    Quisp and Quake

    This summer I saw "Quisp" jersey during a triathlon. Americans my age (45) might remember them--they were characters from a cereal company when we were little. Quisp was a little Martian-type alien, and Quake was some he-man type guy. There was a constant rivalry between them...OK, I know it was pretend. Though I did prefer Quisp, and my dating life has borne out this early preference.

    Anyway....anybody ever seen such a jersey?

    In the same race, I saw a Ho-ho's jersey. You know, the Hostess snack cake? I love the irony in that. From a distance, it looks like lovely little swirls. But as I passed, I realized it was ho-ho's! I guess we know what he was carbo loading with! Yes, it was a guy!

    That Quisp jersey though.... L.

    It's Pearl Izumi, but so far I can't find who sells it.

    Wow! I thought maybe nobody would even know what I was talking about! Cool! (twiddling fingers like evil genius) Perhaps one day it will be mine! Mine! L.

    I did a search on Google for
    Pearl Izumi quisp jersey
    and came up with what may be some possibilities. I didn't try to order, so I don't know if the jersey is in stock - and I've never bought from these vendors, just a lucky search result.

    It looks like it's a 2004 jersey (or earlier)...

    Let us know how you make out!

    I may be wrong but I thought I saw that jersey in a Performance flier I have seen/and do remember Quist. I think the jersey has been out there for awhile. I just found out that Nashbar/Performance is carrying my alum jersey from Boston College Oh the wonderful things you learn when your not working!!

    Get on Pearl Izumi's website and look up their outlet stores. If you call one, I think they can see on their computer who has these jerseys. They were previous years' models.
