The “graffiti” concept doesn’t work so well when everything is organized like a shopping list, and the lettering . . . Two things, two things I don’t like. Graffiti artists don’t use a type set, it’s free hand baby. And there is too much white on the shorts, ahem. That’s three, three things I don’t like about \o/ #%#!=*&+ \o/ “Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!”

Yeah, except for the colors, the graffiti, the white shorts

and the fact it’s got “cannondale” down the side of the jersey…it’s not bad kit. I had some Garneau kit once, it fit rather nicely. Still, it’s got to be pretty cool to be wearing kit with your own name on it.

I've Seen This Design Before...

…totally a rip-off of the “Rock Racing’s Not Dead” kit from last year. Shame, shame.

Any kit with writing on the crotch gets a thumbs down from me.

But I do like the colors.

yeah

I had about the same reaction. I like it OK. But the writing on the shorts is going to look pointless on the bike. Jersey is OK by me though.

If this jersey didn't have the graffiti, then I would like it

but with it in there, it is about a 4 when it could be an 8 without it.

What a bunch of old prudes

I don’t think the Bahati Foundation’s message is meant for old guys. The kids at Crenshaw high don’t give a rip about wool Molteni jerseys. Geezers. Ofcourse you old masters racers are entitled to your opinions but us Pro12’s couldn’t care less.

Though white in the crotch area… well it doesn’t rain much in SoCal

Hey you kids!! Get off my lawn!!!!

I’m curious why you think the message isn’t for everyone. You might have a point if you are saying that the jersey needs to appeal to the kids at Crenshaw, but the message I think needs to appeal to everyone. Or at least the ones Rahsaan is counting on for the cash that makes it happen.
White shorts and red ones too, it’s not about the rain. It’s TMI.
