[Bye Bye Bicycle]

Ladies and Gentlemen, what a great way to start this legendary thread's 2022 edition:

(new Continental team from Spain)

Looking back, I see that Exotics didn't make the cut from 2016 on, but it's still a great homage to an early forum legend.

Wow, that is something else!

I don't think your link is working.

Teddybear galaxy print. I can die happy now

 

[Max Rockatansky]

We can close this thread immediately. This jersey has won the internet.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Just a marketing stunt to get people to stop talking about their embarrassing WT team takeover attempts.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

TBF they've been running an amateur team in Spain in the interim, but yes.

Takes me back to the glory days of Team Ukyo - team boss Ukyo Katayama (the former F1 driver and mountaineer) has a personal link (I believe through his wife) to the manufacturers of the popular Hatsune Miku vocaloid, essentially an anime girl embodiment of autotune software that has taken on a merchandising life of its own, resulting in some pretty absurd jerseys. 2018 started with them clad in this:

The riders are probably glad that Zenrin came on board as a secondary sponsor meaning that by the time most races came along they looked a bit more presentable:

...well, at least from the front. Helicams will have picked up the back of the jersey, which looked like this:

(I will give bonus points for the creative way to get Zenrin's sponsorship on the back while keeping the vocaloid).

Racing Miku is less of a thing now in terms of the jerseys. "Itasha" designs are a bit more presentable as a car wrap (see Goodsmile Racing in Super GT, also run by Katayama) than body-hugging lycra, so instead they have normal cycling team styled jerseys, and just sell figurines of Racing Miku with a bike and Team Ukyo kit.

Who thought that image would work with the print?

Actually, scratch that, who thought that image would work at all?

I think they're supposed to be lions.

I thought they were Sandslash.

The Canyon manga bikes would work quite well with those jerseys.

Cool, I haven't seen a jersey on a jersey since Vino4ever.

 

[RedheadDane]

The really cool thing would have been if the figure on the jersey had been wearing the jersey.

 

[Netserk]

Only the collar differs?

 

[RedheadDane]

The figure on the jersey doesn't have the figure on the jersey.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

TBF that jersey is infinitely cooler than Racing Miku, because VINO.

The only thing that could have made Pat McQuaid's face better after Vino won the Olympics would have been if he had done it wearing that jersey.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

The figure on the jersey doesn't have the figure on the jersey.

It's on the back so it might have it, but you just can't see it. Of course the riders would have to wear the hoodies, too.

 

[Netserk]

The figure on the jersey doesn't have the figure on the jersey.

Samu beat me to it: You don't know that. I think the figure on the jersey has the figure on the jersey.

As I wrote, I can only spot a difference with the collars.

I wonder if crashes increase with that riding around int he peloton

It doesn't have fans names printed all over the kit, so it's safe

 

[Sciatic]

I’ve completely lost which jersey you’re talking about now: the Manuela Fundacion kit which is new for 2022, or the Racing Miku jersey from several yrs ago?

"Vincenzo who's this Red Rick guy"

 

[Netserk]

I'm quite sure that Devil's Elbow's comment was about the OP, Sciatic.
