That's... interesting. A hint of Bardiani goodness in this colour combinations.

In terms of design, I'm not keen on the white patch and, as so often, the sponsor logos clutter it up (the drapac red is particularly unfortunate). But, the fluoro-pink / neon green combination is fantastic and the mushroom helmets in bright pink are hilarious. They certainly won't be hard to see in the peloton.
 
Re:

I find the EF's kit quite nice-looking but I would prefer the argyle scheme to be more visible and I think it could use a tad more color. Either less white at the top part or have the bottom in pink instead of black.
 
What the hell is that.

I find it unbelievable that they always choose to downplay the argyle, the one thing thing that helps them stand out and develop their own corporate image separate from their sponsors, and which makes them a tiny bit more like those teams from other sports that JV wants cycling to emulate.

Exactly how much argyle they can use is presumably heavily influenced by the sponsors and how willing thevlatter are to have thatboattern superimposed over their corporate colours.

Meh. The colors are great but I think that's the worst and least imaginative pink-green design you can come up with. Should have been green-pink argyle.

I'm not quite as hard on the design, but I agree that the colours deserve better. All argyle would be amazing, but probably not a very appealing idea to the sponsors.

They had an opportunity to come up with an abomination that would be remembered for years like Castorama, Carrera or Footon-Servetto but they squandered it :mad:

How is it possible to take pink, green and argyle and end up with such a pedestrian design?

Well, yeah, but how much are they really fighting for it when year after year, with completely different sponsors, the argyle motif becomes more and more irrelevant?

Agreed. They’ve almost totally removed the Slipstream argyle as well as dropping the Drapac red/ochre which are the two distinguishing marks of the naming sponsors. They also dropped the Drapac logo which had been around for years. I really don’t get it.
