Would you sport this jersey?
I found this jersey on eBay, I personly like it, but thought it would be interesting to see what everyone else thought. Is this the same as wearing the dreaded "TEAM" jersey?

looks like a dress...or a rodeo clown outfit. But to each his own.

I'm gonna have to say no. I may be a bit odd, but wow, just not that odd.

You have an extra?

It does look like the multi-category jersey from the late 70's and early 80's TDF's. I say buy it and wear it. It's cool because it's so obscure. Check out this link: https://images.google.com/imgres?imgu...lr%3D%26sa%3DN

Hate to admit it but deep in the recesses of my closet that houses my old cycling, golf, and fishing gear there is a long sleeve replica of that Jersey that I bought in 1986.. Its made by Giordana has,Toshiba on the sides and the Tour De France ensignia on the upper left patch.. So it is a Tdf replica award jersey ..One thing, when I wore it I was visible!
