It's an everybody race

And guess what you get if you win? I hear the pie’s really good, though I’ve never managed to get any…

I think I’ll add to the story, anyway.

Indiana Jones – The Temple of Doom (complete with chilled monkey brains accessory) – $310

Not that chilled monkey brains wouldn't be fun to have on hand

but if I’m going to spend that kind of money, it will be on vintage.

If Vanderkitten could bear the indignity

of my wearing it to trundle very slowly down the cycle path to the coast in the summer, I’d get one too.

MEOW!

I like it. Puts to shame all that garbage the other men’s teams put out this year…

Hey look! More snow...

But that little strip won't be easy to make out on TV images

Heh, TV. At a women’s race. Did you see how I made a funny there?

My bags are guaranteed sand-free.

by Jens on Feb 8, 2011 6:14 PM EST up reply actions  

Yes! I saw it!

Jens, making joke!

Also, it’s U.S. women’s racing,mostly, I believe. So, even less teevee.

by Jen See on Feb 8, 2011 6:16 PM EST up reply actions  

No.

They appear to have some sponsors, for a start.

It’s B+W with colorz. And a kitten!

I like the old one with the cat on it.There is so little originality in jersey design. It’s like they all want to be seen as “cool and uber understated” and it’s all a mishmash of the same stuff.Boring,take no risk.
To be fare this one is not the worst of the lot by any means.The guys teams have that wrapped up this year.Just hate to see Vanderkitten jumping on the bandwagon.

by Dustbunny8 on Feb 8, 2011 6:18 PM EST reply actions  

Can I have one

without the Focus logo? You know, with my Canyon and all.

by tedvdw on Feb 8, 2011 6:27 PM EST reply actions  

Heh

The dread bike-jersey sponsor mismatch. Hate it when that happens!

by Jen See on Feb 8, 2011 6:30 PM EST up reply actions  

Ack!

I would go with the mismatched option, there!

by Jen See on Feb 8, 2011 8:43 PM EST up reply actions  

i was a big fan of those jerseys

nothing wrong with the new ones though.

Those were nice.

I’d wear one. Do they make an XXL size?

I think they generally only make women's sizes

which are well, girlishly shaped. Maybe they should do a special edition run of men’s sizes for the dood fans.

by Jen See on Feb 9, 2011 11:07 AM EST up reply actions  

The VK's tell me

that the kit goes on sale on 25 February. I’d assume on their webby.
