Best and Worst National Champs jerseys

[May0maniac]

Re: Re:

Aru gone full tricolor! Beautiful. Nibali must be pissed he didn't get what he deserved

Apparently Aru is a true Sardinia. He told Astana he ain't gonna accept anything else but a tricolore champ jersey!

Surely then he'd want a quattro mori jersey

Aru would probably prefer that to the NC jersey, remember him with the Sardinian flag on the Vuelta podium?

 

[Valv.Piti]

Demare, Aru and Naesen with some very good jerseys. I especially like Aru's as I had hoped Astana would have gonna with a proper jersey and they did, its beautiful. Can't complain about the gorgerous Belgian NC jersey either. Cummings and Jesus Herrada on the other hand, frankly, they should go home, they are drunk.

Re: Re:

Now, Trek. I'm counting on you. Don't mess up!

Trek won a national? I don't remember that, who was it?

Ruben Guerreiro at least. The portuguese federation is very strict with the jersey, so they will not mess it up.

No, not Guerreiro. Well, he won too, but that's not what I'm talking about.
Look at my username, and it might give you a clue.

Albania, there's a lot of red in that flag.

Mads P is riding for Trek, not Astana. :razz:

 

[RedheadDane]

I guess it's the third part if you separate my username into three parts.

But yeah, Mads P's jersey is the one I'm the most "concerned" about.
Møllebro is gonna be great, coz she's on a Danish team, and is probably gonna get a design similar to the one Kamp had.
Toft Madsen is gonna be great, coz he's on a Danish team, and is probably gonna keep a design similar to his previous one.
Ludwig, well... is she even gonna wear it? She's got the Best Young Rider (year-long competition) jersey, and by quite a margin if I'm not mistaken. Though not sure what the rules are for those year-long competition jerseys...

*Update* I was right with Møllebro. Classical Scandinavian cross, as it should be.
Penton too.

Hense why I told Trek not to mess up. :razz:



I... might secretly have been a little bit pleased that Valgren (and Breschel) missed out in the finale, so Astana wouldn't get a chance to mess up.

I personally like the National Champs jerseys that are clearly visible from overhead/helicopter shots.

I thought the Luxembourg jersey Bob Jungels wore at the Giro looked great.

Re:

I don't think anyone can complain about minor details with shorts when you have Sunweb to compare with.

I don't know why I'm sharing my thoughts about a rider's kit with a bunch of strangers (I must be lonely), but Aru is sporting one hell of a jersey.
Top notch, 10 out of 10.
Best ever.

 

[Kafviar]

The black shorts looks somewhat strange with the Italian colours. Will probably look superb on the bine though.

 

[bob.a.feet]

Aru's jersey is a thing of beauty, especially when it's for an actual contender.

 

[MartinGT]

OMG The Italian Nationals is Bellissima!

 

[mikii4567]

Aru has just shown the world what an Italian champion's jersey should look like

This. I thought that was the purpose of National Champ Jersey; to allow viewers to see that a person is national champion.
And of course to give the rider the bragging rights of having a special jersey.

Sinkeldam is about to sign with FDJ for next year. Dutch jersey is saved.

reported in the media as well.

Should be good to have the French and Dutch national champs jerseys in the same team.

So, my speculation a few pages ago is actually happening?

That stance isn't nearly wide enough

 

[TMP402]

I got a question. Does Louis Meintjes wear the bands of a former South African national champ? I've Google imaged and found nothing to suggest he does, which is curious.

 

[Strawberry_Jams]

A few teams for some reason can't be bothered with former champ bands on sleeves. Orica are one, Movistar obvs. I'm guessing UAE are another.
