Jerseys - How many is too many?

[Robbin_G]

In theory, I only get to ride once or twice a week, so the two I have can easily be washed out and reworn. Not to mention the countless number of non cotton workout tops I have. (No back pockets though.) There's two I want right now (iris and hill slug) and I'm sure I'll get around to an event or two someday....

So, how many is too many?

Who out there wins for the most jerseys owned?

Oooo, ooo, ooo,(raising hand eagerly) I think I might be in the running for this one! I am at work right now, so I can't do a count til later. But I've been putting all my budgeted "clothing" money into jerseys for the past few months. I ride 5-6 times a week (except in winter) but still that hardly justifies the multitude of shirts I have amassed.

How many jerseys is too many? I think you may be asking the wrong crowd here, that's like asking Imelda Marcos how many pairs of shoes are too many.

The fact that I prefer to go shopping for cycling clothes rather than real clothes says something about me

But I suppose if you can't close your "jersey drawer", that might be a sign...

I have (that I can remember at work- might be missing one sleeveless, not sure)

6 tanks- love them all. 4 Shebeest, 2 Terry Presta

9 sleeveless- like four a lot, one's an event jersey, others may be seeking new homes. Nice for when I don't want as much sun as I get with a tank.

5 short sleeve- I don't really wear short sleeve any more. Either sleeveless, w or w/o bolero, or it's cold enough for LS

3 long sleeve- was only one till recently- but caught two that were on my wishlist since last fall on clearance. I didn't think I needed more than one, but I wore the heck out of that one, since I was riding more/in colder weather than any other year, so got two more.

Total: 23

I bet people can beat that!!

I am assuming we are only counting jerseys with pockets in them as opposed to tech shirts which one may wear underneath.

21 short sleeve. I tend to get them at events or places - and I firmly believe you cannot wear a jersey unless you have done the event! My favorites are my 3 death ride jerseys, Alpe d'Huez, Mont Ventoux, Mt. Tam Double, Cinderella 2001, and of course the Triple Crown jersey!

6 sleeveless. I have a triple crown one and a great barleywine one with flying pigs and pink bubbles!

2 tanks.

5 long sleeve.

i'm going to have to count, too.... but i know i have a LOT of jerseys!

Suddenly....buying 2 jerseys...making my total FIVE....doesn't seem that bad. I do wish they were sleeveless though. I'd love tanks but now I'm wondering if my new camelbak will rub my shoulder blades...
