Every year the Chicago Cuttin Crew gets together to document our growing team. A package arrives filled with hope and dreams for the coming season. The result of a drunken vote in December, the winning kit always ensures that we retain our crown as most stylish team in the Chicago peleton.

This year's kit, an exclusive design from the Jamie G-S collection, aims to channel the animal inside in all of us. Adept at hunting, stalking, speed, strength & grace (and also napping), the Leopard is our power animal for 2015.

Some say this year's kit is yellow, some say it may actually be spun gold, we're not too worried though, we'll be so far off the front this season that you won't even get to see it.

WE PRESENT TO YOU CCC TEAM KIT 2015 - The Leopard Edition

A few words of thanks:

We're lucky to have good friends on the crew. One of those friends has been with us since the start, and just happens to be one of the best photographers in the country, if you need confirmation of that you can just drop Vice President Joe Biden a line and ask him. Every year Chris Dilts makes us look like the most baller team in Chicago (which we are). Landscapes, wet n rainy, blacklights, leopard print, the man can do it all. He graciously fits us in to his tight schedule, and deals with our raucous behavior.

No photo shoot would be complete without a buffet table of delicious treats, and Tresa knows how to bring it. Pulled pork and lentil soup, a selection of drinks for all tastes, coffee on tap and a patient lady who let us invade her house on Mother's day.
