GiveusaB Posted March 13, 2023 Report Share Posted March 13, 2023 Not sure I see the benefit/point of making Teams all wear the same 'suits' .... good old fashioned 'bibs' are my preferred choice and a great souvenir for the kids (replica's from track shop) etc.... Besides, there's that many guest appearances these days..... Whatever happened to 'individual expression'...the world is full of conform this and conform that..... Sorry...going off on a bit of a tangent here.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bagpuss Posted March 13, 2023 Report Share Posted March 13, 2023 I can't think of another team sport where members aren't in exactly the same attire. It's now 25 years since they were first introduced and still we have teams not using them in the UK, not wanting to look professional and give themselves an identity. Looks so amateurish IMO. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No extras, no postage , they were collected by a member of staff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For guest cover ive always liked the jerseys printed up to look like the race suit, which is why ive always been surprised no team has gone for just the jerseys. Im going big with £50 each and get 20 in as riders will lose, forget, ruin them. Still only £1000 and creates better unity whilst still allowing individuality of a riders own suit underneath. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think both go hand in hand really, I've always liked team race suits, but no way should a rider pay for them, one form or another of sponsorship is essential, commercial or fans, just shows that all clubs need a good promotion to sort it.

mac101 Posted March 14, 2023 Report Share Posted March 14, 2023 pretty sure buying a full set of team suits will be cheaper deal than buying one , plus the makers want there suits being used and will give them a great deal for that, most clubs get the suits sponsored by a fan or company who pays for them and then gets the suit at the end of the season to keep so clubs don't really pay for them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
