True about protecting the brand recognition. But I thought the same was true for the Giro pink, especially since the original race sponsor, La Gazetta, still prints a pink newspaper (or it was the last time I saw one). But I don’t think there have been as many pro kits in pink aside from EF and old Telekom/T-Mobile, so it doesn’t come up as often?

And few, if any, other leader's kit in pink, so whether it is a GT issue is moot.

I wouldn’t agree with that—only the GTs require or request teams to change their jersey colors—there are other races with leaders jerseys other than pink or yellow but they don’t require teams in those other colors to change their kit.

Other team sports have  home and away jerseys for the whole season.
Waaay too complicated to implement something similar in cycling I assume.

Definitely! Could you imagine if during stage 4 of theTour this year, all the French team had to stop and change from their "away" jerseys, to their "home" jerseys?
Or what about that stage in the Giro where they kept crossing back-and-forth between Italy and Slovenia?

Rather than some weird splashes with stars, I hope Visma will keep it simple and have something resembling their Champs-Élysées jersey from last year. Just switch yellow and black on their standard jersey.

If there is a will, there is always a way.........You could base it on their home country, or where the Factory is based......It doesn't have to be complicated - it's the usual excuse in cycling to not do something.

The thing is it makes no sense why VismaLease bike have yellow jerseys anyway as neither of their main sponsors use that colourway.

It's almost like they went people will forget who we are if we aren't yellow anymore.

So they could have designed something that wouldn't clash, but chose not to

I dunno, I think my post above shows why it could indeed get a little... confusing.

Yup, they're going to want to keep black and yellow as the main thematic colours since they've fully embraced the whole "killer bees" identity - and in the process, to my disgust, further bringing shame by association to the good name of the Wu Tang Clan.

They must have enjoyed the Alcaraz-Tsitsipas match from a few days ago.

I was befuddled that they didn't play Wiz Khalifa's Black and Yellow song in all the changeovers.

Yeah, I guess what confused me was that the article I took it from - the same article that Netserk posted in the Visma thread - has the headline "Picture of Vingegaard with new colours", and then there is no picture of Vingegaard with new colours...

So Visma have started the unveiling of their TdF kit, maybe by the end of the day they'll have harvested enough email addresses to actually show it properly
