seahorse Posted January 19, 2016 Posted January 19, 2016 OK so if black is really nowhere near as visible, or as cool, as white - why so many black jerseys out there? Sky fashion?
T-Bob Posted January 19, 2016 Posted January 19, 2016 It's sliming, you look like a ninja, fashion model, hangman, james bond in a dinners suit and as every fashionista knows the most important piece in your wardrobe is the LBD.
BarHugger Posted January 19, 2016 Posted January 19, 2016 OK so if black is really nowhere near as visible, or as cool, as white - why so many black jerseys out there? Sky fashion?Because of orange......
GLuvsMtb Posted January 19, 2016 Posted January 19, 2016 OK so if black is really nowhere near as visible, or as cool, as white - why so many black jerseys out there? Sky fashion?because white bibs, tops, shoes, gloves and helmetsĀ are so 5 years ago.
MaxUmis Posted January 19, 2016 Posted January 19, 2016 I often wonder the same.Ā I then try and look objectively at how visible certain coloured kits of the riders I pass actually appear to me.And it sounds dof, but in my opinion there are colour/combinations that seem less visible than black on a clear and sunny day.IMO baby blue and white tops do a good cammo job when it's bright outside. The ones I've seen might as well wear Harry's special cape.
'Dale Posted January 19, 2016 Posted January 19, 2016 It hides the boepIt is easier to keep cleanIt is more aero-dynamic as it absorbs the fast moving air rushing up to meet you - must be worn with black socks too for max aero gainsĀ Ā Ā
Mongoose! Posted January 19, 2016 Posted January 19, 2016 Because after the first wash you white kit is cream... Ā cricket kit cream Ā Ā
Tumbleweed Posted January 19, 2016 Posted January 19, 2016 It's sliming, you look like a ninja, fashion model, hangman, james bond in a dinners suit and as every fashionista knows the most important piece in your wardrobe is the LBD.Ā Technically, ninjas shouldn't look like anything as you're not supposed to see them...Ā Ā And Bond on a bike might not look too suave...Ā
Tumbleweed Posted January 19, 2016 Posted January 19, 2016 Have to take what I posted about Bond on a bike maybe not looking urbane...Ā Schorry...Ā
jimmycool Posted January 19, 2016 Posted January 19, 2016 It also gives you somewhere to wipe your hands when they get chain grease on them.
Thomo Posted January 19, 2016 Posted January 19, 2016 Slimming, stealth, and sexy judging by carbon29er's post. Ā Thx.!And apparently practical too given some of the other posts.
raptor-22 Posted January 19, 2016 Posted January 19, 2016 black is not warmer than white, just ask those nomadic people who wander the SaharaĀ Black is a better platform for other colours to stand out from which actually improves your visibility unless your are wearing fluo colours
gummibear Posted January 19, 2016 Posted January 19, 2016 Black kit looks great on the road but bright colours for mtb.Ā http://g02.a.alicdn.com/kf/HTB1EFUjKXXXXXcBXpXXq6xXFXXX3/Factory-Outlet-MOLTENi-font-b-cycling-b-font-font-b-jersey-b-font-2015-black-color.jpg
