Have any of ya'll seen the college jerseys? DH attended the University of Tennessee and we just found out that they have college jerseys! I've never seen anbody wear one, but we are thinking about them and since I'm a prior Razorback I'm thinking about getting one.
I wear one often (as does DH), it is a great conversation piece. Mine is actually from the Cycling team at the University and looks much better than the stuff a lot of places sell. The reason is better in our case is a lot of companies just cannot get the maroon right. I have done group rides where several former students stop me to ask where they can get one. :D

Is there a link to them? Or do you have to hunt down each college/uni individually?
Silver and I have matching jerseys from THE University of Alabama (not to be confused with other universities in Alabama). We even occassionally wear them in Indiana.
BUT, that "Rocky Top Orange" ...eek!:p

I think you need to contact each cycling club unless the jersey is mass produced. I know we found one for DH's school and we're going through the president of the cycling club. I think it's a way for the team to make a bit of money and it is a true team jersey. The poor guy doesn't even know what to charge yet, we contacted him saying "hey, can we buy one of these?" and he has one in DH's size!
Here's a link:

Thanks for the other links!
And love the Bama and Aggie jerseys! Sweet!
Ahem, I guess if your a Longhorns fan.
omg, you guys rock! That Nashbar site has everything :D
Pooks- Here is the link to cycling team for the Longhorns Cycling team. http://www.texascycling.org/ I am surprised you like the A&M Jerseys.
On thing, if you go through the school you might be able to get the matching shorts as well. My husband and I were able to get the whole kit and A&M sells it to the general public. They also have matching socks for sale.
Jenn- Univ. Of Tennesee has a cycling team, although their kits may not be what your DH wants. http://web.utk.edu/~cycling/
It doesn't look like there is a team at Arkansas. I wish I could find the picture of the man riding the MS150 last year with a rubber razorback over his helmet. :D
UT, most excellent! Glad you aren't thinking about any of those ugly Bama jerseys like the Silvers. :p SockGuy carries school socks. I have some UT socks.
Frequently a bike shop will be one of the team sponsors and will carry the jersey. I know that in Nashville, Cumberland Transit carries Vanderbilt jerseys.

I was being polite. After all, I realize that not everyone gets to wear that gorgeous burnt orange with a longhorn on their chest!Quote:

It broke my Dad's heart when I declined my acceptance to UT in favor of A&M. But seriously, the UT cycling team is a very nice group and I encounter them on many organized rides.Quote:

For those of us with curves, it seems "they" only make men's cut. If I'm going to spend that kind of money, I want a jersey bottom to stay down while I'm riding and not wind up around my waist. grumble, grumble, grumble.Quote:

I hear you, I have the curves to, and a "'man" jersey just isn't going to cut it. DH got the VOLS jersey (:D ) but I'm just getting the socks because this hips ain't gonna work with a men's jersey.:DQuote:

It's too bad, because I like the jersey and it's a conversation piece around here, where there aren't that many Sun Devils.
