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.

Teddybear galaxy print. I can die happy now
We can close this thread immediately. This jersey has won the internet.
Just a marketing stunt to get people to stop talking about their embarrassing WT team takeover attempts.
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?

The Canyon manga bikes would work quite well with those jerseys.
Cool, I haven't seen a jersey on a jersey since Vino4ever.TBF they've been running an amateur team in Spain in the interim, but yes.

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