Thanks to the generosity of the people at USAC, this mountain bike season we will have Omnium leader jerseys for the category A men and A women. The omnium leader for the A men and the A women will be able to wear the omnium leader jersey at the next race (which of course means if you are the omnium leader one week and not the next, you are expected to show up the next week with a clean jersey to pass it on to the new leader. The omnium winners for the season will get to keep the jersey.
To get a peek at the jerseys, please take a look at this design. This was the final design - they are kind of a turquoise color (each conference has a different color background). The jerseys arrived here the other day and they look great!
Before you ask... yes, there will be one overall jersey for the A men and one for the women. It doesn't matter if you are a member of a D1 or D2 school for the purposes of earning the jersey.
Yes, there will be some for road season also.
And no, unfortunately there will not be any for the Bs and Cs at this point, so trophies will still be awarded. Maybe next year? Or perhaps we can use part of the conference funding next year to purchase additional jerseys for the Bs and Cs, or produce our own for those categories. We shall see.
This is kind of a "trial run," so please let me know how you like this idea!
Thanks!
