I have no desire to plaster myself with brand names. Most of my clothing is running/athletic clothes not specifically cycling, and, well, just normal looking. Sometimes I wear some of the many shirts I've got for entering races (they do have the sponsors on the back of course), since they work fine, were free with the race entry and I am frugal. But I'd never go out and buy a shirt with logos and stuff all over it.

I will have a warm fuzzy feeling inside this morning just knowing how much my jersey bothers the 41 brain trust.

I only ride with my disc brake sponsor's logo but they pay me 1% over the last year for every disc brake kit sold.

I have lot's of "cool" jerseys. Some from clubs, some clubs that I've never even heard of. But recently I've really enjoyed the look of a nice, plain good fitting jersey with no logos, names, clubs, companies, etc... on it with just plain black shorts. I recently arrived at my mid-40's. Is this just "one of those things" or am I sharing this experience with many others here?

I'll wear pro team kit (Cervelo test team ftw!) I won't wear fluoro yellow kit, or orange reflective vests like I see on cyclists sometimes. Not trying to look like a road construction worker.
