Unusual Jerseys

Pauld100

I though it might be interesting to get a thread running for people to post photos/links of unusual jerseys they have seen/own, as I have been looking around for something slightly different than the plain DHB/Rapha/etc styles, or team kit jerseys.

I'll start with the Foska range for something unusual: http://www.foska.com/cycling-jerseys/road

There is also the help for heroes jersey: http://shop.helpforheroes.org.uk/produc ... Shirt.html

Anyone have any interesting ones that they have seen and want to mention?

Primalwear should have some interesting stuff for you.

Those Foska jerseys are quite cool!

My birthday is coming up in roughly a month, and once I've got some spare cash i'll be ordering the Batman jersey and bibs from Monton. Not the best for winter time, but I've got a large hi-vis backpack cover I use when it is fairly dark out, plus various other hi-vis bits. Looking forward to it.

Monton has quite an interesting selection of designs. Everything from Rapha's (not original) through to Batman and others!

Bloke at work has one of these, I suppose they aren't that unusual now, but it still makes me chuckle whenever I see him in it...

I love that Wallace and Gromit Foska jersey.

The batman one is questionable, maybe as a skinsuit.

My wife likes the wallace and gromit one as well, if she starts actually using her bike then I might treat her to it!

Got to respect the 80's ;-)

I like Foska's pasta, but their jerseys are not my cup of tea.

The idea of a funny/quirky jersey never really seems to work IMO.

Not sure why, but liking the Rubiks Cube one though ;-)

I keep meaning to get a Help for Heroes one so thanks for the link.

It would have been called Um-Bungle if they drank it in the jungle :shock:

Agreed on the funny jersey not working.

The Rubiks Cube possibly reminds you of

I think its a combination of it being an iconic 80's product and very good design.
Think they have got the design spot on. It could have been a real mess.
Side, arm and rear panels work well with the boldness of the rest.

You kind of forgive its garishness and end up loving it due to the good design.

In a thread like this, why cant people just post images rather than links, which are so tedious to click and follow through time and again...

Anyway, well known but rarely seen in the wild;

Here are a few of mine. If you don't like 'em, don't buy 'em.

Don't worry, I won't

Only kidding (sort of). Quite like the top one

Thinking there might be a big market for 80's themed jerseys 8)

Captain pug wash, Magic Roundabout, Jamie and his magic torch (would have to feature Wordsworth big time though), Danger Mouse, to name but four.

Foska are missing a trick.

I've got this one, one of my favourites. I went to a Mondrian exhibition last year, didn't really get it, but hard to beat as a jersey. Hinault, LeMond and Hampsten can't all be wrong, well maybe Hampsten in those old skool Oakleys. I shall have to dig it out for tomorrow afternoon's ride, I've got matching bibshorts, but they never really fitted.

This is on my want list but I want it with a longer zip. Maybe a jersey manufacturer could produce some retro designs with modern materials and styling with longer zips etc. Zips can be hidden quite well these days.
