New Jerseys - 2011 Season - TeamKits-Maillots-Tricots-Tenues-and-Exotics

my veredict is that Sky style is being imitated now by Garmin-Cervelo and Leopard.

Sky design is simply the best, they don't have to touch it. Just brilliant.

Then the other awesome kit is HTC High Road, they are awesome.

Omega is also nice.

SKY *****
Htc HIGH ROAD *****
OMEGA PHARMA LOTTO ****
GARMIN-CERVELO **** but imitating Sky
SAXO-Bank SUNGARD ***
LEOPARD ***
MOVISTAR **

I don't see much novelty in the rest

Nah, I think the Garmin kit is very well designed kit considering they had to compromise the design to satisfy Vaughters argyle fettish. The Cervelo Test Team kit was my all-time favorite kit design and this is an evolution of that kit. The only thing in common with SKY are the colors.

SKY, Leopard and Lotto are all modern variations on vintage/retro kit designs.
I wouldn't put Garmin-Cervelo in that category.

The Garmin kit is their best by far, but it leaves you thinking that Garmin was absorbed into Cervelo TT and not the other way around. It also makes me wonder what they will wear at the Tour since Cervelo swapped to white the last two years due to heat concerns.

It seems after seeing a lot of national champ jerseys that there is a theme afoot to make them stand out less. The message seems to be that a rider is part of a team first, champ second. I really liked champ jerseys like Saxo's Swiss and Lux jerseys from last year.

I think Radio shack actually comes out on top.

I'd have to disagree with virtually everything he says with the exception of the Garmin-Cervelo and Radioshack jersey/kits. Is he colorblind? The Saxobank kit is obviously light blue and not white.

Have Radioshack changed jerseys for this year?

BTW, Like I said earlier,that IS Jenson Button with LA. if you want to know a little more behind this photo check here: http://www.gpupdate.net/en/f1-news/250136/button-trains-with-lance-armstrong/
PS: the jersey Jenson is wearing is from his Triathlon Ichiban Tri Team

Hmm I really disliked the Lotto kit when I first saw it, but I'm starting to like it.

Allthough I fear that it won't be that good looking on the road.

 

[DAOTEC]

also some Nats. J

Bauer (Kiwi-country) still for one day !

Partrige (Welsh champ)

 

[VeloCity]

Not sure about the back, but the front of the RS jersey is a big improvement. Still not the best, but moving in the right direction.

A big improvement from the front over last year's design, but from the back it looks like the Austrian national champion's jersey.

Partrige (Welsh champ)

That'll come in handy if he suddenly discovers a that he has a granny from Budapest and wins the Hungarian championship as well.

After Gutierrez and F Schlek, this seems to confirm a narrow tri-colour rings as the nat champ style for this year, even if it isn't popular here.

Like I'd hoped earlier, They should have put a big R back there too. Then following them from the air would have been a breeze. But, Woulda, Shoulda, Coulda.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Good to see Euskaltel changed everything they needed to change about their jersey. The Radioshack jersey to me is not an Austrian but a Polish national jersey - but as in the national team, not the champions' jersey.

 

[nowhereman]

"Team Movistar will be riding its rookie season
in this kit. We are guessing that design on the left
makes reference to a movie reel."
WTF?

I think what they meant to say was, (movie) film strip up the side, sort of like this:

film strip, with frame lines, up the side, minus the sprocket holes.

 

[jens_attacks]

what a lovely photo.
haha i'm still remembering most of my friends used to make fun of button for driving like a pusssy,schumi scaring the shiit out of him every time.still he was my favourite and in 2009 he made it.great sportsman.

 

[Passista]

say what ?

No really, I like it. Not white/black/blue and not horizontal bands, but not random like Footon or something.

Not quite. That honor went to the more controversial Omega Pharma-Lotto kit!
Personally, I'm glad the htc-highroads kit got beaten up. The discontinued color strip to the bottom of the jersey, in front, looks as if they meant for the shirt to be tucked in! yuk

Watch your language.

my language is good enough and I repeat HTC-Highroad and Team Sky are the best kits in years (and professionaly I'm linked to desing area).
Another outstanding design was first High Road kit from 2008 season.

I make the claim, and will continue to make it, that get rid of the stupid white block on the back, and Sky's is quite a nice jersey.

However, the point is, it doesn't matter if you're linked to design or not, design is purely subjective. Sky's design is very clean and corporate. To many those adjectives can be attached to words like "Stylish" but to others they can be attached to words like "dull". Simple may be very nice to the designer's eyes, but cycling fans have long been trained on multiple sponsors, busy designs and recognisable colours so that these clean, simple designs seem very empty and even boring.

Design is about reconciling the practical aspects of what you're working with - in this case cyclign jerseys - with the stated aims of the client - in this case cycling teams and their sponsors - in order to best achieve the correct impression that they want to give off.

These designers may be doing a fantastic job of the design based on what they're being asked to do. Most of them undoubtedly are - but it's about finding answers to the questions. A lot of us simply think that the designers are being asked the wrong questions, which is resulting in a lot of kits which may be classy, stylish even in some cases, but are neither memorable nor instantly recognisable, which are things that WE think should be part of the questions.

No, look at the photo's carefully. You'll notice the heads are edited on the bodies (most clear example is Cazaux).

That said, I don't think they'll change that much, otherwise they wouldn't publish the photos. They didn't need to either, one of the, if not the best jersey of the peloton. Also good because I own one, saves a lot of money

Not much left to the imagination with this kit.
