The 2007 Wheeler Dealers Jerseys


This photo doesn't do the jersey justice. (I'd model it, but some of you may be trying to eat.)
As I mentioned earlier today, the Wheeler Dealers, our support crew, and other well wishers gathered to party go over our plans for next weekend.

Gerry's first order of business was to hand out the volunteers' official MS 150 t-shirts and to give some final instructions about where to meet and when. Next came some discussion about who's riding where with whom and what time we all needed to arrive in preparation for the ride. Finally, Bob and Gerry unveiled and presented the cool-looking 2007 Wheeler Dealers jersey, which Gerry's brother Carl so generously provided us.

Some of you already know that more than a few of this crew like to do a bit of gambling from time to time, and this influenced the jersey's design. I didn't know it until someone explained it to me, but black chips are worth $100, and green chips are worth $25. The observant among you will note that the values of the one black and two green chips on the front of the jersey total 150, and I'm assured that this is no coincidence.

On the back of the jersey, the face cards bear the likenesses of the loved ones for whom we're riding. Pretty awesome, huh?

Those jerseys are awesome! I love the "chip in" slogan and the pictures in the cards on the back. You guys will be riding high-stylin'.

Tink: Thanks. We'll be sure to get word back to Carl.

Adry: Wait... are 4 to 1 odds in our favor, or the pavement's? As the token non-gambler in the bunch, I don't understand the inner workings of these things. I was only brought on because [in a bad Scots accent] I'm dead sexy.
