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

[Aguirre]

Team Sky is far the best kit is pro-cycling, it's just classy and gorgeous. It's conceptual.

Let's see the whole Cervelo-slipstream it seems the cervelo black won againts the argyle.

Not sure about the black

 

[Finbouy]

That Garmin-Cervelo kit looks wey cool.. Glad they've kept some semblance of style over substance and kept it muted black, with hints of Argyle, just enough to keep the provenance.
I thought the last couple of seasons Cervelo kit was the coolest in the big P, even the white one..

I'm disappointed with the Garmin kit. Say what you will about blue & orange argyle, it was distinctive, and it was also a formal element of JV's goal of appearing separate from (ie cleaner than) or stand out from the rest of the peloton. A visual reminder of the change in philosophy w/r/t the D word that JV was advocating at Garmin's birth.

Now, they're just another black and blue team.

@Tugboat: Who is Avanti's bike manufacturer?

Perhaps not an individual style but that classic look is still stylish.

I'm usually a "Less is more" type, but in my opinion, they're boring. This kit seems to be a compromise for Cervelo and their previous unis. I'm not saying I was hoping for more argyle or anything, but I was hoping for something a little more distinctive.

Black jerseys have never been my thing. It might be because I'm a child of the '80s, and back then black was mainly for shorts.

All that being said, if Thor decides to wear the team shorts with his World Champ's jersey, it's going to look kick ***. There, I'm not all negative.

I probably need glasses: I thought for a long moment that this was a single image!

Bit disappointed, as many others are here. They took the 2010 jerseys, then they applied the absolute literal of "Garmin-Cervélo" in a sort of 70/30 split.

If it were a true Florida jersey, the bottoms would look like jean shorts.

Ha, very nice! As a Florida Alum...I need to get that kit (but I think that is last years)

Looks awful It's like a hybrid between Sky & the old Cevelo shirt with the Garmin logo on front.....JV needs to refine his eye & taste a bit more

Avanti is the bike supplier to Pure Black... http://www.pureblackracing.com http://www.avantibikes.com

The main driver for supporting the team, from what I understand, is to launch Avanti bikes in the US next year. They've been big in NZ and Australia for the last 20 years or so.

The Garmin-Cervelo kits are only following Garmin's main colors of black/blue/white. So it was to be expected and I'm glad the orange is gone. If from a distance you can see the kit then it does it's job as a rolling advertisement. The only problem I see is people getting them confused with Sky from a distance.

I wonder if there will be a big é on the back that way the kits would be a little more balanced. I also wonder if they will have seperate dark and light kits as Cervelo did.

 

[Kwibus]

Thank god that new Garmin jersey looks pretty good so far. Unless the bottom half will be argyle

Maybe it won't be very distinctive though, but keep in mind that that Cervelo jersey will dissapear from the bunch so there is still room for a black jersey. They just need to be sure it's different compared to the Sky jersey.

I like what I see in the sneak peak but think it would look better, and more unique, if they reversed the black and white. Beats the hell out of last year's scheme though.

I find black jerseys a bit dull ... nothing against Sky or Garmin, I just think colourful is better

True, really didn't like last years jerseys. The new jersey reminds me more of the Garmin-Chipotle one. Which IMO was their best jersey.

 

[deValtos]

I like it since they incorporated a lot of the cervelo design and that jersey was quite classy (especailly when worn by Sastre in the moutains!)

 

[Njbb1995]

I really like the Pure Black Racing kit

 

[luckyboy]

It looks nice but it's very boring.

 

[Archibald]

looks a little like Sky - from the two pics on cycling news earlier...

 

[Rocksteady]

I really hope there is more Argyle on the bottom of the jersey and bibs (and I think there will be). I'm Ok with the all blue Argyle, as long as there is more of it.

Is it Garmin-Cervelo or Cervelo-Garmin??

 

[Beech Mtn]

I really like the new Garmin/Cervelo kit, at least the parts we've been able to see of it. I think I'll like it better than the Sky kit, which is ruined by that white panel on the back. While the white seems practical, it ruins the look of the Sky kit.

The blue argyle sleeve bands on the GC kit are much nicer than the old orange/blue. Much improved.

Now if we could just get all teams to ban white shorts outright. . . .

I don't often laugh out loud at the computer, but you got me that time.

I prefer the older one, but I think the best looking one is what the CX guys are wearing this year.

 

[luckyboy]

That Rabobank retro-attempt is pretty nice. Looks a bit weird seeing 'Rabobank' in white instead of blue though.
