Best and Worst National Champs jerseys

Swiss national champ from behind

Oh well...

This cannot be. It is just despicable, a mockery of what a national tricot should be... Beuark.

Langeveld and his management didn't agree with the design and now they changed it to this. Way better.

Yeah saw during the Tour presentation it could not be the jersey posted before here.

 

[Afrank]

Dutch jersey much better now, a proper jersey.

I'm really liking the Suisse jersey. Distinctive but holds the same Suisse symbol pattern of the normal jersey's on the front. And large symbol on back will make it easy to spot from overhead shots.

You could also say the Italian flag is like a Hungarian flag turned sideways. Maybe they could have done a normal tricolore jersey with Astana green. I know cyclists don't have influence either way, but it could be that some people don't like to wear huge national symbols. Ion Izagirre from Movistar for instance.

Astana green....?

 

[Dazed and Confused]

IAM and FDJ got it right.
Looks great.

Indeed much better.

Good from Langeveld that he didn't accept it and got a better one. There are some more riders who shouldn't accept their national jersey.

Astana green....?

Cyan, whatever, it's a variant of the colour green. A jersey with Astana green/white/red tricolore would make everyone even more mad of course.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

That's better !

Indeed, WAY better

Nelson Oliveira, Portuguese National Champion.

He is starting the Tour tomorrow

 

[Parrulo]

Awesome, great job by Lampre.

Maybe it's just me, but the color of the Astana jersey looks very blue to me

All I would change is that the flag bands should be slightly higher so they're closer to the sponsor name, otherwise that's absolutely how to do a champions' kit right.

My favourite Portuguese kit of recent years has actually belonged to one of my least favourite Portuguese cyclists.

Perhaps it would make the Luxembourg champion mad. Green, really?

If i could, i would also have the bad a bit bigger and higher. But compared to the absolute crap most teams are putting out there, it's a very good classical jersey.

Four years of practice and they still can't do any better than this. I kind of wondered if Izagirre would want something even less obvious than this, though - though I guess if Rojas can't have the big flag for his nationalism, Izagirre can't have an ikurrina either. That said, women's RR champion Anna Ramírez Bauxell has announced she wishes to renounce the Spanish champions' jersey in favour of a Catalan one...

 

[LaFlorecita]

Dark blue! Nice

Said Katusha jersey was showing the outline of the Kremlin, a Russian nationl symbol. I think that was mainly what upset the Italians.

True. It had also showed that they had some standards in terms of the champions jersey.

 

[manafana]

trek are becoming really good at national jerseys, liked zoidl and kiser during giro and really like franks for the tour. Suppose there kit suits it as all black easily change and trek know its about there bike and a stand out kit is good.

Lampre also very good at it, FDJ a joy too.

 

[Hakkapelit]

Any pics of the Canadian jersey=?

 

[l.Harm]

I saw it during the stage yesterday. White IIRC.


- edit:

 

[42x16ss]

Pretty decent. Orica haven't done a bad one yet.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Nibali's national jersey.. I have no words.. It's probably the ugliest jersey I've ever seen! And they even got the Italian flag messed up.. Disgrace.

 

[Geraint Too Fast]

Cue the annual Dutch champion jokes...
