New Jerseys - 2016 Season - TeamKits-Maillots-Tricots-Tenues

Re: New Jerseys - 2016 Season - TeamKits-Maillots-Tricots-Te

Why does the kit say "La Datcha"?

Allegedly that's the name of Tinkov's new hotel/villa he's building in Courchevel.

Simply because that would be the French way of writing dacha, which is obviously what that will be for Oleg.

Re:

Here's another look:

I like that they're going against the black/dark blue grain and kits always look different out on the road, but...I find the new IAM kit really bland. Much prefer last year's version to this one. Then again I thought the Castorama overalls kit back in the 90s was awesome so I may not have the best taste.

Jersey not too bad, but there's a long way to go compared to the 2010/11 jersey

Longer sleeves = more material = even higher prices Rapha can charge.

Is there some Estonian conspiracy going on here?

Blanco existed just to start this craze

Talking of Rapha, I notice they've demanded more ad space on the kit.

More white at Trek it seems

Another irritating teaser campaign: just tell us for crying out loud.

Agree! Though in spite of the small spoilers, IAM's jersey was indeed a surprise when it was revealed. Hopefully Trek's jersey is a surprise as well. Heck, my guess is that it's pink!

Even more annoying than teasers is each team having a goofy generic hashtag someone was probably paid good money to come up with.

Re: Re:

On an unrelated note: Doesn't Alberto look kinda unfit in that picture? He doesn't look as lean as previous winters to me.

The jersey is designed to make visual estimations of fitness impossible.

Best comment. Specially on such a tedious topic again.... He looks lean.. Oh no he is fat. Ooooh come on

Anyways... Great jersey, love it really

 

[Kwibus]

Sky kit looks good for a Sky kit. A bit boring for a cycling kit, but it's looks good.

I prefer cycling kits that stand out though.

That Tinkoff training kit is awesome! I like the IAM kit as well, decent design.

 

[PremierAndrew]

Re: Re:

Is this really Tinkoff's new jersey? If it is, it's freaking awesome

It's this season's training kit

Thank God for that. I would hate to have to look at that kit every race. Iam's kit on the other hand... wow

You kidding? That white back on the 2010/11 jerseys, awful. Hated those jerseys. So clean, so corporate, and yet that stupid flat white back out of nowhere to make it harder to pick out from above. Painfully dull.

This jersey is still boring, but at least with a semblance of classiness. It is more designed to sell to British Freds than to be noticeable on the roads. This seems to be the route most teams are taking, in fairness, leading to lots of boring, understated kits because designers understand only the hardcore cyclist will have the temerity to purchase a bright, distinctive cornea-scorcher.

The IAM jersey is great, all the other ones okay or even bad.

At least it's not black is the nicest thing to say about this. No design whatsoever

It must have been a blind person who put together those two colors. WTF?

 

[Libertine Seguros]

I really dislike the transliteration of the team as well.

ю ≠ у

Given the "sh" they've used English orthographic norms as the transliteration standard, therefore

Катюша = Katyusha
Катуша = Katusha

The former is correct Cyrillic (and the one that makes sense), therefore the former transliteration is the right one

Hence why they're Katjoesja, Katjuscha etc.

They've always previously had the Russian on the jersey, so it's been in Cyrillic, but I am not able to un-see them putting such an error on their jersey. It's a small thing but it's going to bug me every time.

This one and last year's were so great. The new jersey is bland.

 

[Gigs_98]

Re: New Jerseys - 2016 Season - TeamKits-Maillots-Tricots-Te

It's very recognizable, but besides that its an awful design compared to their last jerseys. IAM is still the only one this year which I really like.

Re: New Jerseys - 2016 Season - TeamKits-Maillots-Tricots-Te

This was the best imo

But this one (2012) too:

The current one is not bad, but not really special either. But perhaps it looks different when racing in it.
