New Jerseys - 2012 Season - TeamKits-Maillots-Tricots-Tenues-and-Exotics

[Francois the Postman]

I have split off the posts about the 2012 jerseys from the 2011 thread. This should make it easier to find each season's jerseys in one place in the future, without having to trawl very very long threads to see where each season's news start.

2011 thread is here:

And also very similar to the Pinturas Bler jerseys from Colombia, which are one of my favourite jerseys in the sport:

exactky my thoughts although I like pinturas even more

Thank you Mister Postman.

That Lotto jersey is pretty terrible after a few years of nice jerseys.

I'm hoping that the age of shorts with bikini-like patterns on them comes to an end really soon. I thought that there could be nothing worse than those Mapei shorts, but I was wrong.

Mapei was the best, go wash your mouth!

Looks like OP-QST will be fairly hideous.

I hate Leotard for bringing those colors in the peloton.

Just not right.

I know, but what was Patrick thinking - Lotto also the Belgium teams have dropped the ball big time

I think this is the Omega Pharma influence we're seeing here.

The jersey actually wouldn't be so bad if it had the same blue color as last year...

 

[Cobblestoned]

Is that designing or just putting sponsors-names on a jersey ?

 

[taiwan]

Looks like Bianchi celeste. Ironic that Vacansoleil isn't using that colour in their kit.

 

[Fus087]

Well, I like it overall.
I could do without those light blue shapes on the back of the shorts, but other than that, I like it.

I like it to. I think the colors will stand out. Kind of reminds me of Milram or Georlsteiner. LEO did not introduce the light blue.

The front of the jersey is a little boring however.

... LEO did not introduce the light blue...

I think however that the web page shows that the Leotard influence is definitely there: the fonts and the "minimalist chic".

It would have been better had the QS logo matched, but of course they couldn't let their precious (crap) logo be recoloured like this:

Hopefully the OP-QS kit will look a bit better with a better fitting jersey. That ones a bit big. I'm gonna save my judgement on it till I see someone wearing it while riding

 

[Parrulo]

i don't want boonen in that

the blue is too dull the quick step traditional blue would make the kit look much better

 

[Michielveedeebee]

Doesn't look too bad tbh... Way off the 2010 jersey, but not bad.

Let's all hope he wins the BC next year

 

[Libertine Seguros]

The last couple of years have seen lots of attention paid to looking swish in team presentations and absolutely zero attention paid to making the jerseys recognisable from a helicam.

On the plus side: black shorts.

 

[Parrulo]

Let's all hope he wins the BC next year

thats actually the first thought that came to my mind but then i remembered that he will still ride the classics with that kit . . . .

Team green edge... Wow!
