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

Good things come to those who wait!

That seems to be the Luxembourg team philosophy Also: good things come slowly and in small quantities.

Looks ok to me. It's familiar, orange.

It's okay, but it seems like everyone is faking T-mobile with the classic design QST, SKY, Garmin and now Rabobank

 

[auscyclefan94]

looks like a lot like past national jersey's I quite like it!

 

[mr. tibbs]

The rabo kit is sharp. I appreciate how they were able to keep the signature curvature in the lines while still evoking the "retro" feel. Though I agree with Michielveedeebe that so many teams are rolling "retro" that the distinction is starting to lose its descriptive power. It's as common as black or light blue these days, and hardly sets a team apart. (I still like it, though.)

Now where the hell are the Schlux kits? Who's gonna get the drop, DAOTEC or Christian?

 

[Moondance]

Hmmm... I think the Rabo tricot is a step back from last year. Something about it doesn't feel quite right.

And the Rabo tricot from last year wasn't was one of the nicer ones to begin with.

The Rabo jerseys are OK, but the shorts are bad. The orange at the bottom fades into the skin tones, and makes it look like the guys are wearing little blue running shorts.

Hopefully this color effect is only because of the stage lighting, and they won't look so bad in person. I thought we were through with the flesh-tone outfits once Footon was replaced with a new sponsor.

Edit - actually they look like they are wearing a tiny blue tube top with matching blue running shorts. Can Barredo lead the others in singing/dancing "YMCA" to complete the odd look?

Haha, good imagination.

I think once there's some tdf sun on those legs they'll look a little different. Also from that angle you can't see the white sides too well. That will help make it not blend with the skin as much.

I spoke with someone who has personal knowledge about the Florida team kit, that was the 2010 version.

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

In the 90´s Lance Armstrong used bikes Eddy Mercky but with the name of brazilian Caloi.
After that time, the Caloi formed one of the major cycling teams in Brazil.

Today

hey are you from brazil?? do you follow brazilian cycling??

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

Andalucia should have sticked to the pink and white.

Omega-Pharma Lotto seem to be using a similar design for 2011. I think they had the best jersey of 2010.

South American teams tend to have the most "exotic" looking kits

I always love the south american outfits

[Ryo Hazuki]

Not all 10 of them - João Cabreira is still banned.

The kit's a massive improvement over the old Madeinox one though...

LA-Paredes Rota dos Móveis have just 9 riders for next year, Boavista 10... a lot of good riders without a team in Portugal.

portugese cycling is in the worst shape it's ever been in, only 4 ct teams next year and they are smaller and poorer than ever

The new Avanti-Pure Black Racing strip...

This small, new pro team is based in New Zealand but will be racing in the States in 2011.

[whittashau]

[L'arriviste]

Not what we'd call a huge change, then!

 

[ISDfan]

Old jersey was better .

 

[rxgqgxnyfz]

I kinda miss sun and the eagle myself.

It's replaced by faceless corporate looking Hyatt-logo wannabe D:

MONTANA MEDICAL MARIJUANA DISPENSARIES

 

[jens_attacks]

it's ok i always loved turquoise blue.
but this was the best from astana:

 

[mr. tibbs]

Will have to see the whole thing (side and back) to be sure, but I think Astana '11 will be lackluster while standing still but awesome when you see it in the peloton. Just a hunch.

2010 was Astana's best, I think (sorry jens_attacks):

 

[markene2]

Nice jearsy but it dosent feel right without the eagle and the sun. I liked the 06 astana jearsy best

 

[luckyboy]

Wow, that Astana jersey sucks. Euch.

2010 was Astana's best, I think (sorry jens_attacks):

This was waaaay better. One of the nicest jerseys of this year even.
