New Jerseys - 2017 Season - TeamKits-Maillots-Tricots-Tenues

[RedheadDane]

Dimension Date; I like them as a team, but they really need to learn how to design a good kit. Especially when it comes to the national kits, there is a rule stating that a Nordic Cross jersey must be a full-jersey one.
I was gonna say Scandinavian Cross jersey, but this rule applies to Finland and Iceland as well.
No, I don't know if such a rule actually exists, but it should. In fact it should be a rule that all national jerseys should be full-jersey. I'm looking at you, Movistar.

As it is now it looks as if they've cut the top of the flag... (that goes for all three), just hope the Norwegian - as well as Eritrean and South African - cycling-government-thing will protest it again.

Re:

It's really not.

The only guys you'll see sporting a Mapei jersey are 50+ year olds with extremely low cuff socks and a bandana for a helmet.

Nah the vintage 90s style jackets are in again. Adidas and Nike and plenty of other brands have rereleased these lines

They've been in for around a year now. Just take a look at the young trendy guys in Shoreditch and East London. Not saying I'd wear similar, but it is definitely a trend.

I was reffering more to people wearing actual MAPEI jerseys. I agree that colourful designs are again a thing, there are some nice boutique jerseys out there ranging from random colour splashes to floral etc. However, I do not consider the vintage style trendy in cycling. Not here at least, pretty much only older people wear it trying to emulate the legends from a near past, but it looks awful.

The 90's track jackets and stuff worn by the skinny jeaned hipsters? Thanks, if I ever go to London, I know what places to avoid.

I've found black or yellow the worst color for jerseys under a hot sun.

Didn't the UCI just authorizes rider names on jerseys?

Personally I quite like the classic simple Molteni jerseys

Some countries DO have strict rules about the layout of the jersey. Belgium and Great Britain are two. That's why even when Radioshack were producing those awful abominations of jerseys where they had duct taped a red line across the Leopard jerseys and just stuck a + sign in it for Cancellara's Swiss jersey or really narrow bands for Wagner's German jersey, Stijn Devolder got a proper jersey:

Similarly, the British federation have strict rules about the layout of the British champions' jersey which is why regardless of how awful Movistar's other national champions' kits are, with their Spanish flag bands, Alex Dowsett has had a white skinsuit with the national colour bands:

All we really need is for the Scandinavian countries to add themselves to those countries, because really, it should be impossible to make a bad Norwegian champions' kit, but suddenly we've had a spate of them in recent years as people try to mess with a design that really doesn't need messing with.

 

[RedheadDane]

I know that some countries have a rule, but it should be a universal rule.
I mean... just how much are the Spanish federation in the pockets of Movistar since they'll allow that travesty to continue?
And hopefully the Norwegian federation will complain again.

Re:

I don't know if the norwegian federation complained. EBH's 2015 NCh jersey was even less distinctive than this one and it stood for the rest of the season.

The only news I saw earlier this year was EBH's complaining about the jersey and asking the team if they could make him a proper one.

I am glad their jerseys are red. Way too many black blue and green jerseys for next year.

 

[laarsland]

Red - as in STAINED IN THE BLOOD OF OUR ENEMIES!1!

Oh, wait....

 

[samhocking]

That bike is too big for him.

Gosh Meridas are fugly.

 

[LaFlorecita]

I think the jersey looks nice, at least from what I can see.

Re:

I actually like it. Does it look too much like lampre to you?

 

[RedheadDane]

I do hope Bahrain plan on releasing a picture with either one/some of the riders modelling the new jersey, or simply the jersey on a mannequin. This hanging the jersey on the top-tube doesn't really show much of what the jersey actually looks like...

Maybe. But I dislike aero bikes in general, Merida take it to the next level with the plastic look. I don't dislike the scultura as much as the reacto evo pictured above.

Was that a morbid joke I didn't get?

Savage.

 

[Angliru]

The Dimension Data and the Team Leopard designs are from the most basic of jersey templates that you can find on kit websites. Rapha, Roluer retro inspired kits. Not imaginative in any way. Not that it's anything seriously wrong with that. It's a safe design. But, as someone else mentioned,
it's hard to believe someone actually was paid to come up with these designs. Folks all sitting around a table brainstorming on kit designs and this is what they came up with....and it was given the thumbs up!

What I don't like so much about the new Astana kit is that the blue doesn't seem as vibrant due to the addition of the black in the jersey.

Love it. New fave.
