Best and Worst National Champs jerseys

[will10]

Hagen's jersey is way better than the previous abomination.

Stannard's jersey should be easy to pick out on the Oude Kwaremont

Agree 100%.
Grown men will cry this coming Spring.

EBH's jersey is a bit meh.
The vertical line of the cross should be centered and the horizontal part should be around the chest.

Why should it be centered? It's not centered on the flag

I think it looks great. Huge improvement from the last one. Kudos to Rapha.

The traditional champion's jersey has been the Nordic cross top to bottom rather than left to right, though.

However, after Kristoff's and EBH's monstrosities this season, it's a veritable beauty.

not like this:

Sky want their logo centered, which is why they did it like this. With Arvesen they had the Sky logo inside the blue part of the flag, but that resulted in the blue part of the flag having to be waaaay too large.

Lars Boom (who broke his chain on the first pedal stroke in a cross race today)

comes cross pretty good in "action".

Wooow! Quickstep is loading up on the champs!
Who's the second guy in the Belgian/German colours?

As for the Norwegian champion-kit; I agree that it looks slightly odd that it's to the side (remind me of when Asle Arvesen spend a good part of the TdF with a uneven kit) but hey! At least it's the entire kit and not just some random band around the chest...

Kristof Vandewalle, Belgian ITT champ. Same as how Chavanel is in his TT kit, cos Nacer Bouhanni is the French national champ on the road.

Arvesens National Champion kit at Sky would have been brilliant, if it had had red sleeves and neck collar.

It would be worse if it was brighter orange though. I like the more prominent black as well.

Be nice, not sure EE have ever had to do a national champ's jersey before.

 

[Fenceline]

No it doesnt.
It looks like the british national champions jersey with a few added stars

First one apparently. To be fair Euskaltel orange was never going to go well with Morrocan red, but a fully red jersey + shorts would've been a better comprimise than this Radioshack-esque abomination.

The competition is over. Radioshack as always produces stunning quality winners in worst Nats category. They took it to other level this year

I coudln't even spot it when the image was small...
