2010 Jerseys Thread

Bmc

Stock bike colors or not ?

 

[Feldy82]

I was just going to ask about the 2010 BMC kit. Does anyone know what the stock kit is going to look like?

Yeah, are they going to make a special bike for him as he is WC?

 

[Alpe d'Huez]

Agree FDJ is still the best in the peloton. Really nice looking.

No matter what, nothing will ever top that Castorama jersey as the worst ever. It's not possible. Both RS and Astana are better than that.

I'm not too big on the Lotto kit, but like the simplicity, and that it will stand out.

The Domina zebra jerseys at least stood out, but I liked the sunset one much better.

There was a special Domina or Domina/Aqua Sapone kit that looked like this, but the colors were more subtle, a orange to brown sunset. Really nice looking, can't find a photo now.

This Domina was cool too:

Here's what the Joe Lindsay had to say about that hideous Castorama kit:

"In yet another misguided attempt to achieve “synergy” between the sport and its financial backers, the team unveiled the worst uniforms in cycling history, which attempted a kind of bib look to mimic the blue aprons that Castorama’s store staff wore...

....In 1992, the ultimate sponsor synergy was achieved when Laurent Brochard, who looks as if he should have been an after-hours stockboy instead of a pro racer, joined the team. The confluence of Brochard’s luxuriously flowing mullet and the apron look combine to make Castorama the Worst Cycling Team Uniform of All Time.

By those standards, RadioShack’s kit is positively radiant with style."

Rumors talk about some costum bikes both for Hincapie and Evans (more than one each).

 

[issoisso]

I like the new Cofidis jersey

I'm sure they'll get custom paint jobs, but I highly doubt they'll get custom bikes. The cost to make monocoque molds is prohibitively expensive.

Only 1 or 2 guys in the entire pro peleton get custom bikes. One was Bennati, and there might be one other. Bennati went through tons of custom aluminum frames until they got it exactly right, and only then did they make a custom mold.

In doing some research for this post (I couldn't remember who got the custom frame) I found a guy who makes custom monocoque frames. I wonder if he'll be licensing his process to the major bike makers, and custom build frames will make a comeback.

BMC is wearing hincapie brand. That stuff is crap.

I'll be honest... I like the ugly jerseys.

The uglier the kits... the more interesting. All the boring white/blue kits just get old. Give me a hideous kit over a plain one EVERY time.

All right. You asked for it

I see nothing wrong with that jersey.

Colorful, stands out, and it isn't the freaking blue/white quickstep/katusha/everyone else in the freaking universe that we see now.

 

[US Patent Exploding Cyclist]

Does anyone know if the Saxo Bank kit is changing? That has to be my favorite right now but the CSC kit was better.

To each his own.
The thing I remember about that kit was the shorts/leg warmers also being two sided, and when you saw a rider from the side, one was all colorful cubes and the other side view was all blue/white swirls. It took a while to get used to and realize swirly-man was on the same team as cube-man.

 

[UpTheRoad]

I liked the Clas-Cajustur jerseys back in the 80s-90s.

They had a few variations, but that one was my favorite.

I also liked the Ariostea one with red dominating over the yellow vs. the one with more yellow. Thought the Gatorade-Chateau d'Ax one was nice, too, though that was when neon was much more popular.




/sorry for the threadjack to earlier periods.
