Since just being in eyesight of people with small minds is enough to set them off; I don't give a rat's rear and wear what I like. Wool Maglia Rosa, retina-burning Euskaltel orange, or my collection of Team Discovery jerseys; it's all good. Never had a problem with rednecks or otherwise, and Alabama certainly has its share.
Tandem riders wear matching jerseys; I've never seen them without them. So why not happily married couples? Wear them with pride.

Whatever count you get, increase it by one any time I am there.
I may live in PA, but I own a small piece of land in Auburn... at the Mountain View Cemetery.

marqueemoon posts here, but he's actually in Seattle...
and that's just off the top of my head.
Not including Little Darwin, although we are trying to coax him to come and visit his mum, and preferably not before he takes that final ride out to MVC
!
Perhaps I need to put up a thread to see how many of us C & V South Puget Sounders are really here?

Interestingly, I too have a couple in pink dress shirts in my wardrobe---and yet I would feel self conscious wearing that rapha number---however, it does look awesome, I agree.
It's a europe vs usa thing. They have heroes like Morrissey and we have John Wayne. Over there, it just the rapha jersey just looks cool and I bet nobody thinks twice about it.

When I was racing sailboats, we would strive to all have the same shirt on for races. I even crewed for one owner that would supply crew shirts at the start of the season and expected you to show up at his boat with yours on.
I see nothing wrong with a husband and wife having matching attire for sporting activity.

Personally, my wife & I have never done this, not even on our tandem, but when I've seen other couples dressed the same I haven't had negative reactions or anything.

just a little off topic but to show how oddball things can be fun. When we found out Wal-Mart was open 24 hrs we decided to go check it out one Saturday at 1:00 am during the Christmas shopping season. We took a nap that evening to make sure we would be able to stay awake and then went there. It was a total blast to see how many people actually shop that time of the night. We even bought some stuff ourselves. Our high school senior thought we were nuts but hey maybe we are but that's the kind of stuff we do sometimes and have a lot of fun doing it. Hey I figure I'm almost 55 I have a right to act immature. and I bet that kid of ours will remember us doing dorky stuff and laughing about it to her kids when we are gone. I want my kids to remember me as an adult that refused to grow up.

It's not the matching jerseys that would bother me.
It's the matching pink pantyhose with duct tape that would bother me .

To have matching jerseys for husband and wife? I hope its not too tacky (actually I really don't care) but want to know if there are any instances where it would not be appropriate. You see my wife bought me one of those really nice sublimated graphics jerseys from REI with Mt. Rainier on it,now when I got to wear it a couple of weeks ago on a ride we took she told me it really looked cool and I ask her if she wanted one. She replied that yes she did so with my 20% discount coupon and my dividend I ordered her one and am just going to spring it on her when I get it. I know she will love the thought but will our kids think we are nuts dressing alike? I mean we have matching bikes, the Raleighs and also the Specialized so we are kind of odd that way.

Of course, I am not suggesting that your wife is beating you, just sharing.
