Big Firm vs Boutique - Who do you prefer

Re:

I love custom cycling kits. Some clubs come up with very rad stuff. They're often very expensive though. Would buy a few If I had the coin.

I usually wear a blank/solid colour jersey from any brand, as long as it's a reasonable price.

Some really nice designs on those instagrams. Ta for posting.

I am a solid black bottoms(long&short)and solid colour jesery,mostly red or green.

I have no brand allegiance. Price, comfort and fit.

Whatever fits and then time will tell if what fits also lasts. I think the only thing I wouldn't wear is some teams full kit. Even my own clubs full kit I wear very half-heartedly. I have a 50% rule. If I wear a Mapei short sleeve it will always be with black bibs or if I ride after work in some yellow fluo bibs (of some russian/danish team) for better visibility it will be with a solid colour shirt. As far as brands go, it can be very hit and miss, I prefer the LBS where I can try things on, little brand loyalty altogether but I do like how some Endura kit has lasted.
