It might be fun to ride in a group of 4 or 6 or larger, all wearing team kits, while cruising through the woods on a trail. If they were all the same kits, it sure would turn heads.

If I wore the Bombadil shirt, while riding a Rivendell Bombadil, I would have to be singing my theme song:

Or I could be playing this one on my boombox:

My yodeling would go so* well with that intro.

Me too, but I need a little motivation.

I think this would be a better upper Midwest jersey:

Where's that "Queen" jersey when we really need it?

solveg 02-18-08 04:46 PM

OK. Wow. Marvel Comics is really going to do this. We could all be different!

http://www.prweb.com/releases/2005/12/prweb319283.htm

PureHero launches its first collection of cycling jerseys, BMX-inspired jerseys, and performance crew shirts based on popular Marvel Universe characters, including Spider-Man, Captain America, Fantastic Four and the Punisher.

Edit. Never mind. Looks like it never got off the ground. The press release was 3 years ago.

Actually, I would be more likely to wear a West Virginia University jersey than a Wisconsin jersey.

So is it true that if a man and woman from W.Va. get a divorce that they're still brother and sister. (I think I'll go hide for awhile)

maddmaxx 02-18-08 08:32 PM

OK Solveg, take your best shot at all 12 knowing what you do now. The first group are 1 through 7 and the 2nd group are 8 through 12.

The answers are variable so some of the Jersey's may fit more than one 50+er. After you take your shot I'll list my original intentions. My jersey is #13 and I will post that later.

Q. Where was the tooth brush invented?

A. W.Va. (invented anywhere else...it would be called a teeth brush).:p

Got room for one more in that hiding place, JT?

Red Rider 02-18-08 11:24 PM

I'd like a New Jersey...:D

OK... it's hard! I have to run out today and only have a few hours before my wheel class tonight. But tomorrow I'll brew a pot of coffee and put my thinking cap on!

I really like this game, maddmaxx. It was a great idea.

maddmaxx 02-20-08 09:47 AM

Pink Floyd is for Louis. :eek:

Tux is for Robtown. :)

Cranky Old Bast*** is for Retro Grouch ;)

AH! Now I do!

What about the others I couldn't get? Old Paint? Grover?

Did I get any of the others right? I don't think so...besides the ones I already knew.

For the others, you did fine.........congratulations..Grover. :)

I think you're just being kind about my guesses, but I'll take it.

maddmaxx 02-20-08 10:10 AM

I still haven't taken my favorite jersey out for a picture.........Its black.....with a giant smiley front and rear. I have a lot of fun on the trails with that one. People look..........then they look again.....then they laugh.

But then again, that may have nothing to do with the jersey..:)

Colorado Cyclist actually sold a a Flying Dog Doggie Style jersey a few years ago, along with jerseys for Flying Dog's Tire Bite and Road Dog ales. Unfortunately I procrastinated and didn't get one. :(

I was interested mostly because of the Ralph Steadman art, but now these are among my favorite beers, particulary the Doggie Style Pale Ale. If they ever offer them again I'll be all over it.

We may do this again. I am collecting a batch of bicycle artwork to match to members.

I appreciate these sorts of jersey's more than the "team kit" kind. You can buy clothing that works well and have some fun with it as well.

How would you explain "Wildcats" on the sleeves and sides? UK Wildcats?:o
