Best and Worst National Champs jerseys

[AupaPyama]

Last evening I was watching stage 2 Tour of Hongary. In the last 5 (!) kilometers the UAE national champ was on the front. Commentators thought at first it was Molano but it is: Mohammed Almutaiwei (UAE/UAE Next Gen) guest riding with UAE. After Mirza any possibility that he promotes to the first team next year?

The Belgian Cycling Committee always makes it mandatory to properly show the Belgian colors for whoever wins the NC. Since this is Tim Wellens from UAE, who are known to make the least effort, people thought there might be a clash. But UAE just obliged, and finally has a decent NC jersey.

When they're made to, they do. McNuggets had the full stars and stripes in the past aswell.

Intermarche: "hold my beer"

(though these probably should be in the best and worst national kit thread)

Intermache to Zimmermann: We told you not to participate in the NC....

Too little yellow, no?

UAE is scared of that color on regular jerseys

Can someone please write a 100-word essay explaining what the heck Movistar is doing with their championship jerseys?
In particular the fact that their championship jerseys are dark blue, rather than white.

Maybe this post could benefit from some visual aides?

And apparently, it's only for the Spanish jerseys, this being Aular's jersey:

You'd think a Spanish team would want to have their Spanish Championship jerseys be, you know, good...

There is no need for visuals. We know the design will be shite....

I'm a simple man and think those dark blue jerseys look pretty good. Easy to spot from a heli shot too.

But it doesn't highlight the fact that they're national champions.
Anyway; that's not a 100 words! You get an F!

The Spanish flag has red and yellow stripes as the main design and lets ignore the ensign as being too complex for inclusion in a jersey.
There's only so much you can do with those stripes. Should they go all-in and drop the big M and all we see is three this stripes?
It would look good, but maybe the sponsor not so happy.

I don't know much about Spain, other than I enjoy being a tourist there. Is there another national color associated with the country that isn't prominent on the flag? For example the Italian national teams seem to wear azure, the Dutch teams Orange.

Have the Spanish colours cover the entire jersey, and still include the 'M'.

Blue has certainly been used as the third colour on Spanish national football kit for decades. I'm not sure whether there is any particular heraldic/historic relevance. Reference to maritime history perhaps? @Cordi333 ?
