Rouler Sportswear out of Cary, NC has some of my favorite OK/not OK offerings. Like the lumberjack skinsuit. And their new DIRT line (Dads Inside Riding Trainers).

If they're just talking about silliness, I've been tackier and wilder stuff on RAGBRAI since before this article was written.

Wow, am I sorry I clicked on that. One of those supposedly funny pieces of snark that just demonstrates how unclever the writer is by denegrating other people's better jokes. On what planet is telling people to douse a stranger in lighter fluid and ignite them supposed to be funny?

Acceptable or unacceptable?

Acceptable. Nothing overtly offensive, and you'd have to be quite the square to be upset after digging to find out what it represents.
Meanwhile, one of the cycling clubs in my area is sponsored by an adult shop, so that's on their jerseys. Underneath the scantily-clad devil babes...

I like the Star Trek ones (but definitely NOT red). Too bad they don't have TNG ones. Red is safe in that series since it is worn by command.
Of the jerseys I actually own, my favorite is cookie monster.

I have that Cookie Monster one too. My wife bought me a large thinking of my t shirt size, but it’s... not equivalent

Oh man, never had seen the Polish one. I had seen the Colombia one, that's just moronic. Had to be a joke.
I'd considered buying an Il Pirata jersey a while back, Giro pink Mercatone, but just couldn't come to do it. It was after watching his "death of a cyclist" biopic. Just not my style and I think the history would be lost on 90% of the people I ride with.
I do have a set of polka dots from visiting France on a work trip I will wear on the hammer ride just to piss off people who care about such things.

Primal Wear, actually good jerseys, but their original designs are the stuff of Bike Snob posting.
Pearl Izumi did Sesame Street jerseys and socks for a while, I have Cookie Monster and Oscar and I've seen Super Grover in the wild.
