One stripe and solids, that's all you ever need.

It's a pity Quickstep didn't swap to these last year. Would have made telling the difference between Quickstep, Katushka and Fuji-Servetto riders easier.

Blue kit + red bikes = huh?

I truly hope they will give them matching bikes.

If this be the case, Mr. Januss, then I would suggest the current batch of DS's start rummaging around in the back of their closets if they want to create a kit anything near as awesome as these:

Awesome 1
Awesome 2
Awesome 3 (I know...I couldn't stop staring either!)
Awesome 4 (quite possibly the single most awesomest jersey I have ever witnessed!)

Awesome 3 is possibly the best jersey I have EVER seen. AWESOME!!

I reckon it looks great. Maybe make the red lines on the jersey a little more solid and visible and i reckon we have a winner for kit/bike combo

I wonder what Hincapie is going to do to the BMC jersey. He originally said that it needs a lot more red in there... anyone seen them?

Yeah, I would have to give Le G-men the forever #1 Ugliest Ever award -- ever. Wow.

nope that award still goes to castorama

They wanted to, at the RVV to make it a special occasion....of course they "forgot" that they have to register the jersey with the UCI first to see if it conforms to regulations. So, obviously, when they showed up at the start line with it they were told they had to change back to their usual (legal) shirt.

They ended up just barely making the start of the race.

This one must be in the running for worst pro kit ever:

Don't look if you're prone to seizures.

Still think the FdJ kit is currently the best in the peloton - clean and classy, although I wish they'd stuck with the blue shorts instead of the white.

I loved the zebra train, I have the full kit and wear it once in awhile. My vote for best kit ever is Rock Racing, my closet is full of thier stuff.

The Carrera Jean bibs definitely are up there in the most hideous category.

Agreed, 100%. Nothing even comes close to how hideous those kits were.

Yea, because those stripes get really trippy when you are high...

The only thing as ugly as that kit is the mullet that Brochard is sporting in that pic.

 

[Winterfold]

That Castorama kit is so hideous it's genius.

What was he doing - moonlighting as a handyman or swimming pool cleaner in pornos?

 

[Ripper]

Agreed, 100%. Nothing even comes close to how hideous those kits were.

Oh man! That brings back some memories, some that I wish had remained hidden. Brochard's mullet was too funny, and those jersey's were just super nasty!

 

[issoisso]

That picture is nothing. They looked far more hideous while the riders were bent over their bikes racing.

And when the kits were wet with rain....oh man they looked so much worse even. The 1991 kit was the worst of them all.

Then again, Brochard makes any kit look worse

 

[Bala Verde]

Here is a sitewith some older jerseys....

Carrera Denim...

Jelly Belly...

TVM also missed the mark...

Histor Sigma...

And lotto just has a long line of ugliness, I present Lotto Superclub.

A few years ago my father bought me that aqua and sapone zebra print... It´s one of the winter ones though. It´s a very good shirt/jacket. I have a suspicion theyt fellows he bought it off( i think it was mail order) cheated him a bit he was telling me it was a fass bortolo shirt(although why he´d want to buy me this is a mystery) so i think he ordered one shirt and they gave him this one cause no one else wanted it.....

I quite like it but even I feel a bit odd wearing about and about especially as it is quite puffy too:S


christmas present btw... not sure it is always the best idea to give winter clothes for christmas though. I think you´re through the worst of winter by christmas..


ah 2010 jerseys I like katushas. is pozzattos national champions shirt staying the same. It looked good... The rest of the shirts are standard rubbish though.

 

[luckyboy]

This Lotto jersey someone posted a few pages back is the nicest jersey I think I've ever seen. If only the Vermarc and Campagnolo logos were golden too.. I liked the Renault-Elf-Gitane jersey of Fignon/Hinault and the Cafe Colombia jerseys too.

FdJ is obviously the nicest from the current lot. I like SKIL though too. I wish there was a yellow kit like Saunier's still in there to add a bit of colour.

 

[The_Z_man]

Here's my entry for worst jersey ever.

Whoever came up with the idea of using that shade of green should have gotten a lifetime ban from the UCI.

 

[aarnold517]

im going to miss the elk-haus jersey. with that dark green and red it was like the ultimate christmas jersey year-round

and i wonder if plaza's national champion jersey will be like valverde's with a few red and yellow stripes, or like rodriguez's from two years ago that was all red and yellow...personally i hope it's like rodriguez's, that was probably my favorite national champion jersey all-time

Like Rodriguez's no doubt. Valverde's was different only because he was the big name on the team and the sponsor demanded he always wear their colours. The same happened with Induráin when the team was named Banesto.

What about this jersey....tasty.
