Have just seen a guy with the coolest jersey ever: on the back of a (mostly yellow) jersey were the words "HATE JAMS"...and below a Marmite logo (think it was done up as a Marmite team jersey)

Totally superb, where can I get one?

It's just a hill. Get over it.

    How's the fit on them? I'm tempted but am a chunky monkey and am not sure the 'road' jersey would be too flattering...is the free ride nicely loose-ish but not baggy?

    It may have been me. www.foska.com. At £45 it's a bit pricey but then the missus bought it for me for Christmas.

    I've got the Fullers ESB one. It's great. Got it as a birthday present last year.

    Particularly like the zipped pocket - a very useful and secure feature for your cash and portable telephone.

    They've got a great range and you normally see a good smattering of them on the sportives.

    I went for XL, and I'm 6' with a 36" waist and a beer belly, and it seems to hide my unsightly tum quite nicely, without being overly baggy, which can look even worse on us larger blokes.

    The freeride jerseys are reduced to £30 at the moment too.

    I was the scruffy g1t in Hi-Viz on the world's tattiest bike

    Guess you either love them or you hate them :P

    Action Bikes have that range in stock so you can try em on.

    There's a wine company in the US that make cycling jerseys/shorts with this logo on it which I love. But they only ship to the US :(

    I have just had some t-shirts printed up for my RM cadets with 'Come to the dark side, we have cookies!' and the 'Royal Marines Cadets' printed on the back. they have raised a few smiles already and we poached an Army Cadet into the bargain from it.

    I wear my shirt on my bike.

    I do however WANT that Foska, Minnie The Minx shirt 8)

    I have the Marmite, Colman's Mustard (can you cut it?) and my son insisted I have the skull and cross bones.

    Fit is great, I'm 5'6" and a little over what I should be and the M fits fine.
