I liked this one:

Not sure what's worn when. She rides very simple "stars and stripes" kit on the mountain bike during the summer that's okay too.

I still don't understand the constant redesign of the championships jerseys. I understand that sponsor graphics/themes change, but it's like changing the Stanley Cup every year.

The first pic is her Trade Team's take on the national Champ's jersey... the second pic is the US National Team Jersey... the two represent totally different things and technically she's representing/riding for different teams when she changes between the two.

New Zealand Champion Hayden Roulston. His jersey is the same as the rest of the team, but if you look closely, you can see that his helmet is "all black" while the other riders have a white stripe through the middle (except for Devolder). There might also be a fern on his right sleeve, but unfortunately it is hidden in this picture. The best things are left up to imagination!

I wonder what would happen if someone wins a champs jersey, switches nationalities and wins another one?
Champs jersey with former champs bands? Double bands for future?

If that happens, what combinations could be awesome/horrendous?

I doubt, that it's the same.
I guess he got some very big tribute on the left leg gripper (looks so) and the right sleeve (covered by Popo) like Zoidl because he also has the name on the side panels like all the other champs.

We will see what happens if Lagutin wins the Russian champ this year ;)

Left leg looks the same to me as all the others? But yes the sleeve is covered by Popovych and that is probably where the difference lies to the other jerseys (besides the name, as you pointed out)

Which is really too bad, because the Trek kit is tailor made for a giant silver tree fern across the front.

Kiserlovski has a new jersey:

As does Roulston, which could be seen at Flanders, but I couldn't find a picture. It as a reasonably sized white fern across the back
 
An improvement, but that's not saying much. The NZ kits by HTC, Garmin and Credit Agricole were still 100x better.

Even Devolder's kit is a bit meh and he's the Belgian champ. Surely they can get one right eventually. Jungel's new kit is probably the best from them so far, ditch the black sleeve and it's great.
 
I quite like the black sleeve/side panel: incorporating national colours into team identity.

Are we to assume that something similar has also been done for Zoidl? He hasn't been on the road since a broken collar bone at Strade Bianchi.

Much better. Now that, is a proper national champion jersey.

No idea what they were thinking with that first one. At least they didn't get away with it for long. :D
