it's a shame that cycling really doesn't do "retro" kits very often. how cool would it be if AG2R ran their 2001 kit next year?

They could take a lesson from the NBA, with some limited editions.

Maybe Polti picks up the idea!

Don't know about that mate, they've had their fair part of stinkers

And let's not forget about the Dutch national team jersey! I mean the 2012 NY Knicks.

We need more sports teams wearing brown.

Are you sure about that?

Coventry City away kits of the late 70s notwithstanding, Ag2R proved, pre-Citroen, that light blue, as favoured by Decathlon, is a colour that can work with brown.

When it comes to brown, less is more. A little bit of brown and a little bit of light blue works well ... like the Harlequins rugby shirts.

I was wondering why there would be a team called the tuning forks...

Good point, would be hard to guess without context what that is supposed to be. The pre-2000s, logo at least had the rounded shape that would fit a boot.

Outrageously bland and boring. Brown shorts would have helped a ton.

If you remove the names from the DSM jersey, you can still recognise them despite the new colours. Ag2r without the names could just as well be a random cycling club.

the funny thing is that I feel the exact same way about literally every Decathlon/Van Rysel product. Bikes, helmets, shades you name it and I can point out what other brand they ripped off.

If you think that's bad. I present you my high school logo which is also supposed to be a spur...

They didn't make a great job of making them look golden either.

Yes, I wonder who is actually making the team frames, probably like the 7-11 "Huffys" that were Serottas, I think.

Someone needs to go full gaucho like this kit:

Right, but I think the boutique frame builder's name this time is Tsu Luo Ta.

To be fair, that guy is making everyone's bikes these days. It's only annoying when a brand doesn't even hire an engineering team and then demands premium prices.

What's wrong with a little folklore in sports?

Which completes the circle, and brings us back to cycling kits

Sad to hear about the brown shorts. We need more sports teams wearing brown.

We need teams sponsored by chocolate brands

 

[Sciatic]

Especially pertinent if your team name is Browns!

Maybe some Belgian chocolate companies will step up.

The original Chocolade Jacques team took part in the 2004 Giro d'Italia with Mauricio Ardila as leader!

Sylvan Adams approves of the new AG2R (or I guess Decathlon-AG2R now) kit.

I guess this also means we won't see the Cofidis kit leaked by Decathlon this year.

no its bad enough they keep bringing out limited editions for all the grand tours, just design a kit properly once a year and stick with it for the season.

I do think they should have kept the brown shorts, just because its become strongly associated with their brand and team, I dont think teams quite grasp the branding concept sticks more memorably than paint a kit in the latest sponsor.

Surrey cricket club used to have a brown trousers & light blue top kit which shows it can work

 

[GenericBoonenFan]

Does this qualify as a Brown cycling jersey?
