And indeed they were 'The US Postal-Berry Floor team was fined SFR 4,500 for wearing irregular
jerseys during Sunday's final stage. Each team member was also fined SFR 200 each, after they came
to the start dressed in grey jerseys, bearing the U.S. Mail logo.'

Who cares.........that's French thinking! What would you expect from a country who had to be rescued
twice from the Nazi's............then turn there backs on people who ask for help...........

Yeah, if it wouldn't have been for us no one would ever have found those weapons of mass
destruction...

It has nothing to do with France. It is a UCI fine, if you looked you would see that the fine
is in SFR.

Twice? I know we saved them from the Nazi's in WWII. Is there some other time the Nazi's attacked
France that I'm not aware of?

I think you meant Germans. The Nazi's hadn't been invented yet during WWI.

Nike will probably pay the fine for them. They will make up the fine with all the Fred's jumping at
the chance to buy the "retro" jersey.

Do you think since it is retro they actually made it out of wool?

No sense of humor? How do you think the old school logo got on the Yellow Jersey? You think the
Posties stole the jersey and did a quick Iron-on switch-a-roo? Come on the fine is trivial(and
dished out by the UCI), and it is a way to bring attention to a nice gesture from one old and
storied orginization to a another.

Le'Blanc probably manned the Iron himself.

Damn straight! Thank God the US didn't need their help during the American Revolution or something!
That would have really sucked!

I was wondering about this yesterday, when P & P mentioned that US Postal would be fined.
What exactly is considered an "irregular" jersey? Were ONCE fined because they wore yellow
and black uniforms in the time trials, but pink and black on every other stage? What about
the national champions, wearing their national colors instead of their team's colors? (I'm
just curious. I don't mean to sound like I'm whining

Dumbass -

they only had to be rescued once from the Nazis.

National champs are allowed to wear the different uniform.

National champion (and world champ) jerseys are a long established part of cycling.

ONCE's normal jersey is the yellow, but it is deemed too close to the Tour de France leaders jersey,
hence the pink.

Since the TTs are individual events the jerseys clash isn't important
- and it saves them the expense of making separate skinsuits.
