And they will get more publicity as well seeing as though Phil's younger brother Jérôme will race for them.

This post/pic reminds me why this is one of the coolest threads (thanks, Dao) in the off-season. All those "accidentally published" pics

So this means that by 2013, the Vacansoleil jersey will be full white.

They never had the most beautiful shirt and they won't have it next season as well. I don't care really, because I don't think a too stylish shirt suits them

this reminds me of this picture for some odd reason

Lotto-Belisol jersey's for 2012 (rider on the pictures is neo-pro Tosh Van der Sande)

A bit dark for my taste

This has to be one of the most ill-advised photos that I've seen. Draws showing over his jeans, belly exposed below his too-short-for-the-attire-he has-on team jersey. Either have him in the full team kit or in some of the casual Sky team wear that I'm quite certain they have available. I'm surprised that someone as conscious of his "look" as Wiggins is, that he allowed this shot to be taken.

Another view of the Lotto-Belisol kit.
I like it but the problem is with the discontinuity between the jersey and the bibs .

Tell me this people;are Ag2r sticking with their faecal mattered shorts for 2012 or is there a new strip(oh sounds football) in the sewer pipeline?

 

[craig1985]

Actually the AG2R kit has grown on me.

Was thinking exactly the same when I first saw it!

Yeah, I like the colour scheme for it but the knicks don't match well with the jersey.

I don't like the kit. The shirt isn't horrible, but the combination with the short makes it horrible.

I want to twist his top and bottom round, like a rubiks cube to make them match.

Ha ha +1!

As one might expect with a sponsor that's been in the sport for so long, Lotto has gotten increasingly conservative with the passage of time, when compared with their outlandish messes of the late 80s - early 90s. The zenith for me was the Silence kit of 2009, aspects of which are being reintroduced here.

Design

The giant-logo concept on the shorts is actually pretty cool in its own right, setting aside the Rubik's Cube problem.

I do think however that the jersey is a mild fail because it is an overly restrained take on a big swooshy design.

Colour

We have seen above the new GEOFCO jersey - a carbon copy of one of 2011's ugliest kits - and here I think we have the residue of a designer's crush on Movistar's navy. Unlike fluo green, however, the richer traditional red of this kit is not a dazzling counterpoint.

Presumably, the intent was to render a tetradic contrast...

The tetradic color scheme works best if you let one color be dominant. You should also pay attention to the balance between warm and cool colors in your design.

... or a square one ...

... since they are not immediately complementary. You can mentally adjust the colour wheels to match the new Lotto jersey - a process which equates to an uneasy tightening of the point distances, hence the discomfort one feels about the colour balance that one does not feel with Movistar 2011: almost but not quite.

great to see lotto going back to its good'ol colours. the shorts could use some work but still its much better then the bland kits around this year

Designs of their kit are really not that important, they can all wear high end designers kits or jerseys but if they suck at races, what's the difference?

No, it's incredibly important, the worse a kit is, the worse you race. Why do you think Footon was so bad???

Sorry guys.

Just run it through an image site like tinypic and select a smaller size but in the mean time remove the link now.

 

[just some guy]

Appears so but a better picture so you can have it again

That Lotto shirt is brilliant.
