Best and Worst National Champs jerseys

[RedheadDane]

“Under UCI rules we can only have team issue shorts or white shorts. We haven’t decided which Peter will wear yet but the rules mean he can’t use black shorts.”

That's a ridiculous rule.
Why not simply include the opportunity to wear black shorts? It's like the UCI wants a rather unfortunate "wet T-shirt" effect on the shorts.

They should allow black shorts and ban antything but white socks again.

I hope Oleg wants the black shorts combo so bad, he makes the whole team bibs black

This design was illegal but nobody raised a fuss. If Oleg wants to go for the stylish black shorts, then he should just do it and worry about the fine later. After all, it's a new kit next year so he can do as he pleases with that, this will barely be more than a one-off. I mean, Evans got a Lotto rainbow jersey (which was similarly illegal) and Rui Costa a Movistar one even though it was known he was leaving the team.

I can see Oleg's ego forcing Sagan to wear standard Tinkoff bibs. Raindow + Fluoro

I really like it, it looks quite classy (probably because the logo's are quite understated)

Re:

Of course. The only good bibs are black bibs.

Pretty Much. Reynolds in 1989 was the first team who started to mess with this.

The kits are way too tight nowadays as well.
Some wear TT kits, do not like either. Total disgrace.
National Champ jersey should be like the traditional ones, not the bull we see nowadays with Nibali or Valverde.

Completely agree. National jerseys should be as protected as the rainbow jersey is.

Kiry in the WC skinsuit:

Sky have black bibs but still use white...
Apparently bad fashion sense runs in the Sky team, with Cav the only exception.

Huh?

See what Froomey wore in a Gala with Aru, AC, Valv, NQ and Purito and then you'll see what I mean.

It's in the Bertie thread somewhere.

Well TT WC generally wears the bands on a skin suit. You know. For time trialing? So no,bibs.

And that skin suit is presumably what he is wearing under the jersey in the photo (note rainbow bands and sky branding showing through the jersey.

So they have produced a jersey for the sake of this photo (in what other circumstance will it be worn?) which merely obscures the relevant clothing that the PR pics should feature.

Forgot, but nothing is stopping them from changing the colour halfway down

I wear sneakers to weddings but Froome takes it too far.

Come on Катюша, the Austrian eagle even carries hammer and sickle, you could give him a little bit more space on Haller's jersey.

Re:

Make it white with the Austrian flag ffs... pathetic excuse for a champion's jersey

 

[lemon cheese cake]

Re:

Where is the Austrian flag? I cant see it very well.
It needs to have a white background.
