Clean, classy, and tbh they don't really have to remove the sponsor name/logo, they just do. (Of course with the French champion I guess it sorta helps that the flag is already in team colours.)
Random thought; what would happen if FDJ ever got a Dutch Champion? Both the Dutch and the French national champs jersey have traditionally been with horisontal stripes - perhaps because three vertical stripes on a cycling kit would look somewhat silly - so that could case some issue when it comes to telling them apart...
Of course I recall a time when Quickstep had both a Dutch and a French champion, and last year people got confused between Terpstra and Jungels, due to not noticing the slight difference in the blue.

Imagine them trying to elaborate their very own maillot jaune or maglia rosa with a rectangle in the middle of the regular jersey."Cycling is a team sport and we want to convey that," a spokesman for Sunweb told NUsport, justifying the more corporate design.

Apparently Aru is a true Sardinia. He told Astana he ain't gonna accept anything else but a tricolore champ jersey!Strawberry_Jams said:Aru gone full tricolor! Beautiful. Nibali must be pissed he didn't get what he deserved

If I'm correct, his shorts are not even brown.Laplaz said:Oliver Naesen's one definetly the best one.

I don't think anyone can complain about minor details with shorts when you have Sunweb to compare with.

RedheadDane said:Err... Konovalovas' is simply a matter of it being the traditional Lithuanian way of doing it, right? Otherwise FDJ has taken a giant step backwards. But of course, with the standards they're setting they could really only make it worse.
