Well, I've been biting my tongue, waiting for other people to play:
Here's my list:
Mojo: madd maxx, because he's got a magical quality or Beverly because she's so calming and supportive;
We Can Do It: Red Rider because she's a racer chick or Pam because she crashes a lot and still gets back up.
Grover: This would be me because I'm so goofy.
Tux: DnvrFox, because he's kind of the host here since he started the forum.
UK: Stapfam, because he's from the UK
SD: DG, as previously stated
W: Wisconsin Badger for Tom Bombadil

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.

If I were 20 years younger, I'd love* to cruise around on an english 3 speed in a team kit. That would be hilarious.
OK. I really wouldn't do this, but the thought* of me doing it is funny, and you'd have to be young (and cute!) to pull it off.

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:

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

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.

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