Though I reckon we could come up with a better list.
#1 missing? USP jersey - especially if they're baggy.
And TBH, I think the festina one has a kind of ironic/cynical take which makes you look like a hardened cycling fan.

Also I thought what if you were a staunch Bassons supporter, you could wear it in quite a nice subversive way.
There are a lot of people on there that think you shouldnt wear team kit. I suppose it doesnt look good with sock/sandal combo.

Excellent, I have permission to wear mine again, bought back in the late 90s before the Festina affair blew up. I may also wear my Saunier Duval top, again bought before the Ricardo Ricco scandal. I bought a Frank Schleck Lux Champ Leopard Trek top about a month before he got busted. I'm holding off buying any Sky kit for the time-being

I agree, I've got a Festina watch (Prutour special edition given away at a stage finish) which I wear with a bit of irony (I'm convinced its got a secret compartment in it for concealing a little 'stash' - just haven't found it yet).
I've also got a pair of T-Mobile bibshorts, but I always wear them underneath longs, pink's not really my colour :oops: :oops:~~~~~~Sustrans - Join the Movement~~~~~~0 -

The castorama jersey is designed, designed, to look like a hardware store clerk's apron.
The footon one looks like a nude-look body stocking."In many ways, my story was that of a raging, Christ-like figure who hauled himself off the cross, looked up at the Romans with blood in his eyes and said 'My turn, sock cookers'"

OK, so are we agreed USP needs to go in there?
We can make our own list.
#1. USP.
Tend to agree with the column about Phonak.
#2 Phonak.
#3?0 -

USP jersey is like Motorola. If you take a photo fo a group of cyclists, there is always at least one person wearing one.0 -

Nah. Jerseys you shouldn't be seen dead in.
The guardian article is, well, guardian, so being associated with doping isn't cool, according to them.
I reckon we feel differently.0 -
Oops, I've just read the Guardian article, I thought we were just doing a list of terrible looking jerseys. This is all so complicated. Seems like I now have to worry if the rider who has actually earned the jersey has doped or not! I'm off now to burn the contents of my jersey drawer...0

Oh right, so I can wear my Amgen Tour of California jersey then?0 -
Aside from the usual debate regarding WC, team team and national jerseys *yawn*.....
I reckon the worst crime is for a grown man to be wearing matching trade team kit.“New York has the haircuts, London has the trousers, but Belfast has the reason!0 -
Really?
I always think not matching jerseys looks a bit naff.
I do it, but it's not a strong look.0
