Best and Worst National Champs jerseys

[RedheadDane]

I like it!
Bodes well for Chris' jersey.

Or else I'm gonna be really disappointed!

Re: Re:

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

That's all that they need to change and BOOM! Awesome kit praised by all

Re: Re:

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

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

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

If you've ever seen black bibs spliced to a white WC skinflint, you'll realise why all teams usually go for all white when it comes to skinsuits.

The worst I have ever seen...

The Astana-one is still 10 times better than the one Nibali has been riding around with.

And I'd say Movistar takes the price for worst, with the travesty they've given Valverde for next year...

Why is it confusing? Even if we ignore that "white with the Austrian flag" is the traditional design, the important bit here is that a red jersey betrays Катюша's intention of having as indistinguishable a jersey as possible. It's designed to look just like the standard team jersey unless you're actively looking for it.

Re:

But I don't believe they ever have been, or will be, seen, other than in mock-up form, so the point is somewhat moot.

As UCI regulates the WC jerseys they should regulates the national ones too

He's right to look unhappy.

 

[classicomano]

Goddamn how hard is it to just make it like this. Are you not a proud Russian Oleg.

 

[LaFlorecita]

That's horrible

 

[May0maniac]

Shame on you Oleg, Wowa should judo throw you a few times for creating such a bad Russian NC jersey!

 

[Zinoviev Letter]

Managing the double disgrace of being terrible as a champions jersey and also being one of the ugliest objects of any kind any human being has ever been paid money to design.

 

[Alexandre B.]

Classy, as always

That Netherlands/Luxembourg back-to-back thing is cause for a double take!

I guess they lucked out - they can just give Jungels Terpstra's old faded kit...?

And throw a couple of Lidl badges on, get rid of the Renson badges on the backside and there yiu have it! Bob Jungels new jersey.

Given every team is seemingly going for an Estonian Champions' look, Cofidis show how it's meant to be done.

Imagine if Sky got an Estonian this year. Their national champions' jersey would actually be the Sky jersey.

It's also nice to see a couple of teams actually still doing national champions' jerseys rather than trying as desperately as possible to hide that achievement within their own (generally awful) jersey designs.

Good thing they don't have the French champion as well.

In fact I think I remember a year when Quick Step had both the French and the Dutch champion... rather confusing.

 

[hrotha]

It could be worse.

Re:

That's probably one of the best national champ jerseys I've seen nowadays. Proper flag design, while the sponsor is still pretty visible. Good job.

Yes, Rein had almost the same NC jersey at Cofidis.
