Ok...I have a good one to add to this thread.
As I am riding today with two other teammates (all of us in our bright pink, blue and yellow kits with our team name written down our back and legs), we pass a rider. As we are passing he says, "Do you guys race for a team?" We say, "Yes." He asks, "Which one?"
uhh....Team CSC?....Here's your sign!

People ask me and my husband that all of the time.... I guess people are just so used to cyclists wearing kits from teams they don't belong to, that they don't even think.

Well, if these folks were soccer fans, you could'a said "We don't race for this team. We just beat them at the last meet and swapped jerseys."
Half-marathon over. Sabbatical year over. It's back to "sacking shirt and oat cakes" as they say here.
