Best and Worst National Champs jerseys

[May0maniac]

He's not wearing it yet, but we will see soon how it looks on person.

Is it just me or is Uran looking way thinner than he was last season?

I think they were thinking that he was going to be alot smaller as well, by those tiny skinsuits.

Seriously. Seeing those things off it's no wonder the horizontal stripes turn into chevrons once they're put on (see Cav's, British kit last year for example)

Its a Vermarc thing. They sponsor Lotto Soudal aswell, and look at Greipel's suit from his Tour stage win last year:

LOL.
Uran looks really slim in this picture.

Vermac pro teams clothing is made by italian APG, which owns Al?, Giordana, DMT and Cipollini.

Anyway the version Greipel was wearing was a different model with the front opening (almost) like a normal jersey.

An ex pro friend of mine always says you can't stand up straight in a good skin suit

Not being biased but I do think Peter Kennaugh looks class in the British Champions Jersey

Randomly Rapha are releasing some Sky jerseys for Belgium, Italy, France and Spain. I can only see Belgium so far.

I don't usually like team-branded kit much, I'm not much of a Sky fan (and loathe the company), but that's a lovely jersey.

I'm guessing the Italian one will show up for the Giro, and so on.

Love that jersey and would happily buy it, look forward to seeing the others.

 

[BigMac]

It's a nice looking jersey, yes.

An overpriced nice looking jersey, still.

Well, thet need to hire a Belgian rider and get him to win the BK 2015 or 2016.
Nice jersey anyway.

Best reply I have ever seen on CN. I really did LOL. Thank you for this

 

[Netserk]

I don't like it. It's down there with Gilbert's shorts.

That "Belgian jersey" in itself is... meeh!
Not one that makes you go "WOw", nor one that makes you go "MY EYES! THEY HURT!"

I just don't see the point of it. Why design a national champion jersey if you haven't got said country's national champion, or even a rider from said country?

To sell it. Nobody ever went broke by underestimating the taste and discernment of the public.

They will probably do other tricolours fir the Grand Tours as well.

So, Sky are the KISS of cycling?

No, Rapha are.

I like the jersey. I'd never wear it as it's a) Sky and b) Rapha, but it's a good looking, classic jersey designed to celebrate the Belgian races. I'm sure there'll be French and Italian ones coming too, looking forward to seeing how they look (and if you can get them without the Sky logo on!).

Small point, it's not a champions jersey, the same way this isn't:
