The subject of carrying advertising on race clothing in time trials is complicated. Basically if you are a member of a sponsored club (or a professional) you may carry your sponsor's name(s) on your race clothing. Other than that nobody may carry advertising on their race clothing in a time trial (except in club events) except, where the manufacturer puts his name on one of the products which he makes. Thus cycling shoes with the name of the manufacturer e.g. Sidi, Look, etc. may be worn but a racing vest or hat with the name of somebody who did not make it e.g. Raleigh, Campagnolo, your local cycle dealer etc., may not be worn unless they happen to sponsor your club. I think the rules on displaying makers names on bikes were lifted or relaxed in 1968 but all of the above still apply as far as I am aware.

Thats all for now. Keep those wheels spinning, in your memories if not still on the road. Be lucky Mick Butler Huntingdon UK.
