Why would he wear franks jersye?

Because he likes a joke, obviously.

 

[LaFlorecita]

and more..

Ugh. This is just horrible. I've never liked the Leopard kit, but this is ten times worse...The flag, the same minimalistic look, the way the bottom half is completely white, and the upper half is way, way too full... It's way out of balance.

...nice that Cancellara won the Luxembourg Champs, though. I thought it was later in the season...

[edit] hold on, he's still Swiss champion. Where's the Swiss flag jersey?

 

[LaFlorecita]

Yeah, good for him.

 

[Andy99]

It has to be a joke

Complete discredit to the Luxembourgish National Champ jersey if its not

 

[luckyboy]

I'm guessing they wanted their best rider to show off their regular jersey rather than everybody seeing a national champion version before the proper kit.

Also, AG2R is going to be the best kit in the WorldTour.

 

[El Pistolero]

It's the Luxembourgish flag, so he's either wearing Franks jersey (lol ) or it's the regular one.

The blue looked like green on that picture

Ok, I'm color blind I guess

Pleased (if a little surprised) to say I have to agree

It kind of looked like green though.

The last two years, the Astana kit has been extremely similar to the Kazakh champion's jersey (the champion's kit only missing the white side panels, which are instead blue). Take a look at the 2011 team pic:

The Kazakh champion (Zeits) is last row, far right.

BTW, Stangelj's Slovenian champ jersey stands out more.

In 2010, Fofonov's Kazakh champion's kit was the same, regular team kit only the white panels on the side were blue. It was hard to pick out in the peloton.

Stangelj's jersey was an absolute beauty though

oh I really dont fancy the AG2R jersey.

So far I prefer Saxo, Katusha, FDJ and tbh both Lotto and quickstep are growing on me among the WT teams. I kinda like the GE too but its just somehow to similar to other jerseys with the black shoulders (aka RNT, Garming, SKy etc, but among those I like GE the most)

Alot of nice procontinental kits btw.

So far the worst WT kits imo are RNT, Garmin, Vacansoleil, Astana, AG2R. Oh and Rabo - but they are excused. Only so much u can do with those colours (0;

Thats very nice looking.

this is live atm

 

[Libertine Seguros]

FDJ, just like every year, have the best jersey.

This Radioshack one... lol at how the red band is too small to actually fit the Radioshack sponsor in. It's like they just drag-and-dropped the sponsor logo onto Fränk's old Lux jersey. Absolutely awful and flat-out ridiculous.

I would rather wear a Le Groupement jersey than that. I've seen Portuguese teams with better jerseys than that.

 

[**Uru**]

I agree. The RadioShack jersey sucks. Zero creativity.

They had me at the Livestrong band.

 

[Chef_Vodnik]

I guess the new RNT-Jersey is a testimony to the team being harshly criticized by local media because "NOW THE TEAM ISN'T FROM LUXEMBOURG ANYMORE HERRRFF DERRRFPPPPPFFFF", hence the flag in both the logo and the jersey.

In related news: it sucks.

Edit: This would also explain why they kept both the design (black and white) and most of the layout of the old jersey AND still have "Leopard" written in humungous letters accross the side - a feeble attempt to keep the "fans" happy, since it reminds them of the "old" team.

LOL!! Me too. Something still lingers like bad breath in the morning.

I did a double take a seeing it. I couldn't believe how bad it is! They could've easily had a sweet jersey, and they end up with this... hmm.

 

[LaFlorecita]

Why so serious?

 

[Libertine Seguros]

I will never criticise Movistar's national champion's kits again. Just wow.

 

[craig1985]

I lol'd.
