LEOPARD TREK jerseys BLOW!!

[McClimber]

Now that LEOPARD TREK has a very wins, it is very apparent that there jerseys suck.

What winning rider doesn't want to show off their sponsers on a cool jersey?

Well, I guess LEOPARD TREK doesn't want their names out there.

FC and FS look like they have a blank piece of paper on their chests.

Don't worry, they'll get a new sponsor in June and redesign the whole thing.

I really wish their bikes and their team kits were FULL LEOPARD PRINT. Oh yah, I said it. Get Cippolini in on the design process.

There was this funny moment at the finish where Cancellara wanted to point at the sponsor name, and then thought: wait, there isn't one. So he just straightened his jersey a little.

Although I have to say, the jersey sort of looks okay. I like it better than the other black jerseys in the peloton right now.

The jersey is nice but it is a little odd that there is nothing in the middle. High Road and Katusha just put something random there and it works

Come on Christian, even you can admit that the jersey is awful and an eyesore!

 

[usedtobefast]

i think it looks ok, although the print is small.Leopard print would be very Cippo. i'm not sure Stuey would go for it.

No honestly I like it and I have read quite a few positive responses even on this forum. I guess it all depends on the different cultures and such: the readers of cyclismactu.net voted it best jersey in the 2011 peloton.

The worst is Geox IMO

I don't mind the jersey itself, because it blends into the peloton, like Andy

But now that the lack of logo was brought to my attention (the jersey fronts were always blocked by the riders in front before), it does beg the question, if one of them ever wears a leader's jersey in a stage race, what will go in the blank spot left for a logo?

I'm with ACF on this one. The whole time I was watching those two wins today, all I could think was how awful the jerseys were. They look like cheap cookie cutter club kits.

Came back to correct myself, as I realized Criterium International IS a stage race. What did they put in the logo area on the leader's jersey?

They actually look a lot like the very expensive Babici jerseys:

Found my answer. That sure uglies it up. Who would want to see THAT at the Tour de France

Does anyone over 14 years old really care about pro kit design?

God, I hope not for the sake of humanity.

Do people not realize that the reason for the blank space is that THEY ARE LOOKING FOR A SPONSOR?

Is that a website for the blind?

Just sayin' - chacun à son goût.

edit: I also seem to remember the speakers from British Eurosport saying it was stylish during Tirreno-Adriatico. I think the guy's name is Paul or something

No, sometimes people are just wrong.

Yea, and that Paul guy is a real judge of things like character and style...

I would love to see their jerseys with a big box in the middle that says 'YOUR NAME HERE' like those cheesy magazine adds that are looking for companies to buy add space. Or 'SPACE AVAILABLE' like a vacant billboard. That would get the point across.

The fact that AG2R's jersey came second in that poll kind of puts things into perspective.

AG2R is my favourite, I'd love to buy it but it's quite expensive

Seems the Leopard-Trekkies came out in droves for that one. And I think you've posted it here more than once already
