In the thread on the Nor Cal Jersey, Dchiefransom said it would look like this
https://www.teamestrogen.com/products.asp?pID=23095
But really, could there be one cool enough for us to wear?
Ideas?

And when you go to that velogear jersey page, the default selected jersey size is, of course, 3XL.

Man, don't laugh at these dudes....can you imagine how many blueberry pies these guys have totalled up on their Garmins (it does keep track of bike relevent info, right?)? If you're gonna age, as we all know, age with commitment, vigor, and an appetite for high stats.

Light colors with the words, "Old Crank" across the back. Under the words a print of a hand-drawn dis-articulated cottered crankset complete with chainrings that are missing teeth.
Alternately, "Aging Athlete: Ultimate Predator" over a picture of a scarred and crack-toothed tiger.
. . .Orrrrr. . .a jersey just like everyone else's.

Seriously: high viz, club cut, classic design (like forget the Primal Wear bizarro stuff), some dignity (none of that "Toothless Beer Gut Old Fart" stuff) cuz some of us ride fairly hard and take riding seriously even if we're not Serious Riders, and something a little humorous or wry but not self-deprecating-- because we do know our limitations even if we choose to disregard them at times.
In other words, something we can wear around the grandkids or go click-clacking into Starbuck's with.

If they are riding, you would think they would be in better shape.

I hope I am still able to ride when I am their age. They are probably comparing a "bent" that just went by to theirs.

TEAM EXPERIENCED, or something
Maybe just a very graphic 50 as if it's a jersey number

Design can be considered in flux, improvements from suggestions are possible.

Highlights are gray.
Yellow is for visibility, (or to match toe nails.)
