I like the green, i like the black shorts. but something is wrong with that jersey.
its the shadows on the argyle.

Jancouver is right, it does look dirty. would look better just with no argyle.

Nope, not quite. I saw Clarke's on the road at nationals and it looks even worse on TV, really bland.

Rather than the argyle being close shades of green, they needed to use much more contrasting shades IMO. A few more sponsor logos wouldn't hurt either.

Michael Rasmussen's favourite jewellers return to sponsorship, but seem to have abandoned their corporate ID (that blue circle on black, and retain the colours of the team's previous incarnation, Team Stuttgart.

"That blue circle on black" was the logo of co-sponsor Onfone. ;)
Christina Watches/Jewelry don't really have a corporate ID beyond the font of the logo.

Still a bit bland, but much better than the front. They will be really easy to spot in helicopter shots which is a big plus for me. It also shows how little it would haven taken to make a much better front.

Ok, yep, that's a lot better.
Still utterly uninspiring, but easy to spot in the bunch, which is a big plus.

Any news yet on Direct Energie? I've seen some mock ups online but nothing looks quite right- also, getting rid of Colnago?

Dimension Data's jersey is one of the worst I can remember.

At least with the other stupendously dull, boring corporate jerseys you can at least see the thinking of the sales of replicas (Sky, Bora, Trek, Giant) even if the jerseys themselves are nothing interesting, they're more likely to sell to Freds because while boring they can at least look halfway classy when done right. This is not that. This is something you'd put back on the shelf in Decathlon or not bother picking up because it's so bland you didn't even notice it.

The back is a crappier version of the Geox kit from 2011, and the front is so boring it actually offends me. It makes Leopard Trek look like FDJ.

The Direct Energie jersey is in theory a dull corporate jersey, but it's saved by the corporate logo being ideally suited to a cycling kit - simple, striking, bright and easily recognisable whether shown as a whole or in part. So it ends up looking great. From a designer's point of view, being handed that bright yellow circle is approximately one billion times better than being handed the, also bright yellow, Lidl logo to integrate into a jersey.

Dimension Data's one is absolutely woeful. It is almost beyond comprehension that professional designers were paid for it.
