@LukeAlmighty I'm not sure what a "fress" is, maybe that's a typo on your part. But if you mean the shirts and pants cyclists wear, then they're not made to look good. They're made to be aerodynamic and light. Which usually entails being skin tight, and made from some shitty synthetic fiber, which, as a side effect, just looks hella gay.
So to answer the question, sports gear are intentionally made to look the way they do, but looking gay is an unfortunate coincidence and not the actual intention.
@LukeAlmighty Usually I'm good at figuring out when there's a typo, or bad grammar, and can decipher the message and ignore the mistakes. But I wasn't sure if "fress" was some cycling specific jargon I wasn't aware of.

I would agree at the top, but have you tried looking at the sporting goods shop in general? It is filled with neon colors that make my stomach turn.
@LukeAlmighty The neon colors are for visibility, so you stand out and people don't bump into you when you do sports outdoors. Not appealing in the slightest, I know. But it's function over fashion.
