Most club kit is rubbish, the best thing about the pirate kit is how distinctive it is and isnt covered in shit logos.

I don't ever race in my club kit because the design and logos are rubbish. I always race in pirate kit.

I'm pretty sure I'm right in saying that (unlike running clubs/races) we are not rule-bound to wear "club" kit. I tend to race in pirate kit as most of my other stuff is tatty training kit.

Ok, Pirate kit it is to race in.It might even mean that the family spot me for once

race in whatever you want - if you don't have club kit then you can't quite race in it can you? technically for BTF affiliation my club is tritalk (it's free ffs!) but I won't wear their kit as i don't have any. I have pirate kit and other kit which is more comfy than the pirate stuff. I race pirate kit if there's a big turnout but otherwise I wear what I feel like on the day

Wear Pirate kit so people can see you. DEFINITELY wear it for Bala. Who was it complained after one IM race that he didnt get much support from the Pirates ? Maybe it was cos he wasnt wearing the kit, and you cant cheer everyone at a big race.

I'm affiliated to another club but always race in Pirate Kit, just comes down to personal choice, and which you'll get the better support for Even at races where I'm the only Pirate, people still recognise the Kit and shout encouragement.......or abuse

I race in Pirate kit whenever I can!! It's also great for supporting/sherpa'ing as well (at least my LS cycling top was in New York). Makes you easy to spot!
