Best/Worst of... local team kits
On the Montrose ride today, I was able to see many teams/kits I hadn't seen before. I love seeing the variety -- every conceivable design and color combination. Teams without a myriad of sponsors have a small advantage here, but that goes with the territory.
Of course, with that kind of diversity, you're bound to have a some failures along with the personal favorites. Just curious what yours are? Best or worst -- we understand it's just personal preference, no one will be offended if you're tactful. And we're always tactful around here.

LaGrange has the best kits. It's patriotic and if you hate the LG kits, you hate America.
Oh, and I like the kit on the Team Ironfly guy I see every Wednesday on Via Del Monte. I especially likes how it makes his legs look, and his backside, and his arms....

I forgot about this, but I use to be a member of the Colavita So Cal club out in Simi. Here is what their old kit looked like (yes, I still have the one I'm wearing in the first photo) and the new one. I'm partial to them less for the kit than the group. Nicest guys.

I really liked that Arroyo one we saw today, Vance - what a great, understated, retro look it had. Sign me up for that one!
I also like Helen's kit - too bad they aren't sponsored by Specialized (and I don't own a John Deere), so I'd feel awkward rocking it.
Bearclaw also has a sweet kit, and a wonderful sense of humor on their website to boot!
