black is in for 2007

Several teams, most notably Discovery, are making black prominent in
their 2007 jersey designs:

Discovery, Navigators, and Priority Health each have most of their
jersey fronts devoted to black, with AMD/US National and Health Net
using it relatively strongly.

My attempts to introduce black into a team I was with when living in
Texas was met with resistance, first for claims it would be too hot,
then for safety for riding at dusk. The safety factor is a good one,
but I wonder at the quantitative effect of dark jerseys in the heat.

Polar Bears, Jobst Brandt informed me of yesterday, have black skin.

So do a lot of native Africans. The pigment of polar bears skin may have
little to do with heat absorption. Interestingly, polar bears have
essentially zero infrared signature except for their breath and farts.

anything would be better than the Team Chipotle agyle hideousness - with
black knee-highs nonetheless!

and apparently they (polar bears, that is) know that when they lie flat
in the snow, the only thing visible is their nose. When lying in wait
for a snow hare to come close enough to catch, they'll cover their nose
with a paw, so that they're completely invisible to the hare.

It's the arctic version of the comb-over. Except in the case of polar
bears it kinda works.

They're ripping off my team

And Disco ripped off the basic layout of my old team's jerseys with
the big circle and the vertical writing:

I don't like my current jerseys for riding at dusk/in the dark.

I like the black. The opposite was when we were designing clothing one year
the resistence was against other colors that were not black(er) or dark
enough. Specifically the shorts. It was the old "I need somewhere to wipe my
greasy hands!"

You really need a color that disguises wiped off snot.
