I have been given many a Qhubeka kit as part of a few events and tours,

Would I prefer a full black assos Kit, of course but I can't afford it so I wear what I have.

The only time I have become really concious about the Qhubeka kit is after I bought a Qhubeka trek from a pro friend of mine.

I will avoid wearing my Qhubeka kit when on the Qhubeka trek!

Why? You have a chance to make someone else's day when they pass you on a hill. Hell, they may even buy you a coffee... No one knows the entire team of Qhubeka, as they are a real United nations mix... Live the dream..

It is called a PRO kit for a reason. Nothing wrong with wearing a vest/gillet/jacket to show your support for the team, but to race in the kit... It has to be kept in mind that the pro's earned that kit and is quite an honor to wear it and race in it. It all boils down to preferences I presume, but lets give some respect where respect is due.

In my opinion your comment is valid for something like world championship kit with rainbow stripes & all or a TdF yellow jersey.

 

But wearing the jersey of a pro team is pretty much just supporting that team which is something which the members if that team will appreciate.

I'm starting to think banning the wearing of replica kit could have it's upsides

And remember, as a South African you must wear your Rugby team's jersey on a Saturday, I mean when coach calls, you gotta be ready!

OR when the REF is having a MARE and you need to take it into your own hands

I was there that day...missed the incident though. Long story...but I was wwearing SAB garb. I don't work for them, but they had paid for my tickets, hotel and booze. Was it wrong to wear SAB kit?
