Some more kits:

New Drapac Porsche (Aussie Continental team) in 1st, and Mat Hayman just behind him, and a more front on view of Cantwell's kit.

I win the interwebz.

Is the sky kit also new? It seems as though nothing has changed.:confused:

Me too! Marco Pinotti has already modelled his jersey on twitter.

EDIT: deleted pic because it has already been posted.

Doesn't bother that they haven't changed it because it is a nice, simple design.

Mmm... I want to buy a new tricot myself this year, and of the jerseys I've seen for 2012, there's none I really like.

Considering I have 2010 Astana, Caisse d'Epargne, 2009 Euskaltel and 2010 Liquigas, my options are limited as well. Movistar is a possibility, but then I don't like that jersey as much as the Caisse d'Epargne one.

I don't want a dark/black one either, so that's Garmin, Sky, Europcar, GreenEdge, Vacansoleil out (and of course I don't buy jerseys from new teams as they might be gone without having an impact on cycling, Project *insert some random letters* is also out for that reason). I don't want a Saxo Bank, Radioshack, BMC for political reasons and I don't want Lampre for color technical reasons. I don't like red so that's Cofidis out of contention.

Leaves FdJ (that's a good possibility), Caja Rural (might be too dark...), AG2R (bit too brownish, although overall I like it, but I don't see myself riding in it), Rabobank (won't buy as its hideous and too popular in the Netherlands).

Might opt for an obscure Continental one (shame Orbea is also very dark)...

A better pov

I love it. I thought last year's jersey was good, with the extremely light baby blue, this year's is even better.

They had to come up with something different, though. As it seems, there are going to be lots of teams with a light blue/ white color scheme.

I understand some people feel the eagle is kind of dorky, but I think it adds a bit more personality to the kit. With the blue it can quickly become too high fashion/minimalistic (which basically means Team Schleck), and I think the eagle just gives that tiny bit of something that makes is personal. It gives me a fuzzy feeling inside. :)

I'm interested to see how it looks on 'Berto. The light blue worked very well with his skin tone. :p

But by the looks of it there won't be black lycra bibs. Which means no Jon-*ss in black anymore. And no Alberto-b*tt-in-black either.:(

*ahem* You could've just skipped that.

I have to say I like the eagle on there as well. On the plus side it gets people talking about it so therefore it's made it's mark. We all agree the Footon kit of 2010 was shocking, but we won't ever forget it.
