    Looks ok to me, though to be honest the big nike ticks would bother me more than the livestrong logos

    Good stuff, not such a bad reaction!

    Fancy getting this once ive shed a bit more weight as I thought it looked pretty nice - not as garish as I was expecting and a damn sight nicer than the radioshack kit

    worried I would look a plonker in it though

    plus as mentioned some of the profit will go to charity so its not all bad

    "100% of the proceeds from the LIVESTRONG Store, after all related expenses, benefit the programs of the Lance Armstrong Foundation. Our survivorship programs and services depend on the generosity of our supporters.

    Thanks to our donors and other supporters, we have raised $181 million for cancer survivorship programs and initiatives to make cancer a national priority."

    From their FAQ:

    It is LAF.org which is the "not for profit"

    If you're buying it simply because you like it - then go for it.
    If buying because of the cancer thing - have at it.
    Not sure where "error" comes into play. Buy it and wear it. I don't think you'll be breaking any RULES.
