Short answer, no. Any sport shirt you buy these days is made with good moisture wicking material. Since gas reached $2 permanently and I started riding more for transportation, I started using golf and tennis shirts more often because they look better when I get where I am going. They wick moisture as well and the aerodynamics of a skin tight shirt are just plain over rated if you don't race.
