For all our (OK, my) talk about how the Classics and/or the Giro are the highlight of the cycling year, it's fairer to say that we amp those races up to counter the media void and total lack of appreciation of their greatness state-side. Ultimately, the Tour de France is still the biggest race of the year, and it's time to declare Tour season. Actually it already was, but I needed time to get my color request in. Might still do some tinkering with the designers.

if you're going green, make sure it's a real kelly green (the old points jersey color)
not that new pts jersey green

I’ve been thinking the horn socks could be altered to represent the three lesser jerseys. We already have white.

hmm, maybe you're right
Chris can always request further changes after you’ve lived with it for a bit.
I'm one of four guys who built SB Nation 2.0. Please enjoy.
also, one must remember that bright yellow does not convey well on most computer monitors
cause the yellow just disappears

Yeah
I think the support guys understand this very well. They’ve dissuaded me from faded yellow before.

What did they say about the red polka dots on white?
You have to work that in someplace.
More Muur...

Were we on SBN v2 during the Tour last year?
Or was it the old version?
Respect the Shit List; it respects you.
v2 broke
right before the Giro.

If you try another version of this arguing...
…that ultimately, it’s all about the Vuelta, we’re going to start worrying about you. Just FYI.
It just has to be easy on the eyes, that's all.
Three weeks of staring at computer/tv screens until somewhere between 1am and 3am, then dragging the sorry arse in to work to spend 8 hours staring at a computer screen…
Please, just let it be easy on the eyes ;-)
We need to adapt here if we get a yes on this. I'm crossing my fingers
down here in Grove, New Scania. You should do the same in Wheats Landing, Little Country.
New Scania?
Is that anywhere near the Seattle Nordic Heritage Museum?

Vigorously.
