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.
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.

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...Don't know about that mate, they've had their fair part of stinkers
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.
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:Are you sure about that?

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?Someone needs to go full gaucho like this kit:

Which completes the circle, and brings us back to cycling kitsWhat's wrong with a little folklore in sports?
Sad to hear about the brown shorts. We need more sports teams wearing brown.
We need teams sponsored by chocolate brands

Especially pertinent if your team name is Browns!
The original Chocolade Jacques team took part in the 2004 Giro d'Italia with Mauricio Ardila as leader!
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
