Looks like something Djokovic would wear.

Feel free to ignore me as i'm new, but i actually don't mind the Cofidis kit. Presuming that LeopardShack aren't going to be red, at least they'll be easy to spot.

I don't mind that Cofidis kit. It might be a little boring, but it should be easy to spot in the peloton.

As silly as those pics look, I agree with the above. About the only thing I care about these days is in regards to team kits is, Can I tell whose-whose from the helicopter shots. I would like to see the back of the Cofidis jersey to clarify this. Personally, I didn't care much for the Shack kit from the front, but they were very easy to pick out from the sky.

I also liked the Footon kit. There was no mistaking it for any other!

 

[Granville57]

That could maybe be cool with a LOT more of that green logo in it.
If that's their kit, the green will disappear after a short distance.

I just have to wonder how many of these kits are designed according to how they look in a mirror as opposed to how they actually look on rider with their hands on the hoods.

 

[just some guy]

I have a feeling they have a sponsor or 2 so this is there pre TDU kit - and the TDU will be 2 Chinese multi-nationals and a new Official Kit probably just as boring but that why we have no official photos yet

I think cofidis were aiming for this

and ended up with this

 

[bobbins]

Greenedge kit isn't being revealed until stage 1 of the TdU. The finished kit hasn't even left Italy yet.

The lower picture was online months ago. What we have above is the team having a laugh at one of the fake jerseys being produced?

That's way too simple.

Nah that is Craig Bellamy of the Melbourne Storm league team (Media day yesterday with GreenEdge) that is the actual jersey being used until the January version comes out.

I would imagine the joke is along the lines of big burly rugby coach trying to fit into little cyclists jersey ... and vis a versa with O'Grady.

Jersey is a shocker though.

A number of rumours around now suggesting this, and I think the fact the team bikes have changed from the predominantly white frame (with green highlights) seen in early press releases/announcement of Scott as sponsor, to the bike now which is black and white (again with green highlights) might suggest there's been a little movement on that front.

This ugly jersey was just a (presumably quick) mock up with their early tech sponsors which was used at marketing stands. I think I've seen a Shane Bannan interview (possibly on Cycling Tips) stating that this isn't the jersey. Doesn't stop this forum going back to it on a semi-regular basis though.

They'll wear that jersey at the Nats I imagine.

We are just an old bunch of masters but this is our new kit.

Cool. nice kit and fun.

Well you have done a better job with your kit than most of the pro teams seem to have managed!

 

[Tuarts]

It (the GE one) is the jersey I saw in Sydney

Am I the only one who thinks the 'slow' bit is anything but the case?

Ah, that clears it up, thx.

Very perceptive, Craig. 'anythingbutaslowoldman' is more accurate.

 

[ramjambunath]

I get the feeling that anyone with slow or not very fast in their usernames are anything but. I also don't mind the posted GE strip, quite simple and easy enough to identify.

 

[La Pandera]

Yep I actually like it too.

Me too plus they'll definitely standout in the peloton and be easy to spot(The new Cofidis kit).

 

[La Pandera]

They won't be laughing when they're stuck wearing it for the entire season. It looks like a failed jersey design from the 70's that you find on the clearance rack every year in the same bike shop that no one will buy.

Nice kit. Like the logo!
