A cycling jersey is a specialized [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jersey_%28clothing%29"][/URL]jersey (shirt) for cycling. While the vast majority of cyclists worldwide wear conventional clothing while riding, a jersey offers certain advantages for the sport-oriented cyclist.
A **cycling jersey **is cut long in the back to accommodate the bent-over position used in sport-oriented cycling.
Any pockets on the jersey are placed on the back panel as front pockets would tend to spill. The zipper is often made very long so that the cyclist can open up the jersey to allow for ventilation.
The cycling jerseyc is usually worn with a tight fit in order to reduce air resistance.
Just ripped from wiki.
I would say wearing a jersey it should be tight, unless its form over function. If the latter, any pro gear away from that situation looks lame/scruffy.
For instance football sock should be pulled up.
Being a bit nitpicky here but 'technically' it kinda should :/
