New Jerseys - 2020 Season - TeamKits-Maillots-Tricots-Tenues

We are starting very early this year.
Lotto-Soudal/Soudal-Lotto (whatever you wanna call it) just presented their jersey for next year.

How is that "continuous name change" thing going to work exactly (I read it, just... forgot…)
And is it even allowed? I thought you were allowed to ride with special jerseys (and possibly under a different name) for one race each year. (Guess it's different when a team change name permanently…)

Guess I'll just call them 'Lotto'.

In Belgian races they will ride as Lotto Soudal, in other races as Soudal-Lotto.
I don't think its allowed to change your official team name, that's why it stays Lotto-Soudal officially. They just want to give more exposure to Soudal because they're paying as much as Lotto from now on. Today they also announced that another sponsor will be paying 50% more (their logo CAPS will be on the back of the pants from next year on) and there are rumours they will announce a 3rd big sponsor (Touring) in September. I think they finally realized they need a bigger budget to stay in the WT comfortably.

I quite like the Soudal Lotto one, but the placement of the Soudal logo within the red part of the shirt in the Lotto Soudal shirt, is just plain stupid.

It's a nice kit for sure. But I prefer bright combinations with red for this team, because it's in their DNA.
I guess you have a short memory, or are not that old. DNA my ass.

Thumbs up for Total - Direct Energie. That team has always had quite decent-looking kits all the way back to the Bonjour days.
Does your wife like it when you go out shopping with her, or does she prefer you stay at home and not get involved? :blush:
