picture... I respect your decision and will now go sit in the corner.

No worries. I was going to quietly delete it, but realized afterward that without a comment, someone else would post it up again.
And those Colombian jerseys are "unfortunate".

Thanks Joe.
Some forums are the Wild West and others run a tight ship. I'm a mod on a number of vintage VW forums and also use events such as this as a "teaching opportunity".
On the original topic, I wonder what they were thinking when the design was approved, was shown to the ladies, were shown to the public and to the sponsors.
At first I thought it was a stupid design and didn't know what's the big deal with it. Then I saw another picture from a distance and it really looks like they're naked.

That's not a jersey, that's a skin suit.

calling the mens 'the Polish Keilbasa cycling team' maybe they will be sponsored by this festival to race in Minneapolis?

I read in the newspaper this morning that the UCI is trying to ban the team kit. I wonder why!

Why can't young women resist the urge to look like hookers?

Ignoring the 'naked' aspect, that is a totally inept combination of colors.
The pale yellow-tan is completely out of place with the strong red/yellow/white.
Next time they should choose a designer who isn't color-blind.

The problem lies in Puritanism.
