I like it on its own, but I'm afraid it'll be easy to mistake it from the front. I hope they wear distinctive enough helmets, or I'll think they're Lime Country champions riding for Radioshack.

A Radioshack national jersey would never be that distinctive. Those three coloured bands are way too big. A Radioshack national jersey is a child with a felt tip pen drawing a thin line of flag colours across a jersey.

This is by far and away the worst season for kits I have seen.

Really? I like this season.

 

[will10]

Really? I like this season.

I think the quality is more polarised this year. We've got some really great jerseys (Lampre, FDJ, Garmin) along with some of the most horrific in years (Radioshack)

 

[Michielveedeebee]

AWWWWWWWW my eyes! they hurt!

the greenedge "preview" kit was better

at least it's a proper nat champ kit

 

[Michielveedeebee]

Jersey is fine. They've made it distinctive so at least that should make it "safe"

SG's National kit is ok too, they bumped the bands lower when I thought they'd have raised them but it's a distinctive kit which is what you need so its already better than the faux-jerseys (Leopard, Chavanel, Sagan, Rojas etc etc).

what's this BS about chavanel's Jersey! It's perfectly fine!!

 

[Andy99]

Don't think the GE kit is that bad.

What happened to the Subaru logo that was on some of the shorts previously

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

I like the GreenEdge kit. Tastefully done.

My favorites so far are GreenEdge, Liquigas, and Saxo.

I hate them all because they all follow the same design

Black upper part, white under part with some different colours mixed into it... Hate it.

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

That red and green together is just horrible.

Let's hope he never leads the Giro: those shorts and a pink shirt...

Not sure how you can apply that criticism to Lampre and FDJ

 

[Michielveedeebee]

those are amazing jerseys indeed

The deep sea blue compliments the the acid/lime green really well. My favourite. Clearly theitalian teams can design jerseys which makes sense I guess.

limiting myself to the world tour ones i have seen

Like
AG2R, FDJ, Lotto (grew on me watching nationals), Katusha (not getting the hate for this one), Garmin, Liquigas, Saxobank
Indifferent
Lampre, Rabobank, GreenEdge, Vacansoleil, Astana, Euskaltel
Dislike
Confidis, BMC, RadioShack, Movistar (i still think they are to blame for minimalist national jerseys), Sky (disliking the big blue stripe more every time i see it), OP-QS

if i had to pick a least favorite - Radioshack
will reserve judgement on my favorite until i have watched some actual race coverage.

 

[auscyclefan94]

Seem to be very much in the minority here but I don't like the Liquigas kit at all. They certainly are eye-catching, though, I'll give them that.

Of the new/redesigned kits for this season, the only one I've liked so far is Saxo, though Garmin and Lotto aren't bad. Favorites are still FDJ and Euskatel, though.

 

[craig1985]

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.

 

[La Pandera]

This is awesome

Whoever designs their kits is awesome. I like last year's too. Both year's are very tasteful and classy.

i don't know if you are being serious but: white bibs? really?

I'm speaking from a strictly visually appealing perspective (provided it doesn't rain!) not from a practical standpoint. They look sharp IMO.

 

[42x16ss]

A look at the whole kit:

Not a fan, will wait until I see it in the flesh first though.

Aussie Fred's are gonna buy these by the dozen.....

 

[Eric8-A]

These are the best jerseys by far
