I really don't think they are that bad. They do seem to be very red, but that could also be the lighting used in taking the pictures. Seems better than OPQS and Lotto personally.

Better than OPQS? Haha. Well, yeah, it's also better than AIDS and oil spills.

I kinda like the Cofidis kit, though the red could be a just a tad darker.

The FDJ one is decent as always, though a tad boring

Regarding OPQS I would have liked alot more if the jersey had matched the shorts.

Quality FDJ kit.

The Cofidis kit will be easy to spot from the chopper which is one plus, but I don't like it.

Look at how extremely red they are in the faces on the Cofedis shot. Out in the races it might look way less bright. But yeah they ARE very red :p

I don't even think it's better than OPQS!

If it had to blue from QS it would actually be a pretty neat jersey...
 
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.
Also don't mind the Lotto kit although the colours on the QS kit are a bit bland.
Are we expecting anything vastly different from any of the existing teams, or just variations on current themes such as cofidis?

Oh, and hello, I'm a slightly overweight bloke from the South of England. :eek:

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

The FDJ kit is nice on a sunny day, but terrible in the rain.

Well, I like the FDJ one. Regarding the Cofidis it my looks darker because the logo is not the same as previous years. The 2012 kit will use the Cofidis for mobile specific logo

What I find weird about the Cofidis kit is that the white stripe across the top of the chest draws the eye away from the sponsor's logo, which is kinda defeating the purpose.
 
Dear god, these are all pretty brutal so far; even FDJ's normally great kit seems like a step down to me (don't like how the lettering is in a box, I always loved the clover and letters kind of bursting out without borders). I can only pray that Lampre doesn't change much from this year's insanely bright pink, that was one of the sweetest kits I've seen in years.

Tasteful if unremarkable.

About the Cofidis jersey: I think the stripe is to go with Look bikes' visual style.
 
Looks the same as the mock-up which we all derided as possibly the dullest kit they could probably have created, and after all the negative reaction the team were keen to assuage doubts by saying it was just a prototype and the finished product would not resemble it. I know they're a nice little corporate team, but the other super-corporate teams were at least a little bit more stylish.

I'm getting more pessimistic by the day. I'd rather wear the OPQS kit. At least that is ugly and kind of funny with it. If that is the GreenEdge kit, it is perfect for them - corporate, bland, a bit second tier and inestimably boring.
