Good stuff considering my first post in this cesspool of a thread was not simply about logos. It was a clear response to another poster that chimed in to make a terrible analogy regarding all sports apparel.
You regularly see recreational riders in full kit.
You very rarely see football or baseball fans in full uniform.
I’m sorry to break the news here but a NY Giants fan wearing a jersey anywhere is not the same as a recreational cyclist wearing full kit anywhere for any reason.
The irony of my fan club missing the entire point is awesome but will ofc be lost on them

Here’s my OP btw:

I see people wearing college/pro basketball jerseys at the gym all the time. Never once have I been like "oh wow, is that actually Lebron James using that cardio machine?".
You are quite off base.
Nobody is wearing a basketball or football jersey and trying to claim they are doing so for aero or tech benefits
