That is good. Very good!

That goes for cycling clothes, too. I would *never* wear anything with a team/sponsor/etc. logo on it, unless it was my own. Why would anyone want to advertise for a company that has no interest in you?
Amen!

I rarely ride in a t-shirt because I like plain long sleeve shirts. I don't pay attention to what words others are wearing on their backs or chests because people wear whatever they have and may get paid to wear such shirts.
