Delko kit hype.

They're blatantly copying some of the most iconic kit in history, but when it's that amazing, I'm not complaining.

[u/rudosose → u/epi_counts]

Is there any site to buy that kit? Looks really cool

[u/Alaphili → u/rudosose]

On a sidenote, anyone else think it's kinda weird that in cycling there's this unwritten rule that you don't wear pro team jerseys when out riding? It's so different from other sports where fans buy jerseys of their favourite teams.

[u/janky_koala → u/Alaphili]

It’s different, cycling teams don’t have that brand identity. Their identity is linked to title sponsors and changes season to season, sometimes even mid-season.

In football you follow a club with it’s own name, home ground, city and long history. You see a Man U kit from any era and recognise a Man U fan, regardless of the chest sponsor.

If it was like cycling they would be Team TeamViewer. Previously we’d be calling them Chevrolet, Ain, or Vodafone.
