That PR message just say Craft will sponsor Orica but not the australian federation; am i missing something?

No, just surprising considering that the two are so closely intertwined.

We can see the shorts are slightly different aswell as the German champ jersey.

Well, that bib design change didn't help.....

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

It might just be blurring due to a slow shutter, but it looks as though they have mis-spelled the team name on the shorts: Loto?

 

[Aapjes]

It's blurring. Just look at the logo on the jersey. The T extends under the o. The bib cuts off part of the L at the beginning and part of the o at the end. That's why it looks so weird like this.

Love it! All teams should trade white for black, looks so much sleeker and cooler.

 

[Gloin22]

Meh, I bet there will be confusion with Sky know... it's not bad, but they could have done it better.

 

[LaFlorecita]

I hate all these black boring jerseys. Color is so much better.

 

[BigMac]

BMC posted this as their new kit for 2014. The bib is different from the one Gilbert is using. Looks good.

agree, OPQS's kit is getting duller by the minute. Reverse evolution.

 

[Parrulo]

OPQS continues their downward trend on kit design. Their 2012 kit remains by far the best one.

BMC dull as ever. . . . Seriously hate those red shorts. . .

 

[Kwibus]

I kind of like black, but every team is going for a black kit it seems.
I don't like that! :/

I fear in the new corporate era that too many teams are concentrating on a kit that will look slick, stylish and marketable in the photoshoot at the launch, and not on what will be immediately noticeable and identifiable from a helicam on a rainy day in Flanders. After all, the main function of a cycling jersey is to sell the products of its sponsors, and that sponsor will be identifed more often when their team is easily identifiable. You don't all have to go the Lampre route, but it definitely helps to have a distinctive colour scheme that enables your jersey to be spotted without a second glance.

The wig goes with the kit?

 

[LaFlorecita]

The wig goes with the kit?

Lmao very witty

 

[BigMac]

The wig goes with the kit?

Truly hilarious.

 

[Christian]

Think I prefer the new OPQS jersey to the old one!

Same with BMC - but damn, those knees are f'd up!

Plus, what is with the stylish watch?? New SRM device or something??

It's Gene Wilder.

 

[Pippo_San]

Black is the new black every year since the Sky revolution.

 

[theyoungest]

Yeah, every year since Sky ripped off Cervélo's kit
