Anyone watch SouthPark back in the day? They had a stoned towel named Towlie.
I feel like him right now after reading these threads- "I have no idea what's goin on."

I loved Towlie.

Imo, the mods are occasionally too lenient in this forum. This thread would be headed for lock down even in the 41.

People often say that, but they make jerseys without logos or other garish stuff. They also make them in fairly inexpensive models.

I use tech tees, but on some trips I like to wear inexpensive jerseys in conservative colors.

Unfortunately, moderators are not omniscient and don't necessarily see every single post. So if you see a problem, be sure to report it so that the staff can discuss what action needs to be taken.

In 70's bike boom all the writers told folks to buy Euro wool jerseys, unfortunately most of them were heavy & hot (not like current SmartWool-type stuff); local racing club jerseys were even more obnoxious orlon that was scratchy so many riders wore a plain cotton t-shirt underneath. Bike jersey pockets are convenient for carrying stuff but same stuff can be carried in bike bags.

OTOH it's interesting how mass-market mills are moving into breathable fabrics, both cotton & synthetic. So it's likely that value-priced bike jerseys will get cheaper though a bike jersey always requires add'l labor.
