Not UCI approved especially when you use The Force.

I actually clicked the link. That helmet looks ridiculous.
At some point they need to just allow full fairing recumbents into the TT’s. Let’s make this exciting.

And.....Rapha's or Assos's or Le Col's new jerseys will save 5 watts. Welcome to the world of wind tunnels, marketing, and pro cycling = Where a second may be the difference between fame or obscurity. 
What does it mean unless you are wearing a race number? = nothing burger. But still humorous in a weird way, especially if a person shows for a group ride wearing one of these new TT helmets..
Can we cue up some Photoshop or AI images?

That depends somewhat on the type of group ride.

Well, the great thing about having more aerodynamic jerseys is not having to hear all that flapping fabric. Even if it weren't stealing speed, the noise bugs the living hell out of me! And, yeah - I might not have the body for skin tight clothes, but I'm on the INSIDE looking OUT, so it's not MY problem!
It's not just a tight and form fitting jersey for a pro cyclist, but also the techie windtunnel stuff like new materials, orientation of fabric, seams/seamless, etc. I do not know any details, but one clothing manufacturer claims 5 watts (I think) saved with their newest pro jersey.
I agree, if "not having to hear all that flapping fabric ... the noise bugs the living hell out of me." - is a problem on one's rides, then the jersey may not fit. Or you ride much, much faster than I.
edit:
The helmet isn't aero and the jersey not a race fit, especially with a collar. The 'flapping' hasn't bothered me. A high-tech jersey would be low on the list of things to make me faster - if that were even a priority. YMMV.
Roll On. Just don't forget your readers!

Sweet Bianchi, BTW. I love the drillium chainrings!
Do they whistle at speed? All that flapping and whistling, you must sound like a one man band!

I was thinking about those aero jerseys, speed suits, and aero socks. Those pop up on fast group rides.
