Texas rednecks may not all care for spandex-wearing, leg-shaving roadies, but by and large they will not throw beer bottles at the Texian Flag.

As far as jersey colors go, black is not highly desirable. It gets very hot in summer and its visibility is really poor, so if you share the road with cars you are increasing your risk. Nashbar and others have many plain color jerseys at very good prices and they hold sales frequently. Buy a few brightly colored jerseys (yellow, red, etc) there and you'll be set for a while.

I've said it before... I want a Futurama jersey... with this printed on the front...
And this on back....
Or maybe the caption should be printed on the matching shorts.

I'd like one with Prof. Farnsworth on the front and the News Monster on the back.

I really like that jersey. I have a thing for the odd though. I wear a real tuxedo shirt to class every once in a while.
