I've been to Chromag HQ. Owned two frames, an Aperture and a Rootdown BA. I've overtightened stems, and busted the rails on a saddle slipping down a slope on a snowy night ride. And every time they have forgiven MY mistakes, and replaced the parts that I have broken from my own foolishness. I am eternally grateful for that. But really? Do I want unnecessary stitching across my chest on a riding jersey? Do I want it on my back as well? You should see the collection of speakers at HQ. They really are into Sound System culture, its not a pretense. It pains me to see this missed opportunity to really go where I'd like them to go, and take some cues from the greats. Why does that jersey look like something I'd rather not wear? Why not make it something that I would want to wear? That "Direct Sage" Jersey is almost exactly the same a a Fox Jersey I purchased in 2003. What is the point? Is there any purpose to this? I don't know why this agitates me as it does. I know I'm easily agitated, that's a given. But I really do not understand why in this day and age, there could be a little more thought and concept to the plastic riding gear we endure, but, it's not quite there yet.

@RonSauce: Oblong. Kid's of the 70's rejoice, there were a lot around at the time. For years as a child I thought that was what a rectangle was called. But a Rectangle sounded like a pterosaur, not a shape. And they were mostly brown, or orange. The Oblongs.
