I like this very much. It would be a good anniversary gift for me especially if I got red and orange striped socks.

I have a black, orange, and dark green "Ireland" jersey I bought from Performance Bikes. It's a classy looking design and I got it larger than necessary so I can easily get things out of the pockets while riding plus I'd have room for a base layer someday when I'm not in Phoenix and I have room for air circulation now.

My second favorite jersey was purchased on eBay. It says "Eddy's Bike Shop Sweet Corn Challenge" on the left front, "Sweet Corn Challenge" down the sides and "Sweet Corn Challenge Richfield, Ohio July 25, 2010" on the back. It's red, yellow, white, and blue. I didn't ride in the Sweet Corn Challenge but I really wanted a kitschy looking jersey that was colorful and might have been a souvenir for somebody. I'm keeping my eyes open for more of these if anybody runs across one.

By the way, about team kit and advertising: although I like to wear the stuff worn by the racers my local shop sponsors and it does look kind of pro, I like to wear it mostly because I like to spread goodwill. I kinda get paid to advertise for them: they give me good deals, and free coffee and soda, as well as a big smile and warm handshake whenever I stop in. Why wouldn't I want other people to know about them? I want them to do well.

I'm proud of my brewery, and I love my bike team. Most Saturdays and Sundays you can see our pace lines all over Houston and the surrounding cities, flying the flag of locally brewed, top notch beer.

Just go to Google Images and search for "cheeseburger bicycle jersey." You can substitute many words for cheeseburger as there seems to be an unlimited number of jerseys Freds will wear.

Look down at the bottom of the screen and use the grey bar to scroll to the right for the Submit button. Happens when large images are posted.

Best graphics- the Cat in the Hat and the Sam I Am jerseys. But beware, they are hand-wash only.
Best value- the dayglow jerseys available from Academy.

Lately I have bought some accessories from Planet X, and they have been very good quality and inexpensive. Never bought a jersey from them, but I would think the same would be true.

Both seem good deals, but I'm holding out until the Green Eggs and Ham jersey goes on a big sale. That would be a fun one to wear to work.

My favorite jersey design is a Capo I bought several years ago. But, my favorite fit is Assos.

Also, I'm a fan of better-designed craft brewery jerseys, as well, and like to rep my favorite shops. River City Bicycles is my favorite by far, and their shop kit is currently from Castelli. Not sure what the bibs are at the moment, but they tops are "Training Fit," which is a nice compromise between race fit (which I seem to no longer fit into) and club fit (which is still loose on me).

I've also been happy with Sugoi's RS Pro stuff, which was team issue, back when I used to pretend to race.

No experience with Rapha or Assos; to me, they're just too expensive, no matter how innovative, high-performing, or good-looking.
