They seem to have redesigned Healy’s Irish jersey, much for the better. That Colombian one is fantastic.

Ecuadorian, but yes. Great jerseys.

 

[Sciatic]

Yes, Carapaz’s jersey is wonderful.

Alison Jackson's Canadian jersey is nothing special, but miles better than the Lidl-Trek Ava Holmgren CX national champs jersey.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

 

[RedheadDane]

Where's Chaves?

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

Not really a national champ's jersey...

But definitely a former world champion's jersey

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

I suppose if he can mistake a shoe for a phone, mistaking a national champs jersey thread for a place for world champion collars isn't as bad.

Yes, much improved for Healy and Ireland

Canada doesn't really have much wiggle room, there's only so much you can do with a maple leaf. It would be hard to make a bad design with it, and hard to improve.

I can't really think of any other iconic design for Canada.

And yet:

 

[Potomac]

I guess they could make the maple leaf even smaller.
But the back of the jersey it what really counts, so we can pick them out on TV.

Team DSMs new entries for worst attempts at national kits, which is infuriating as they had a really clean design last season for it.

albeit oddly in CX its not, its the front, that counts road race absolutely its the helicopter shot that counts.

Id be prepared to put it down to them just chucking something together at the last minute given you can imagine it all coming together with the TrekLidl deal and then the chance to do the CX and then someone realising wait youre the Canadian champ, we need a Canadian champ jersey, oh just do the thing we did with the road team thats the whole flag on the whole jersey right, nah just stick a small maple leaf on it that will do.

NC kits should never simply be a flag in the middle of a white background.
Liepiņš' jersey is at least still better than Anastasia Carbonari's UAE version, which hasn't been improved by her getting promoted to the WWT squad.

There is always the thing that the british champs jersey looks like the dutch flag because of it's roots in the olympic national team's kit or whatever, however that is by far the most dutch looking british champs jersey i've seen so far.

I think there are exceptions to your “never”. Cancellara’s nat jerseys with the Swiss cross on the back, white on red field,were magnificent.

The Swiss jersey is obviously different because of what the Swiss flag looks like. Cancellara's Saxo Bank jersey looked great from the back, but the cross on the front should have been higher up on the jersey.

Agreed.

 

[RedheadDane]

Four National Champion Jerseys - + some extras - for the price of one!

 

[Netserk]

But five national champions!

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

Do you think they gave Marie Schreiber a jersey of her own, or one of Demi Vollering's that has faded in the wash?
