No-one else noticing the irony of all these pictures of logo-laden kits followed by temporary sigs complaining about invasive advertising ?

Except the photos posted are relevant to the subject of this forum.

I'm surprised people hate the FDJ jersey, it's always been similar to the one they've had since day 1. I don't mind the Katusha kit either.

The old one with the big dark blue clover on the white background was much nicer

The Cofidis jerseys make me crave Coke.

Last year there was a team pick of EE posted in this thread. Has there been one this year?

 

[Arnout]

Cannot really find an official sophisticated one, but here you go.

 

[luckyboy]

This was from November. Guess everything's the same whichever photo you look at.

I was going to check if they were still as ugly as last year, but the first thing I noticed is the Lovecraftian abomination crouching on the front row, third from the right.

Surely GreenEDGE can put armbands on previous champions... Aussie team with numerous previous Aussie champions...

Have already seen Aussie bands on Lloyd (Lampre) and Hansen (Lotto)

Bretagne Schuller's new kit. They switched from black to white.

Ouch. Marianne can take these guys' places.

FUGLY as hell

 

[luckyboy]

The Euphony sponsor really makes it worse. The one that Sven Nys was wearing looked good.

 

[Michele]

The 2011 version looked more classic.

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

That Euphony jersey is busier than a brothel in Vegas.

 

[boomcie]

The excessive love for that Liquigas jersey is a little over the top IMO. Sure, it looks nice, but in no way is it the stylish miracle that people make it out to be.

But here we go again, de gustibus et coloribus...

That looks like it's been designed by the same people that created the Fiat Multipla.

Painful sequence of events.

It reminds me of the old csf-group navigare of 2008 and before. If you replace the black by some orange. It was catchy but hideous.
And they both ride colnago.

 

[Hunter Grant]

Thanks for noticing

Called it! (not me. Feb 2011) Click thru.

Yep - C.A.N.R.S. called it! Thanks Tiawan for mentioning it.
By the way, the Annual 2012 review is up for you all to get angry over:

It's like they've decided to challenge Androni for the coveted "most logos you can fit on a jersey" award.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Beautiful! Superb! Excellent! I may have to buy one! Love it!

Cycling jerseys should have to be either simplistic class (FDJ, Caisse d'Epargne) or multicoloured, spasmodic carnage (CSF-Navigare, Mapei). The CSF-Navigare kit was way uglier, but way more distinctive and better than the much classier Colnago-CSF kit. Bring back the craziness, I say. This is a step in the right direction.

Ugggg couldn't disagree more....

I like the Quick Step jersey a lot. Its a color that stands out. Its the blue that Saxo should have had last year.

 

[craig1985]

Question, does anybody think it's possible to confuse the Quick Step Omega Pharma Quick Step and the Saxo Bank teams when the camera is showing them on front-on? Because Liggett did it on stage 1 on the TDU when OPQS went to the front and he confused them with Saxo Bank.
