I thought it was a USAC rule that you had to wear your national champ colors.

That's looking damn close, but I see the red/white/blue background on the RR crest.

It's subtle, but notice the difference between the sleeves of his jersey and those of the other Rock rider. Stars + stripes.
*edit* oops, crossed a bunch of posts.

Yeah, but I thought that's what you wore when you're a former, not current, national champ. See, e.g., Hincapie, G.

The detail on sleeves/collars is for past national (and world) champs. See G. Hincapie for example:

Maybe Tyler's twin is wearing the more dramatic jersey this week?

It's more than tradition, it's a rule:
USA Cycling Rulebook
1N5.(e)(4):
Riders or teams that create their own National Champions jerseys must have the design approved by USA Cycling. The design concept must include a blue field with stars on the top half of the jersey and vertical red and white stripes on the bottom half of the jersey. All National Champion’s jerseys must comply with UCI rules for advertising as follows:
* Front and back of the jersey in a rectangle 10 cm high
* On the shoulders or sleeves in a single line a maximum of 5 cm high
* On the sides of the jersey in a band 9 cm wide.

1B5. Violations of Rules
(a) Penalties. The following actions may be taken when USA Cycling regulations are broken (in general order of increasing severity): warning, fine, relegation, disqualification, suspension. Riders may be disqualified from all subsequent events in a race series held under a single event permit for a period of up to 10 days. (b) Recommended penalties for first offenses under normal circumstances are listed below and throughout these rules within brackets. Subsequent offenses of the same type by the same rider within a year of the last such offense should receive greater penalties.
(c) A rider who is disqualified for a medical control infraction must promptly return any prizes and primes won in the event, though this obligation shall be stayed while a hearing is pending.
(d) Fines issued to riders or teams must be paid to USA Cycling directly. Riders who fail to submit their fine within 15 days shall be suspended per USA Cycling Policy IV (see Appendices). Fines shall be used to fund junior development programs.
(e) Category A and B road events shall use the current UCI schedule of fines and penalties [UCI article 12.1.040 "other events"].

And RR created one. Look at the r/w/b crests and the arm bands.

Nobody is suggesting they didn’t –well other than you in the OP. He was only clarifying that your “It’s more than tradition, it’s a rule” comment was in error.

It's not like they didn't do a red, white, and blue version of the kit:
This is what you'd expect him to be wearing.

My tradition/rule comment was based on an interpretation that nafun intended to communicate Rock Racing's deviation from tradition by not going with the "captain america" design. As it turns out, "captain america" is a rule. Albeit a new one.
