Considering some of the designs so far,its not too bad. At least theyve pretty much gone full cross flag unlike some Eddy Boss ones I remember.

Yes, it's a nice jersey, not baad at all.JoeD1997 said:On stage one of the U23 race Toscanna Terra di Ciclismo Eroica, U23 Moroccan RR champ Abderrahim Zahiri took the win, his first in Europe. Not sure how to post an image on the forum, but the link on his team's website shows his national champ kit off, which I think is a nice jersey: http://www.uctrevigiani.com/en/first-win-in-italy-for-zahiri/

Not true.RedheadDane said:Well, making a vertically striped flag the "right way" round just wouldn't work; the proportions of the human torso doesn't fit.

I don't mind the sideways flag too much if the team incorporates the national colors in the bibs as well but otherwise I'm not a fan.

Really? It's the classic way to design a national kit for countries with tricolor flags. It's always been that way.jaylew said:Not true.RedheadDane said:Well, making a vertically striped flag the "right way" round just wouldn't work; the proportions of the human torso doesn't fit.

I think they both look great. Anyway, at this point I don't really know how or if we're even disagreeingRedheadDane said:jaylew said:
Eh... that's sideways. And Hagen's have the wrong shape for the cross.

Certainly not wrong. It's all subjective. I've just never been one to stand by tradition for tradition's sake. I embrace change, particularly when there is likely no meaningful reason for a tradition's origin or why it should continue that way, especially when we're talking about something relatively insignificant in the grand scheme of things.LaFlorecita said:Really?

I mean obviously I'm not going to tell you what you should and shouldn't like but you almost make it sound like it's wrong
