I do wear "jerseys" in the sense that they are modern dry-wick athletic gear jerseys. I must have 8 or so of them, paying an average of around $7-$8 each for them. Most are the Champion C9 jerseys from Target. I like them a lot.

But I don't own anything with a team logo or design on it. They aren't my style, and frankly, would look ridiculous out on the bike trail. Nobody on the trail is wearing that kind of gear. One could get away wearing something funny, or maybe a Wisconsin jersey, but if you are on a limestone bike trail, riding a hybrid, wearing a Discovery kit, nothing could scream "Poseur!" any more loudly.

I actually do have a pair of black baggy shorts with a Wisconsin "W" on them. I admit that these feel a little "gaudy" to me when I wear them.
