Latest Cycling Jersey Fashion

I want to buy myself some new Jersey's but the latest ones seem to have lost the collar. Instead of the collar being around the neck it is now around the chest.

Why is this being done? Its nice to have a collar to keep the sun off the back of your neck and keep you warm when it gets chilly.

It seems to be modeled after middle eastern terrorist groups.

Aerodynamics.

In the last year or so, have added several "traditional" jerseys from Twin Six-collars, three pockets, full zip, and relatively easy on the eyes and wallet. They also offer some very outlandish designs currently-the landing page below will show some of those.

+1 - also prefer the traditional "collared" jersey designs.

Soon the designs will morph and allow the heartrate strap to be higher than the collar, lol......

Isn't that El Chapo?

That is what I first thought...but no: Khalid Shaikh Mohammed

I prefer the higher collars too....Rapha still does that, and it seems that the lower collars are on their flyweight and "pro" jerseys.

Maybe they will come out with new jerseys with no sleeves. Perhaps a tube top up to the armpits.

Thank you for that.

Even has the correct tan lines.

Now... to wipe the coffee that came through the nose off the laptop...

I hate the low / no collar designs. Not only does it add a few more inches of skin open for early season sunburn but it makes pencil-neck cyclists look even geekier.
