In my local CX races it is rigidly enforced. We even got emailed about it by the governing body ---

I am an ambassador for a brand or two and wear their kits all the time (I obviously have their permission and they obviously want the exposure) but they aren’t registered as a USAC club and I don’t list them as my team either. And on cold/wet races I wear my Cannondale/Garmin Gabba jersey without anyone batting an eye (although I feel like a Fred wearing it, I really need to get a blank one, but got this one on an amazing sale a couple of years ago). The road races around here are pretty unwelcoming as it is and if I was told I couldn’t race in my ambassador kit I’d take my ball and go home likely never to return. ---

CX suddenly became interesting… ---

At the last meeting I was at with Scottish Cycling types, it was confirmed that the rule re: team kit this year was ‘somewhat relaxed’ across all categories but if following the letter of the law it’s still a case that you must wear the colours of your registered club, as held by B.C., or if non-club then a blank but NOT BLACK kit. However, commissaires now have official approval to use common sense to allow riders to wear non-team kit if a reason can be given (i.e. I crashed in my team skinsuit and it’s no longer usable)… Nice and clear, as always 🤣 ---

I would only race with the TR kit when I know I will win. LOL. ---

Maybe wearing the black & red will help you win. Won’t know until you try! 😉 ---

I thought everyone already new this “TR Kit adds 25watts” … I guess the word hasn’t gotten out yet. 🤫 ---

I think I get more smiles and waves when I ride in my TR Jersey. I could be imagining it though! [Previous page](https://www.trainerroad.com/forum/t/racing-in-a-trainerroad-kit/9140.md?page=1)
