    Yup. Shorts and jersey. No cap, I don't like caps.

    The bystanders won't suffer too much....I'll be past faster than Museuw chasing another Paris Roubaix cobble to build into his house wall.

    While I found Big Mig boring to watch as a spectator I have to admit that the Banesto kit was rather good.


    The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
    I am not sure. You have no chance.

    Going back to Pantani (and him being one of my favourite riders) I rather like his Wilier related Mercatone Uno and his famous Alpe d'Huez ride. Having a couple of Wiliers sort of helps as well. Got to confess to having one of these but don't actually wear it much.

    I'm going to burn my reputation (ha!) and suggest the original Garmin Slipstream Jersey...



    I loved the way they had the cliff bar products sticking out of the back pocket.

    That and a Caisse d'Epargne jersey remain the only ones I've ever bought. The Caisse jersey was more to do with 'being french like that bike thing off the telly' as it pre-dated my interest in cycling as a sport. CSC & Cervelo jerseys also but that's more because of my man-crush on the riders wearing them...

    Where do we stand on the Carrera kit with the denim effect shorts?

    It's marginally better than either of the Castorama ones that look like dungarees.

    And just slightly better than the Footon Servetto tragedy of a few years ago. *Just* slightly...

    That pic of the Carrera kit doesn't really do justice to those shorts with fake pockets drawn on. But this is a jersey thread.

    There was a NW MTB team that had the products printed in the pockets back in the 90s.

    Linda McCartney team jerseys had a Motorola radio poking out of one of the pockets.

    What about a Belgian champs jersey as often seen in DQS logos but still.... Mercatone Uno only with the full accessory kit incl bandana and laying it down on some mythical climb. I'd look stupid at best riding round with it. Telekom pink was quite nice but someone mentioned Caisse d'Epargne - that was fairly simple just Black/Red and not over logo-ed

    No point having the discussion if you don't post the photos! ;)

    I do like that, but the combination jersey doesn't really count does it?

    Oddly, I always associate the Combined Jersey mostly with Steven Rooks for some reason

    Can you imagine what the shorts would look like these days if they still did the combined jersey?

    That's a fair point, but yeah it does look pretty good.

    Maybe the fact he still holds that title....

    Or maybe because he won it twice, but never wore yellow?

    SWMBO has ordered that for me. And the shorts.

    I never realised until we had some tiling done that you can get Mapei grout in about 100 different colours.

    All those jerseys are grim. Mapei, Mapei Clas, Mapei Quickstep. All terrible in slightly different ways.


  • Yeah, but they were a damned good team.
    P.S. don't mention the "help" they received!

    Just get everyone else to wear one and you will be very anonymous.

  • Maybe I'm odd (don't answer that) but I quite like the jersey.
