I dare someone to buy this and take a photo of it on. Sure its only AUS$120.00 (argh).

There is some text on the side of the jersey that I cant quite work out. Anyone care to offer some alternatives (moo-untain biking, anyone)? (Sorry that was terrible, my brain is a bit mushy from biking tonight).

Please note it says ‘One eyed willy’ on the side of this jersey…

Now, I saw this and thought that I would instantly hate it and set it as an ugly bit of clothing. But… after much deliberation it has actually grown on me. I think it is so bad that it has the cheesy factor. I give you Pearl Izumi’s Crazy Girl 2007:

I know everyone always raves about Assos stuff (and unfortunately my budget at the moment prevents me from even being in the same room as them) but this was a particular horror:

Which reminded me of a certain 80′s jacket…

While job searching (ok I lie, all I do is read bike blogs all day) these two gems caught my eye:
The blurb attached to this jersey ‘Prowl around the neighborhood, leap over hills and look sleek doing it in the Gold Leopard Bellissima jersey!’ is as bad as the leopard print jersey itself:

Grr
Ok, I may be being a bit cruel with this one as a group of women did do a charity cycle wearing them BUT COME ON… Could you not have chosen something less 21 Jump Street (courtesy of World Jerseys)?

Found some shockers today on www.leisurelakesbikes.com.
Unless you were some sort of Death Metal fan (and I would be partial to the old White Zombie now and again) I cant see this Northwave jersey being a big seller.

Deathly
I’ve seen the mens version of this on some unfortunates around the place, but this is probably the best example of a jersey designed by men for women

Did someone say spaceage? This fecal coloured Mavic jacket has to be one of the more ugly garments seen on CRC.

Bit of a ranty one here but some of the shite that manufacturers expect women to wear on bikes borders on criminal. So, I have decided to showcase the worst of the lot:
Take this Primal jersey… orange psychedelic butterfly on chest – check, shiny clingfilm style fabric – check, Riverdancesque icon on sleeve – check.

Shudder
And another classic from Primal (oooo tableclothy).

Tableclothy
And a final one for today – if Vera Duckworth were to Freeride (Sombrios Finest)
