    I'm not sure I can give you a specific answer, I probably did 7 or 8 charity cycles this year (mostly organised by local clubs) and definitely don't need/want a Souvenir Jersey from each one.

    But there are probably one or two bigger cycles I'll do next year that I'd appreciate some kind of a Souvenir from. So I'd probably prefer to have an option if it was possible.

    I like a medal as a memento. I never end up wearing the jerseys again as I find they never fit well.

    I like the idea of a medal, as long as it's as good as the Reservoir Dog one! A choice at the application stage seems a good idea to me. I don't mind jerseys but probably wouldn't wear t-shirts

    the best I got from a sportive was a mug from the first Ring of Clare cycle. Use it every day

    Any Jersey I got goes in a box and I might wear it on the Turbo.
    Have any medal I got hanging in the garage along with any “race number” or bike tag you get

    Our club got cycling caps made up for this years annual event. A bit of a novelty

    A small memento is nice, but i'd rather see more of the money go towards the charity.

    Unless it’s a particularly notable and big sportive then no, no need for a jersey. I have two that I got on sportives and I never wear either and I got another at another sportive that I cycled to and I left it behind me afterwards as I couldn’t be bothered to have it stuffed in my rear jersey pocket on the way home.

    Every charity ride jersey I’ve received over the years has been awful, too many logos, cheap materials, poor colour choices, not very well designed and a bad fit.

    I wonder if you had a decent company make a quality jersey with a good design would it be worn after the event and provide much needed advertising for the said charity.

    Because of the above I voted Neither btw.
