Hmm... I know I've been pretty outspoken about my opinion that full-flag jersey is always best. I guess I can make one exception; Kazakhstan! When was the last time the national champion(s) of Kazakhstan did not ride for Astana? Thing is, a full-flag Kazakh jersey is just the regular Astana jersey...

Davidenok won it for Astana Continental in 2014 but spent most of Qinghai Lake, his only race between winning it and joining the WT team as a stagiaire, in the leader's jersey, and of course Astana Continental's jerseys were more or less the same as the main team's anyway.

See, that's exactly what I'm talking about. Something fresh that tries to use some of the team kit's design without completely disrespecting or dismissing tradition. So, they didn't stick with that?

Yes, team design, not team colours. Can you imagine if they'd insisted on keeping the pink shoulders? :eek:

Aquablue have released photos of Conor Dunne's new irish champions jersey.

Pretty underwhelming as Vermarc have done great things with the QS national champions jerseys. I thought the chevron/arrowhead/ logo could have been better integrated into the design

Yeah, doesn’t scream “Irish Champion” really.

Unrelated note, but I like the trick of the camera that makes it look like those mountains in the background are almost as tall as Conor.

The Irish champion jersey has been following a typical style recently with a general common appearance indicating possible influence from Cycling Ireland on the design. One guy has collected most of the recent jerseys including some amateur and age group champion jerseys

Sadly wasn't shown even once today. Not even when he started.
