Do You Wear Team Logo Apparel?
 

Interested in seeing peoples’ thoughts

I only wear generic cycling clothing when out for a ride.

I actively avoid or remove logos.

I have a handful of souvenir jerseys but 90% of the time, I’m wearing my team kit. We use Castelli so it’s good stuff.

No. I won't be mistaken for a pro no matter what I'm wearing or riding. :D

Unless they sponsor me, no. Of course, I cannot help if Nike, Solomon, or others have their logo on their clothing.
For those that wear the jersey and shorts filled with logos; we can tell if you're a pro or not

You know that most racing teams are amateur, right?

On occasion I do but I don't mind if it is a product I use and love and is decent. I can see the reason for not doing it but one of my best fitting jerseys is for an American company that makes quality products.

Yes, and many have sponsors. I'm talking about logos like Specialized, Trek, Shimano, etc. Apologies, if I misread the post
I was on a cycling team and never ever did we wear the team jersey on training rides, but this was in the days of one jersey per member, and the sponsors were the butcher and the bike store

I’d love it if we were sponsored by a butcher. Our sponsors include a bike shop, dentist, mortgage broker, and redistricting data analytics firm (it’s a political town). I try to give them as much exposure as I can. They make it possible for us to put on our races each year.

If by logo'd you mean the manufacturer, it's pretty hard to buy any kit that hasn't got a logo on it of the company who made it.

I've got a bunch of kit from different manufacturers, all I'm guessing have the logo on there somewhere. I prefer it to be a little discreet, not a massive CASTELLI across the back or whatever.

If you mean pro team kit, well that's an entirely different question.

Sometimes, but not intentionally. Like wear whatever is available:)

Another boring poll with vague parameters and personal undertones. Yay :rolleyes:

I never have, but that doesn’t mean I won’t ever.

I tend to wear whatever I get a good deal on. As long as I'm visible and comfortable then I don't really mind what my gear says.

I sometimes wear used jerseys from obscure amateur teams because you can buy hem cheap.

where i am it boils down to , wear Bicyclist logo'd stuff and you look like you are a TDF wannabe or, wear a NFL or NBA jersey and you fit right in :)

That doesn't mean that those teams don't have sponsors. I still wear the team kit I bought from the amateur team I used race for and it is covered with logos from the companies that support the team

I wear Swiss Navy admiral's uniform.

It can also be used as a tent, and has a corkscrew attachment.

Was it on sale when I (you) needed it?

Our local team's jersey for a few years has been a bit less logo filled as a few of the sponsors were team members that were a bit more generous in covering costs.

Our local team policy is you wear for races and do your best on wearing it to group rides the team hosts or other larger local group rides. If you're in your pain cave or out on a solo ride around town, totally up to you. As not everyone can afford to buy yearly "extras" so you can wear team kit on every solo ride also.

My go-to solo ride kit is often the pro team kit for the company I work for. We sponsor the pro team and get free or really good discounts on the gear and wear it for company sponsored or promoted events.

One way or another, this topic is always so silly to the point we got the Road.cc meme of "oh look, it's a full Cav kit wan....oh wait, it IS Cav himself". The presumptive judgment and near hatred is so bad folks nearly give pros themselves crap for it.

I like seeing people happy on bikes. If it makes you happy and doesn't physically hurt or endanger another, go be happy. It's a really undesirable personality trait to need to feel over others by putting them down because they don't conform to your vision for them. Be it team kit wearers, folks spending mammoth money on indoor pain caves, beginners buying $10k bikes, or what have you. I'd rather have a beer after the ride with the fun loving Fred in team kit and riding too much bike than with some uptight turd who thinks they know best for everyone else. I've not always been like that, it took some personal growth. But now I realize what's important.

I do not wear jerseys with team logos if I do not belong to that team.
I do not wear jerseys where the jersey brand is a huge sublimation across the jersey.

The one team/group I do belong to has a jersey style that I do not love, so I wear that pretty rarely.

If I did wear team jerseys, it would be the Rapha L39ion gear. That stuff is in the performance cut though and out of an abundance of reality, I am a 'classic cut' cyclist.

if i like the look & it fits to my pref, I'll likely roll it.
