Get a grip. There is only one yellow jersey, we all know
what it looks like and only an [censored] wears it without
having won it.

You think people are born knowing this [censored]?

You must mean this one:

Probably these are not OK either:

egory_id=196&product_id=2433

It's a mine field out there, just want to be prepared to be
appropriately contemptuous.

Thanks for the links....

Yes. Everyone must wear plain grey T-shirts.

Etiquette, schmetiquette.

Visibility is improved wearing yellow. It's the closest
color to the one that was selected for fire trucks and
emergency equipment -- that sort of lime-greeney-yellow
color. If someone makes a jersey in that firetruck color,
I'll give up the yellow.

Until then I could give a rabid rat's rump about who rags
me. Nobody is ever going to mistake me for a TdF winner
wannabe, anyway.

My favorite jersey (I wore it out) was bright yellow and had
a great big "Less Than" ( < ) sign on its back, like the
roadside signs that tell drivers they'd better get over or
be in the ditch on rural roads.

Performance offers their house brand (Classic?) short

describe.... :-)

Actually, if you're really concerned about visibility,
flourescent pink is the best color. Many studies have been
done on this subject, and pink always wins.

You can wear one as long as you are prepared to defend it to
anybody that attacks. If you do not answer to those attacks,
well ......that's when it starts getting sour

Get a grip. There is only one yellow jersey, we all know
what it looks like and only an [censored] wears it without
having won it.

Hmmmm.... should I wear the yellow jersey that I got for
winning (as part of a team) a 24 hour MTB race? I hope it
won't upset Fab too much if I wear it...

without the baby having won it!!!!!!! Any baby that would
wear that is an [censored].. obviously I'm being sarcastic.

If your sarcasm is obvious you don't need to say so.

[censored], sounds like gang wars. Having seen a total of maybe 4
minutes of bicycle racing in my whole life, I have no idea
what it looks like; if I find a jersey I like that's yellow,
now I have to worry about pissing off some jerk?
