[theyoungest]

BEST

Dean Downing, GB (Crit champ)

You serious? The English champs jersey is terrible, if only because the print has nothing to do with England.

Hey, it's pretty cool that Holland and Luxembourg have the same flag, let's use it as well!

 

[Netserk]

Best: Koos Moerenhout in the Dutch jersey

LOL! I remember how much fail it was when I saw it... luckily for RaboFail they managed to get the real one quickly afterwards

EDIT: über fail @ me... thought it was the picture of the fail one #shameonme

 

[Havetts]

LOL! I remember how much fail it was when I saw it... luckily for RaboFail they managed to get the real one short afterwards

Yea.. that one isnt the best and real version, but too lazy to get the real one

Lol, you just annoyed a whole bunch of Scots and Welsh! If they did separate champs' jerseys for England, Scotland and Wales the jerseys would probably ALL be way better than the British one though.

I agree with Pisti, Movistar and Leopard/Radioshack 2012 are making some of the absolute worst national champs jerseys known to man.

Some of my recent favourites:

(awww)

(I can't stand Cabreira, but that is one sweet kit)

It's me who doesn't remember very well. There was a jersey one year, where the colours weren't in the right order, but now I can't remember which one

Agreed. (although its British Champ, not English)

Its time there was a re-think as the jersey really has no British identity whatsoever. Although historically, our track and field athletes etc have worn the same jersey (no idea why).

 

[MrRoboto]

I really liked Hushovd's Cervelo-jersey.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

More good ones:

(much like the German pre-Radioshack, I didn't know you could make a bad Norway jersey until Katyusha proved me wrong)

 

[DominicDecoco]

[Cancellator]

When I mentioned it many people said that it has a strong history in British sports etc. That might be true, but they should improve it somehow. Maybe not make the lines horizontal. At least the Aussie jersey doesn't look like a different country's flag... (or maybe Brazil?! still...).

EDIT: This is one of the best I think. They did a terrible job of it afterwards at Leopard/RSNT...

 

[Havetts]

Surprised this hasnt been posted yet:

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Now for horrible ones (limiting myself to non-Movistar and non-Radioshack. For the record, the old Movistar Spanish kit was even worse than the current one).

(there's two for the price of one in this photo!)

 

[nvpacchi]

Some of my recent favourites:

(awww)

maybe my alltime favorite champs kit.


Of course Bettini knows how to pull off the tri-colore

 

[The_Z_man]

Robbie Hunter's SA champ kit is pretty cool.

The worst was Levi's that someone beat me to above.

Velo Snooze has a good gallery of best/worst champ kits.
