So what is your suggestion? Ride in a home-made jersey made of steel-wool?
@Souleur an unbranded national *team* jersey is not a "Championship and race leader jerseys" but they are usually so plain and ugly they should be avoided. This one is cool though. So is the Suisse one.
@ frank: well, funny you ask. i always have a story for everything, & i did have a neighbor lady who did have shetlands and did naturally dye the wool and spin it in her loom that was handed down to her from her lineage, upon my request she probably would have made a light blue jersey w/belgian strips.
I toss this concept out there for us all to enjoy, i personally like the belgian strips in the winter months respite, I prefer black and white bibs/jersey kits in the summer months...preferably w/support yourself tastefully donned on one side.
@micheal: I agree. Most are not something we would call 'bling' now adays. The US national jersey is hideous, sorry, it just is. I do like the Fin-land cross however.
@frank
Why would I want a jersey that says Cervelo on it? National team jerseys are fair game.
@Marko
You still also have the é's to worry about, though, even on the Norge jersey. Also, does the national jersey come with the salt stains already embedded? There's some pretty hefty Rule 5 there, too!
@Steampunk
True enough but I can explain that away by saying it represents the team, not so much the bikes. Thin, I know, but I really want that jersey.
@Marko
Well, this has been my issue, too. I really like the team, but how does it work if you don't have the bike. Of course, I think a big part of what makes the Norge jersey work is the big chest and shoulders inside it. Some of the overhead shots of the finish on Sunday"”especially in slow motion"”he looked twice the size of Matti Breschel, Pozzatto, and others. The man's a hulk.
How about The Chicken doing the chicken on the European version of Dancing with the Stars? (9th video down)
@Marko, @Steampunk
Bad news on the Cervelo "e"s on the boobs of the Norge jersey; it says Cervelo down the side as well. Although, it's very possible that is not on the standard jersey and that those were all custom made for each rider.
@Marko
I dunno Marko, i'm all for supporting one's home nation, but I think wearing a national jersey should be reserved for those who are capable of serving up enough Rule 5 to actually represent their country.
