You'd think that the sponsors would notice the fact that you can't really spot their jersey among all the other dark jerseys in the peloton...

To be honest, I don't think they care that much.

It's the same thing in F1 in the last couple of years. Teams go for fairly dull liveries over and over again. Many of them look almost the same from distance. But apparently:
1. keeping a color-scheme that's compatible with main sponsor brand's image,
2. keeping a color-scheme that allows incomporating other sposnors' logos in their nominal colors so that they don't look completely out of place,
is worth more than being noticed easily among others.

Given the evidence I think we have to conclude that they don't care.

Quickstep is awesome. Bora looks good in isolation, but another black jersey in the peloton...

To be fair, the Bora jersey isn't that bad - I've seen worse. However, the shade of blue/green (?) doesn't really work with black imho. Quickstep is good, but removing some of the LIDL adverts wouldn't be bad (effectively I'm agreeing with Cance). They just clutter the front slightly, and I don't like that. Plus, why two? Isn't it better to have one, but bigger?!

Oh, and Delko. Another one design to look good in a studio, for photoshoots (well, it's not one of the best designs which follow that rule this season) but not on the road.

Did the second name sponsor (Willems Veranda's) actually approve a kit that makes no mention of them at all on the front of the jersey? I assume that is what is on the shoulders, but their name will be invisible on any podium/non action shots. Very odd.

The cyclocross team is Crelan-Charles, so I'm guessing that's what the jersey is for.

There is another jersey for the road team.

In a vacuum the QuickStep jersey is hideous, but there's some nostalgia to it so I guess it's somewhat ok.

Join-S de Rijke changes it's name for next season to Delta Cycling Rotterdam. This is the new jersey:

You will probably only see it in the small races in the benelux region as it's a continental level team
