We Like Sports And We Don't Care Who Knows

Sports fans love to show support for their favorite teams through merchandise, such as bumper stickers on their cars, posters in their rooms, wearing team jerseys in public, etc. Fans of cycling are no different; we show the world how much we love the sport through wearing pro team jerseys, simply because they look so pro.
Big fan of Tyler Farrar? Nothing like a Garmin-Slipstream kit to show that!
Some people say that "if you don't ride for that team, don't wear that jersey". Well guess what, it's cool to wear jerseys of teams that you don't ride for, especially pro team jerseys. It's even better if you race in them because your rivals might think you're actually a pro rider in the Cat 5 crit. When you attack, they know there's no way they're going to reel you back in. Just watch their pain faces through your helmet mirror and laugh.
Cervelo TestTeam kit while riding a Cervelo. So PRO!
You'll never be a world champion like Paolo Bettini, but that doesn't stop you from looking like him.
Last tip: when it's cold outside, it's fine to cover up your pro team jersey with a neon jacket. Better stay warm than freeze out there.
