Teams & Riders New Jerseys - 2021 Season - TeamKits-Maillots-Tricots-Tenues

[Squire]

Look at what we once had!

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Ag2r: store's own economy-brand meatballs.
Intermarché/Wanty: like wearing dungarees over an old Androni kit.
Bike Exchange: Bora-Hansgrohe's old hand-me-downs.
DSM: Sky's old hand-me-downs.
Israel-Cycling Academy: some old GreenEdge hand-me-downs.
Bora-Hansgrohe: "hey guys, remember when Saxo Bank removed the black bit from their jersey and called it a new design a decade ago?"
Qhubeka: cheapest off-brand jersey we could find at Decathlon.
EF: the Maglia Rosa without the team sponsor patch square.
Deceuninck-Quick Step: a nice jersey other than the part designed to give the impression of wearing overalls over your jersey.
Astana, FDJ, Movistar, Ineos, Lotto-Soudal, Trek, Jumbo, UAE: "ah, sod it, let's just keep last year's, shame to throw them away when we didn't use them that much"

You seem impressed.

Bahrain and Cofidis don't get a mention?

Add Cofidis to the last line, then Bahrain - not too bad, just the blue cuffs clashing. The Ineos kit is one of the most boring I've ever seen TBH.

What would it take to get Carlton to start referring to them as Team Economy Meatballs?

Perhaps if we all started doing it, it might spread...

I have both the Liquigas and CA at home. CA is one of my favorites ever. Green is criminally under used in sport Caja always look amazing

One reason green is not used that much in sport in general is probably the fact that a lot of sports are played on grass where green is not a very good colour.

Sagan often rides in green, though.

 

[Ranagazoo]

There are so many white kits this season I can't tell who's who - israel, ag2r, qhubeka, uae, maybe trek and bora too. Bike exchange not raced yet but also looks like a clash.

How I miss the days of Lampre and Liquigas

 

[lemon cheese cake]

Well that's a load of pretty rubbish kits compared to some in the past

And I'm sure people said the same those years, moving on...

 

[pmcg76]

Amore e Vita provides some much-needed jersey greatness:

Best jersey I have laid eyes on for this year. Fanini teams had the mulitcoloured horizontal stripes going all the way back to the Murella/Remac teams in 86/87. The team Rolf Sorensen started his Pro career at.

I think the early 90s were a great time for identifiable kits, pink and day-glo yellow were in fashion. You had Amaya Seguros, Gis, SEFB with mainly pink/-ish jerseys and Lotto, Navigare, Spago all had pink sleeves. Some teams had pink helmets. Then came Telekom, Chazal and Postobon before pink went out of fashion except for T-Mobile and now EF.

I loved the Liquigas kits.

What brand is the bike? I can't see...

They’re considering a new tube profile to allow for an even larger font.

 

[sir fly]

A figure-ground composition of the entire down tube would've been striking.
A motion trickery might've been another twist.

I like the colour but that's a stupid amount of setback! Trek needs to review their geometry

It's a very small frame.

 

[fat and frantic]

Watching the Tour of Provence, it has to be said that the pin striped Delko kit is an underrated beauty. Looked crap in theory online, looks great on the bike.

Looks like the seatpost is wrapped in bartape

 

[Sciatic]

Looks like the seatpost is wrapped in bartape

It matches the horizontal splashes of colors that are on the front of the women’s team jerseys. But it seems like overkill given we don’t see much of the seat post when someone is sitting on the saddle.

Now if they had actual bartape in that colour for the bars that would be amazing

Yeah, shame about the bike. The rider needs a different size frame too

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Look at what we once had!

I always loved the Gerolsteiner kit.
You could also imagine Erik Zabel actually wearing his Milram clothes while delivering milk every morning.

 

[davidsonduke]

Is it possible that the ugliest TT helmet around is also the best?
