'Dale Posted January 5, 2011 Share I have 2 x pair of Sidi socks with World Champ colours.Wear them every now-and-then.Of course, many riders have jerseys, helmets, etc, with these colours. Is it ice cool or just plain silly to wear them? Here is honouring Hushovd's win in Oz Land last year with their Bont brand: http://cdn2.media.cyclingnews.futurecdn.net//2011/01/05/1/vaypor_wce_150.jpg Edited January 5, 2011 by AirBender Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
headhunter Posted January 5, 2011 Share Discussed this yesterday on the ride........no differnce between wearing Pro full team gear and World Champ stripes for the everyday rider. If you like it, bugger what anyone else thinks, as long as you are happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndreZA Posted January 5, 2011 Share Just don't wear a polka dot top if you can not climb. The rest is okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

headhunter Posted January 5, 2011 Share It's only uncool if you wear white shorts with rainbow stripes on them... And white SIDI's if you don't carry wet wipes on the ride with you, to keep them clean :D Edited January 5, 2011 by headhunter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MariusL Posted January 5, 2011 Share And white SIDI's if you don't carry wet wipes on the ride with you, to keep them clean :D White Sidi's are for the cool kids... wet wipes are optional As for Giro pink... only if you have a matching pink short, socks, helmet and shades... but then you'll look like a girl Edited January 5, 2011 by MariusL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Dale Posted January 5, 2011 Share Wearing Saxobank colours or HTC-Highroad is another matter... Laaik dudes who wear Liverpool or Springbok rugby jerseys. It is fanfare at its best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No ways - those are the rules for socks if you were racing in the '80s... on the updated list, all the cool kids will wear black socks with brilliant white Sidi's... If you argue, I'll beat you and steal your tuck shop money! Edited January 5, 2011 by MariusL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
