I think you should take the irony one step further and act like you never heard Armstrong's confession on Orpah.
You can ride around portraying the ultimate Lance fanboi, and when people make fun of you, you can look them dead in the eye and repeat the same lines those clods were chanting for years:
"Never tested positive!"
"Everyone else DID test positive!"
"USADA is incompetent!"
"Lemond/Andreus/Floyd are all crybabies and attention W#0r3$!"
"LIVESTRONG"!"
"Free FLOYD!"
Visit https://www.realultimatepower.net to get into the right frame of mind before every ride. Or better yet, check out the hilarious stalwarts in the Armstrong thread in the ProCycling for the Fans subforum--pretty rich material in there.

Are we supposed to instead wear our LeMond jerseys?

I was riding White Rock Lake ( a local riding hot spot) a couple of weeks ago and saw this along the way
As a cancer survivor I have no qualms about wearing my Livestrong jersey, though.

I never see any other Mondrian jerseys at the crowded rides I go to, and at least once per event, even if I'm waiting at a crowded starting line, strangers come up and say "T'sup Calamari?"
Throwing them away is so permanent. Eventually everything comes back in style.

I saw a photo of a kid in Africa wearing a 1994 San Diego Chargers Super Bowl XXIX World Champions cap, while his dad wore what looked like a loincloth with a Chargers XXIX World Champions T-shirt. Now, I know where all the failed winners memorabilia end up!!!

I still have my USPS jersey and wear it on (rare) occasion. My brother works for the Post Office so it's more for him at this point. Lance really f'd it up. Thanks a lot, loser. Above my computer is a small signed poster of the USPS team, Johan and Lance, of course. Haven't given it much thought but its starting to bother me now.

How many regular folks are going to know that Lance raced for USPS? The Livestrong jersey can be for cancer. They are still around and help people with cancer.

EBAY.
I saw a Maillot Jaune from the Lance era w/ the USPS badges on it that fetched for $500 last month.
Your USPS might fetch $30 and up. The Livestrong not too much.
Seriously, who cares.

I thought clothing could only elicit emotional responses from women.

I don't see any problem as long as you are on PED's while wearing them ... otherwise it would be a bit silly, right?

You know that Livestrong doesn't support cancer research. Hasn't since 2005.
