What is everyone's opinion on wearing one of these helmets? I think it is neutral enough to wear without betraying the World Champion position. Opinions?

If I saw that on the street I would not have associated it with world champion unless explicitly told.

Don't do it, just go matte black and you won't have to live with the guilt of betraying the WC

If you have to ask the question, you already know the answer.

bears no resemblance to uci stripes, more like a pegoretti paint job

if it doesn't clash with the rest of your stuff, go for it

That is terrible logic.

@sungod, that's what I thought, just wanted to see what other roadies saw when they looked at it.

Thanks all

How would this be betraying the WC? If anything buying this helmet is helping his bottom line. The more WC swag Specialized sells the better they will feel about the sponsorship deal.
