Rock Racing

Guess I'm old enough that bad-boys (and all the drama & ego that come with them) hold no appeal anymore. Hate the skull. Reminds me of every little punk out there in a lowered Honda pretending to be Racer X.

Hey gals,

This is really in response to all the skull-haters:-)

I think the Rock & republic logo that Rock Racing has incorporated into their cycling kits is not necessarily a way of showing off how "bad A$$" they are. Rock and republic has been a fashion mainstay for a few years (Michael ball got a lot of flack for his label when it first started too). Since he essentially runs Rock Racing, why not put his trademark logo on every part of their body?

I think it's great. Many people who may never have considered cycling to be anything more than the new golf will start seeing it as something exciting and rejuvinated. Ok--Michael Ball has a bad attitude. He shouldn't put people who have given cycling a bad name in the past on a pedestal. But I think after a few years they can really become as Bad A$$ as they claim they are now.

Well said Bicycluz, I think this team is just very polarizing. I actually like the kits, the are far from boring! Well the shorts I am not a fan of, but the jerseys I like. I do not like that they hired three guys knowing they would possibly not be able to ride if Operation Puerto was reopened and then whined about it when they couldn't start the ToC. I do like Cippolini and Fast Freddie Rodriguez. I like the Caddies- they make a statement. See, I can't even make up my mind about Rock Racing!
