What if he just likes the color combination? Or what if he just wants to emulate the current champion?

I know how the yellow jersey thing has been beat to death, but is it the same deal with the champion jersey? It’s obvious what I’m getting at. The point is that in any other sport you can sport your favorite team’s jersey . . . doesn’t cycling want to be emulated by enthusiasts like in other sports? It just makes no sense.
