Did anyone post this? Looks like the final one from the 4 Farnese Vini kits we saw. I like it, well I don't like all the sponsors.

I hadn't seen the back of the new Garmin kit. HMMMM. That does alter my opinion. I was giving Garmin the benefit of the doubt but now it does seem questionable. At the same time they were probably offered several designs options, felt that this particular one was the best one regardless of the obvious similarities to SKY. Also if you go to garmin.com, you would see that the colors chosen are an accurate reflection of the company's colors. Can they be helped that their primary sponsor has similar colors to SKY?

Using more red in the design wouldn't be an accurate reflection of the hierarchy of the team's sponsors. Last year with Cervelo the primary and Castelli and Rotor Rings below them, red was acceptable. The inclusion of the white back panel has to be the primary arguing point but in deciding between perceived rider comfort and offending one of your opponents I'm not surprised which route they chose.

And yes, the designer couldn't help to have known that the design was similar to SKY but since SKY's is a retro design it's not like they were breaking any new ground like the CTT kit which was in my opinion one of the more original kit designs that I've seen.

I give you that the horizontal band has been used for decades, and the white back may improve rider comfort, but it's just the overall similarity which must have been totally clear when they combined the elements. It doesn't really matter, but a bit more concern for individuality would have been nice.

How about this ('scuse the quality, I'm obv. not a pro)?

I'm not sure Kaale Kriit (sp.) would like that much though.

Just overall a bit too close IMO. They weren't obliged to use the retro band or the white back (are it's benefits proven?).

[edit] Oops, ****ed that up. Ah well.

 

[taiwan]

They do like their curvy carbon in Italy, don't they?

telling them apart in the tdu wasnt the easiest from the front, and from above combined with the fact the columbia kit is predominantly white telling them apart was a complete headache. Throw in Lay-o-pard with their white back invisible blue stripe and black shoulders and this year is going to be a headache for fans.

DB hit it right on the head. He was actually very forthright in both webchats.

I found Roulston's All Black kit the most deceiving. Should be ok once I get used to seeing him in it.

I couldn't view it. What was it?

 

[taiwan]

I made a sketch of the existing jersey replacing all the black above the central white band and on the sleeves with more white (solid white), and removing the blue bands from the sleeves (keeping the blue collar).

 

[Buffalo Soldier]

looks much better!

It just took Trek 4 years to copy it.

I don't get why that should be uci legal. Shouldn't the seattube allow a straight line to be drawn through it?

I know Kestrel had to ad that seat tube to their TT bike t make it legal, I think the only rule otherwise is 3:1.

Why are they using Kestrel TT bikes if Fuji is a co sponsor?

Because Advanced Sports ( the huge conglomerate that owns both Fuji and Kestrel ) wants to make things as confusing as possible.....
As if those paint jobs weren't enough....

Oh and they also own Oval Concepts ( wheels ).

If i was a rider on that team i would feel like i've been sold out.

The Kestrel is obviously for Triathlons, and they are ugly. I was happy Rock folded simply for that reason.

The marketeers who came up with the suggestion of Oval Wheels are equalled for incompetence only by those who decided to name a fizzy drink "Vimto" without realising that it was an anagram of Vomit.

Supremely hideous! Who do they employ to do this stuff? Xzibit?

Interestingly, I found it MUCH easier to tell them apart when I was roadside watching a Jayco Bay Crit than when I watched the TDU on TV.

In person the differences seemed pretty clear (the Adidas stripes on Sky, the "é" symbol for Garmin-Cérvelo) and there was NO confusing the two.

I think as the season progresses we'll find it a lot easier to differentiate.

I found Hayden Roulston's kit confusing too, although I really like it.
