Most Hideous Team Kit

[Sheltowee]

Most of the current Pro Tour team clobber is just plain ****e.

Garmin's Argyle and flacid colour scheme is terrible.....Agritubel is incredibly MEH and the rest are just dead ordinary, with the exception of Cervelo which is think is ok, and Quickstep.

Slide a schooner down this way, partner. I feel like Eros Poli today LOL

Special Mention: for the Carrefour KOM Podium girls. All I can say is "Ouch".

It looks like some Disney-designed outfit for Minnie Mouse!!

Kinda like AG2R's brown bibs - they're different.

Garmin's Argyle and flacid colour scheme is terrible......

I wish someone would tell J. Vaughters that argyle and spandex just do not mix..

 

[lean mean &green]

My first conspiracy theory on this forum:

AG2R created a polarizing team kit to generate conversation because they don't seem to be able to accomplish that from racing.

Starting to get a mix here. I really like AG2R/La Mondiale's new kit, for some reason it reminds me of La Vie Claire (most likely due to the simplicity). Probably one of the few I would wear if I ever wore pro kit.

My vote for one of the worst kits goes to Cofidis. Looks like they raided the Ponderosa for the Cartwright's long underwear. I prefer their previous red/white/blue combo.

Special mention for Columbia (and FDJ and Cervelo bibs) too, never wear white bibs. Wouldn't want to have to ride half of the wheels today with those guys in the group...

I am not fond of the Blue milk cows of Milram either...although it does represent their sponsor pretty well.

 

[lostintime]

Columbia gets my vote. It's the "Aliens" rib-cage thing that makes them so appalling for me.

One of my favorite kits to laugh at in the past was a LA l'Alpe d'Huez special kit..... didn't anyone say you like like a dumb***? http://autobus.cyclingnews.com/tour04.php?id=photos/2004/tour04/stage16/S-ARMSTRONGCRONO-4235

Cycling is well known for being fashion un-conscious.

I liked Milram's old kit.

I like Rock's kit. There I said it. I'll be available in the courtyard for my stoning.

OK, I like it too...shit that was humiliating to say. Well, at least I was only a poser in doing so and not the instigator of the trend....

My side gig is designing kits for teams and clubs which I have produced by a small fabrique in Italy. Unfortunately this season almost every team has wanted a Rock Racing derived design.

Luckily most have allowed me to tone it down, but a few have even combined Rock and Liquigas kits to make theirs.

Crazy...right? Well the LG colors work well and are distinctive. Rock gives it a little style and the two work well together.

Now back to the main topic...

AG2R...ugh
Columbia...needs more color.
LG...perfect, cant miss them and design is classic
Astana...it has grown on me. Kind of like mold...
Garmin... I actually like it, but not when it is wet.
Cervelo... just blah
QuickStep... loved the kits they were not allowed to wear at Paris Roubaix
Katusha... well it is Russian?
Skil... wow love these! So old school, timeless!
BBox... not crazy about that crap blue, but a great design

All that really strike me.

Sounds like it might just work, got any pictures?

Yea, that Katusha kit is both boring and hideous at the same time. And CONI is right, the Pozzato jersey is beyond horrible.

I daresay they have bigger fish to fry then worrying about somebodies kit

 

[Laurent]

it might have been siad but doesn't the columbia kit look like phonak...

 

[Irish2009]

I have to say I like the Rock Racing gear ......the only thing I like about the team.

 

[craig1985]

I wouldn't mind buying a Rock Racing team kit, too bad about the price

At the risk of incurring the wrath of the Dutch/Rabobank fans, I have never been a fan of their kit.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Most non-Dutch people think orange is hideous, not euskaltel orange, but Rabo-orange / Dutch orange.

But when you say that, you tend to offend the entire nation

 

[sherer]

as i stated in another thread, the new shade of the points jersey is the worst kit at the moment. Almost makes you not want to win it

 

[craig1985]

It's all a bit of light hearted banter.

When I see the Rock Racing kit I think one thing ... try hards!

I think the Astana kit is a shocker, can't wait till Contador changes teams :lol:

got a copy of the Astana one and I quote like it. No missing you when you wear that one

 

[Irish2009]

Astana kit...designed by Borat

 

[afpm90]

Without a doubt: AG2R's kit. It's so hedious that my eyes burn

 

[Irish2009]

I was hoping Nicholas Roche would get some green shorts to match his national champs jersey. Those shorts look S%^"e.

I have to agree. I have never liked Rabo's orange. It is an ugly color.
