Reminds me. For the last club 10 of the year I intend to acquire a gold morph-suit. Or a black one might be quite cool.0

No, it's the symbiote, that would become Venom, merged with the body of Peter Parker. It's a lift from the front cover of Secret Wars, which first revealed Spider-man's black costume (at the time he didn't know it was a symbiote). I believe they gave him a new costume to match the new Spider-Woman who also first appeared in Secret Wars (boost sales). Friggen cool though, always will be - even though I boycott Spider-man comics due to the 1 more day storyline where they retconned the past 10-15years of Spider-man comics and erased the marriage of Peter and MJ....
The union of the symbiote and the Eddie Brock created the entity known as Venom.
Though if I saw that coming up behind me, I can assure you my scalp would be safe and I would have taken the Yellow from Contador and Schleck up whatever mountain they're climbing. Or so the fantasy goes when I'm in my all black lycra get-up.Food Chain number = 4
A true scalp is not only overtaking someone but leaving them stopped at a set of lights. As you, who have clearly beaten the lights, pummels nothing but the open air ahead. ~ 'DondaddyD'. Player of the Unspoken Game0 -

The problem I have with Lycra is that I feel hot and sweaty in it. So while I'm on top of a fine, hot filly, I'm just not that technosexual.0 -

Thanks for the response Guy's
I used to have a Pretty cool MJ poster on my wall as a lad that i obtained from the now defunt stateside comics that was in my town. Got some spidey comics at the folks as well. I'll see if i can locate them and their yours if you want them.
I'll still be in the Sky kit though and still looking to get a GB kit as well."If you always do what you've always done, you'll always get what you've always got."

End of the day if teams sell them for anyone to wear then anyone can wear them. Only line is to not wear them while actually racing...
If you like wear and f te rest to get snobby about kit that is on general sale!0 -
Personally I don't particularly like wearing team kit unless I'm a member of that team.
I've got no problem with other people wearing what they like though!0 -
The problem I have with all of the Team GB kit, not just the cycling stuff, is that the colours are wrong.
Red, white and blue are the correct colours, not "a tiny bit of red, white and four different shades of blue".
For that reason, with all and any Team GB kit, I'm out.
Regarding wearing a world champ jersey or any other kit you haven't 'earned', wear whatever you want. You went to work to earn the money to buy the kit, so you did earn it!FCN 3: Raleigh Record Ace fixie-to be resurrected sometime in the future

So you have a fantasy about running away from lycra-clad sci-fi characters, when you're in a black skin suit, I mean you make it sound like they want a struggle snuggle or something.What do you mean you think 64cm is a big frame?0 -

I suspect if there were beautiful women in my shower there would be a whole lot more splashing and noise. :shock:Nobody told me we had a communication problem0 -

I am also keen on the idea of beautiful women to prevent splashing. I'd ask the fragrant one what she thinks, but I think I know the answer.0 -

Whilst we are on the subject of red, white and blue does anyone else get irrationally irritated by Union Flags being flown upside down?

I've replaced the colours of my national flag with the colours of my forefather's national flag to show I'm a bit of this and a bit of that.

I disagree, she didn't have enough crayons (ie no red ones).EKE_38BPM wrote:Whoever made the cock-up of the Team GB kits (Stella McCartney?) just had too many crayons and not enough self-control.
Is she colour blind, or just trying to "make her mark" by removing one colour because it's the only original thing she can come up with? GB kit that's not Red, White and Blue, is plain wrong, especially in such a high profile event...
To the original question: I wouldn't wear GB kit unless I was part of the squad (and I do occasionally wear GB kit from another sport where I did compete). But if other people want to wear it, why shouldn't they?Pannier, 120rpm.0 -

Unless I'm missing something, that kit (uninspired though it was) utilises a palette of red, white and, erm, blue. As in the colours of the British flag. As in our traditional sporting colours. Its really not that hard. How about if some Dutch fashion designer designed a kit in red and yellow, as a "deconstructed orange"?0 -

But those outfits arent overtly based on the flag. Nobody minds if the England football team wear all red or all white jerseys, but if they had jerseys with the cross on them and it wasnt a red cross on white we would all say that was stupid and probably wrong.
This years olympic kit has a quater section of the flag design in it, and that design should carry the proper colours where it is used (IMO).0 -
