Healy‘s jersey also looks really weird. What is it supposed to be?

We went from this:

To that...

At least it seems like Hirschi is not a great TTer...

It appears the pictures haven't been posted. Just to cheer everyone up:

That what all Irish champions kits look like. We don't use the traditional flag design because it represents both Irelands.

There was a much better one from Champion System!

The Ben Healy version is essentially the version given to the winner on the day. Ireland got strict on the guidelines a few years back (although Healy's skinsuit is a bit of a departure)
They really shouldn't use the green/white/orange armbands either but they all do.

The version given to the winner on the day is just green and white. Using the green/white/orange bands is probably just a personal choice for each athlete.

Yeah, Vaugters was tweeting about what a marvelous creation Healy's jersey was going to be (while obviously forgetting the hames thay made of his TT jersey), and then they came up with this inane effort with a cliche thrown in.

Vaughters talks big, delivers damp squib shocker.

Still waiting for the results of Pierre Rolland not training like 1975 anymore!

Maybe they're hoping it will only ever be shown next to a "nat champ jersey" from UAE...

Or Lidl-Trek

Or Lidl-Trek

Those are great.
Not FDJ-level amazing - that would be hard to achieve - but quite great.
Sure, the Lidl logo is a little... distracting, but other than that, they look like national champion jerseys.

That's what I find distracting... although it might look good with a Colombian or Ecuadorean jersey

Joao is wondering why Brandon got a decent Nat Champion jersey and he didn't.

Unfortunately, the answer is probably "money".
I'm pretty sure Portugal previously used to be rather strict about their nat champ jerseys - demanding proper jerseys from Movistar, back when it was Movistar who made horrible nat champ jerseys - but if the Portuguese federation has financical troubles, they might not be able to afford taking up the fight.
While the US federation can afford it.

I'm going to say that I think this is one of the best national champs jerseys I've seen, at least of those that don't ignore the sponsor.

Romanian jersey for Tvetkov by Denver Disruptors (does that US series count as road races or Criteriums? Is the jersey eligible for those?)

Your posts are really living up to the thread name. From one of the best to possibly the worst.

Meh!

I thought Skjelmose was the Danish national champion.

I thought Skjelmose was the Danish national champion.

He is U23 champion and will ride for the devo team in the U23 ranks, so I guess thats why.

He can have it for those races, but if he does some pro races I think he will have to wear the normal jersey.

Well he certainly looks estatic.

Does everyone else get these as a big white box with "View this content on Instagram", or is it an issue with my settings?
