except they don't do that at the TDF, they wait until the awards ceremony for each day. It's quick after the stage finishes, but it's not right after the guy crosses the finish line. Might be what it looks like on TV, but not the case.

Got it. So did they put the jersey on him at the awards ceremony? I can't find anything about it anywhere. So much for the hype.

If anyone does have a picture of the magical jersey, please post it here. I saw somone posted a picture on Twitter, but is was of low quality and one could not see the jersey and all of its awesomeness.

I don't know very much about it, just the bit that explained when they asked if they could use my picture. I think the idea is that triathlon - and Ironman - deserves to have it's own sort of "championship signature." Right now, athletes - myself included - use the rainbow stripes, but really, that's just taken from cycling. Neither running nor swimming uses them. But like the rainbow stripes, or the maillot jaune, or the maglia rosa, or (I would add the vuelta, but they just changed from golden to red)... I think it's a nice tradition.
So rather than "borrowing" from another sport, they are going to make their own.
That's all I know. Actually, what I know is just that there are going to be "champions jerseys" as part of a new honoring of the person who wins in Kona (not sure about Vegas). The rest is my own extrapolation from that conversation with WTC.
Wasn't Mark Allen one of the first if not the first to "borrow" the rainbow stripes? I think the bike jersey he wore at he 89 Ironman had the stripes, he had just won the World Champs in France earlier that summer.
And IIRC the UCI stepped in and told him to stop wearing the stripes.

That's not stopping MACCA from still wearing them currently.
And from a staunch follower of Road Racing, he's not wearing the correctly. You only should wear them across the chest whilst you're the reigning champ, and thereafter small bands on the cuffs, and as accents (like Rappstar does).

He is the current ITU long course world champ. Stripes across the chest is appropriate.
So what happened with this Jersey? Was it at the awards ceremony?

"After veteran in the sport Bob Babbitt gave some of his own observations (Natascha Badmann’s 5:06 bike split and Kenny Glah’s 29th IRONMAN), the age group awards got well under way. From the fresh-faced 18-24 year-olds to the 80-plus age group that drew especially enthusiastic applause, every group champion was “crowned” with their new Champions’ Jerseys."

Still no picture of the mythical Champions’ Jerseys. Anyone who has pictures of the Champions’ Jerseys, please post here.

I think this is a great marketing idea! Should have been done in 1980.

I'm thinking if you are copying some other federations copywrited jersey and are astute enough to change in just enough to not get a seize and desist order, appropriate isn't the proper word.

I think they are trying to branch out more marketing but it does seem like a yellow jersey idea.

IIRC, age group winners got a red polo shirt in 2004 with a discreet embroidery mentioning the AG and year on the chest. This was definitely meant as some kind of "winner jersey".
I think Joe Bonness got one maybe you can track him or Sue down for confirmation.

Pete Jacobs was seen waitng at the expo 'Champion Merchandise' tent the following day. He purchased a mug but the jersey at $200 was a little too much.
So what happened with this Jersey? Was it at the awards ceremony?

I think it looks nice. I have been one of the biggest critics of the rainbow for tri, but no issue with a jersey, just not another sports jersey.

Congrats. How about a badge to go on your tri top or suit? Any idea what that will look like?
