Nice back, huh?

 

[Squire]

Is that already the new one? Thought there was an article on cyclingnews this years maglia rosa will be made by a british designer and will be presented later on

This British designer?

Still awfully busy... I like simple though usually. Simple and bright.

As Gianno once said, "OK seeing out Jersey is as reading a newspaper, but I preffere a lot of loyal sponsors beside one big major sponsor" =)

I think it´s nice, but I can´t say I am objective =)

Why the hell Italy needs british designers?

Radioshack also drives Skoda this year. You can't see it in this picture, but in another from the same album (LEOPARD TREK CT facebook page), you can see that it is a Skoda. I think they will get new kits because we saw the guys in Down Under training in neutral gear. Although the NZ riders all wore last year's kits for their NC race. All very mysterious!

No they weren't wearing last year's kit. They were wearing something modified slightly from2012 with the Enovos and Nissan logos removed.

I suspect that'll be it for 2013... no design change, but room on the shoulders and collar for a sponsor (if they get any new ones) to buy a spot.

*ghehe* I should've refreshed the main page before posting. But that's obviously not the same jersey he posted

It's pretty as always. I like the red artifacts, just something different.

As I mentioned before, I still miss the old maglia ciclamino. This red jersey adds nothing special for me. Same reason why I would prefer the Vuelta jersey to be at least bordeaux.

Here goes the IAM team kit (courtesy of Marco Bandiera facebook):

This is a pretty boring design, would have preferred a little more red to match the red at the end of the shorts. And to give it a bit more color.

The material looks cool, the rest is boring & lame.

That's still the 2012 jersey with blacked out 'NISSAN' at the left chest and enovos on the collars.

Trust me!

That can't be the official 2013 kit, the Livestrong band is still on there, I would imagine that will be gone on the '13 kit.

As I said, this pic shows 2012 kit with some blacked out areas.

[sarcasm]

2013 or still 2012, this team jersey is maybe the one which fixed the best to his team leader ever.

Boring, lame, uninspirational, slippery, unattractive, without anything special or distinctive, achlorophyllaceous, characterless

Just like Andy Schleck

IAM: Yet another jersey designed with a snazzy launch in a sterile press conference atmosphere in mind, and with no consideration shown to being distinctive or noticeable on the road.

You regard cycling as disconnected from reality, however these jersey designers have to keep the sponsor's color scheme in mind. Apparently black, blue, and white is the new thing in business land.

This British designer?

(sorry for double post)

Italy, land of fashion, lets a Brit design the jersey of its national tour. Non capisco.

It's not even pretty.

 

[El Pistolero]

Why do you even need a famous designer to develop a GT jersey? It's all pink with sponsor logos. Where can I apply for this easy money job?

I've been wondering the same. Both the shape and the colour of the thing are pretty given so... I guess all there is to design is placement of the logos...

That's as may be, but you can still do things with those three colours to be noticeable and different. I'm sure Blanco will be easier to spot than most. Sky, by getting rid of that stupid white block on the back, have improved their jerseys 1000%, because they might be distinguishable from the rest of the morass in the helicam shots now with the one thick stripe down the middle of the all-black kit. Colnago-CSF used blue and white with a kit that looked stylish from the front and, with the all-light-blue back, was also easily spotted.

While the sponsors' colours may lend themselves to a bland corporate kit designed solely with the press conference in mind (hey, not everybody can be Liquigas or Euskaltel), you can still do something with those colours to make yourself noticeable and get your name mentioned on air. Hopefully they have like, a neon blue helmet or something that makes them stand out. A bit like how before this upcoming season, Movistar were recognisable not because of the fairly generic dark blue kit that blended in with a lot of the others in bad weather on the helicam, but because they had those neon green helmets that made them easy to spot.

The funny thing is, when they didn't have any famous designer to make the jersey back in 2003&2004 there was just much more design in the jersey than now

Paul Smith is a big cycling fan, his studio is littered with bicycles. He has done a few things with Rapha, who as we know is the kit sponsor of team sky now.

Team Sky won the tour with Bradley Wiggins, who has shot to fame because of his accomplishments.

The giro has tried hard to entice Wiggins to race, as part of them trying to "internationalise" their event.

Wiggins is British, and in Britain there has been a big rise in the popularity of cycling lately, due to Cavendish and Wiggins being right at the top.

Paul Smith is also British, which ties into their "Internationalisation", which ties perfectly into their marketing and promotion strategy, which will give more value to them in the regions they are trying to promote in than someone like Armani rolling out the kit.

Thats why the Italians need a British designer to do the Maglia Rosa. Also, even the most managed style guide needs a designer to interpret it in some way, so why not get one that gives you maximum exposure.

all in all, great move by the organisers.

The devil is in the details .

 

[RedheadDane]

Maybe... maybe they'd order the sponsor logos in a way so that they'd have a hidden message!

By the same token, no one will ever have to design a tuxedo again...

Sky improved? Are you kidding??
All that black just soaks up the heat, whereas white reflects some of it out.
Sky 10 suffered like dogs in the Tour (I think it was one of the hottest on record). In 11 Bradley had to win the national champs just so he could wear a whiter shirt. By 12, they had included more white so he didn't need to upset his training progamme and ride the nationals.
I am amazed that Brialsford has let this step backwards go ahead: maybe they are going to tone it down for 13 right enough
