Kit or plain
Do you wear pro kits or plain jersey? I think Pro kits look the best.

I don't mind what anyone else wears. I like to wear 'vintage' team jerseys.
My favourite for winter (Here in Australia) is my fleecy lined Gan jersey.

Blast from the Past
Ususally wear stuff from a couple of old teams I rode for. Do have a few plain jerseys from the unattached days. Somehow riding in Team gear seems a little tacky. Although I have to agree with mezza about the vintage stuff. Kind of neat to see someone show up for a ride wearing an old Z jersey, or a 7-11.

You should have made this thread multiple-choice. I think about half of my jersey collection is plain, about half are BF's, Beer, etc and I have one pro-team (Health Net) jersey.

I wouldn't be opposed to wearing a Sierra Nevada jersey since they make great beer, but otherwise, I don't do commercial endorsements for free !

I have a random mix of plain stuff, event jerseys, one pro team jersey, a high-viz yellow jersey (for commuting). I've got some shorts with my bike shop logo, and some that are plain black. So, I don't know what to choose on the poll....

I have:
2 plain jerseys (1 long 1 short)
1 Spaghettios Jersey
1 Froot Loops Jersey
1 Shrek Jersey
1 Diabetes Tour de Cure Jersey
1 Team Jersey (Selle Italia)
I prefer the 3 silly jerseys but that's just my character

I voted plain, but really depends on my mood. I ride in my BikeForums jersey fairly often just to show it off. Plus it is the brightest color short sleeve jersey I own which is good for smaller group rides for visablity.
Here's my newest "plain" jersey that I bought Friday night for the HHH yesterday:

I wonder what the pros would wear if they weren't being paid to wear jerseys advertising their sponsors.

I'll wear anything as long as I'm comfortable. I have pro jerseys in my drawers and I could care less if I am not the strongest rider in the world. They sell them for a reason; so people like myself buy a few.

I voted other. The USAF as a cycling team that does the RAGBRAI every year. It is made up of 100 riders and a similar sized support group. I haven't done the RAGBRAI due to scheduling issues but I have the kit for each of the last three years. It isn't a Pro cycling team but I do represent the USAF on a regular, say 24/7/365, basis so I figure I'm not going out on limb regarding poseur status. The matching jersey, shorts, socks, and gloves do start down the road to true OCP-dom but I figure I have to get my bike painted to match the jet to really go off the deep end.

I like to buy Jerseys from stores I visit while travelling for work. I have them from all over the world, as long as I like the stores design and the brand it is made on I buy them.
There are not many PLAIN solid jerseys for sale that have a good fit, they are usually for big gut fits.
