Show Us Your Kit - Team Kit pictures needed
Please post a set of pictures of your team's kit, whether it's new or if you guys (and gals) have worn the same one for a year or two. But I don't just want a standing shot of your front or back, though post one if you want to show off your sponsors and smile for the camera. What I really need are photos of riders in position on the bike from a couple of angles: Side (showing shoulder and thigh), and a Rear view showing the back and backside if there's a logo there too. Amongst these shots I'd like to see the colors of your kit (or kits if you've got multiple ones this season), and the color, shape, text and size of the logos on your torso, sides, shoulders, thighs and rump.
For those who don't know me, I'm one of those folks in blue and khaki who help out figuring who came in first or thirty-first. Sometimes it's easy to pick the winner or the lantern rouge, and at others it's not. So you'll often see us huddled under a blanket (to keep down glare) paging frame-by-frame through video footage of your criterium sprint trying to pick out riders. When we do that we're trying to read numbers, but glare, other riders, or your arms placed in just the wrong position makes that tough. At those times we then try to see if we can identify the team of the rider and then by process of elimination figure out who is whom. In those cases, knowing the shape and colors of the logo on your upper shoulder, or the typeface used on the side panels of your jersey can be critical.


Our Team is racing in the high-performance garments made by CyclesFANATIC.com and loving it! Great stuff at great prices!
I wish I could still post the pictures of myself when I was still that young and having some fun with my team.
Attached are some pics of the 2011/12 Reno Wheelmen Team Kit
Here's the kit colors for the Health is Wealth Racing Team.
Whether in yellow or pink, I don't think you'll be mistaking us for anyone else. ;-)

Thanks guys - I'm printing this out and taking it to Madera.
Looks like Team Specialized, Team Fremont, Team Iron Data Thirsty Bear, Team Oakland and Team Fun Sport Bikes want to be in the results.
C'mon folks, I know there are a few other teams out there - bug your friends to get their pics up here. Your hard working camera crews will appreciate your help.

A day that I'm on the bike is a good day.
