There was a time when nobody wore team suits, you identified the riders by their individual leathers / Kevlars 

I actually thought  the Pirates looked good with the 'old fashioned' race jackets on .

 Just my opinion

It was easier to pick out individual away riders when they had their own leathers.

If not team kevlars then at least 'wear what you like but in team colours'.  e.g. blue / white for Poole, gold / black for Wolves, etc....

Like the team Kevlars. But ...... expensive business way teams hire and fire mid season.

Steve Gresham at Swindon had those all down his arms.

The last time he visited Swindon for a testimonial he even had rabbit ears stuck on his helmet, that was funny.

Then you had riders like Wiggy easily identified by the green and white machine and matching leathers 

I even think his bike trailer was green and white as well

I remember Mel Taylor had tassels. John Davis was another colourful chap in his pink and white kit.

Didnt Klindt and Harris both have suits made?

Isnt it the introduction of those 2 (and their suits :P) that most are saying made the difference.......? :)

Usually like team suits and agree it's a uniform that should be worn but it does take you back when they all look different but have a traditional race jacket on. Maurer in his green check, With in green, PC in his flames etc I'm now 50/50 on it.

 

I will add though that we need to be helping the British Kevlar makers out. In Poland riders can only wear Kevlar made by a Polish company and most suits here are made by Polish company by riders arranging them to be made by design from the team.

 

Why can't Britain help the ravesuit makers here like GTS Colin White DSTAR etc and suits worn here have to be British made
