Indeed. This is how it's supposed to be.

Surely good looking jerseys, especially Hushovds. Funny how much hate Cancellara's 2012 and 2011 swiss champ jersey gets when Michael Schärs jersey is no better in regard to the size of the swiss flag.
The swiss champ Leopard/Radioshack jerseys of 2011-2012 were awesome looking IMO

Those BMC jerseys are beautiful. BMC and FDJ are setting the standard for sure. I just browsed through the entire thread, and some designs just make no sense to me. Zoidl's jersey barely has the flag visible anywhere, just on the arm. That's supposed to be for FORMER champions, not the current champ.

Don't like the BMC swiss design, should be something like this:

 

[Afrank]

Last couple years before this year Kohler's jersey was like that. The change from the traditional full red is kind of nice IMO.

Nice idea to give fans chance to choose how will the jersey look. And please God don't let them choose the black one. Other two are looking very good!

If you have facebook account don't wait and choose between the tricolore and the white one!

The one with yellow as the dominating color is really cool.

 

[Netserk]

The problem with the black is not the black itself, but the flag colours filling too little and being too high. Other than that I like all three, though the white reminds me of the one they use in WC, and the black (with my suggestions) with Coldeportes. So yellow it is

In addition to what Afrank said, making it more white provides contrast with the standard red BMC jersey. Roulston's All Black kit would have benefited from a similar bit of contrast, I think. (Though the fern is a nice touch. Indeed, it's the only distinguishing feature of the kit.)

Please everyone, vote for the yellow one. All three are good, but that one is just fantastic. Nice idea to let the fans decide too.

That's a mod order BTW!

And Yellow winning at the moment 257 likes vs. 234 for white, and 128 for black.

 

[BigMac]

Sorry gonna go with the white one.

Thanks for sharing.

Can anyone identify as to why this kit was designed or who was supposed to wear it as I've never seen anyone in the peloton with it?

The black one is really nice. Remember, its designed to be on the bike, maybe how its viewed from a helicopter or when in the drops. Don't think about how it looks standing around

The yellow looks too much like a GC lead in TDF & related races.

He does ride for Coldeportes and has written in the WC team last few years. Imagine him in the drops, black looks good

Well it's clearly for a New Zealander national champion, cannot tell if from 2012 or '13. Don't know, perhaps just an experiment. Anyone knows if Saxo was interested in having a NZ rider in '12 or '13?

Edit: It was never an official design. It's a fan-made design which can only be found on some websites. Got to say it looks neat. It's ok to have a jersey like that and use those brands on a custom made kit as long as one doesn't compete with it. Dunno about the websites using them for commercial benefits.

 

[Netserk]

I'm quite sure it's a fan-made jersey.

They shoulda used it as the team kit! It's gorgeous.

@BigMac I'm guessing that's not a fern, but a nod to the eagle/hawk thing on Saxo kits of yore.

Nah it is. If you open the link it clearly says in the url it is the NZ kit. Also I found it being sold as a NZ kit.

Yellow tri-color wins!

We've passed the 10.000 fans! And there's no other way to celebrate and share it with you than presenting our official winner, because you requested it... HERE IT IS: MIGUEL ANGEL RUBIANO'S JERSEY!
Thank you all for your support!

damn- I hate that shirt- It looks to me like a Futboll jersey

I have seen that jersey before, and originally it wasn't presented as NC jersey.

This is the jersey that won the contest:

Now let's hope Rubiano gets his visa to go to the Giro.

Definitely a better choice than the white which looks a bit too similar to the world champion's jersey in my opinion, and anything is better than black
