Any one have inside info on new kits for the tour?!

I'm looking for garmin-cervelo to go white, liquigas in their new black, maybe something unique for HTC, and contador to wear yellow :p

Sky will be wearing a green kit like the ones they used at the Tour of Britain last year.
 
He's talking about the black kits they wore in Philly a couple of weeks ago but they won't be wearing them at the Tour.

They were to commemorate Cannondale's 40th anniversary but supposedly they won't be worn again.

I'm sure HTC will have something new. They always seem to roll out a new sponsor at this time of the year. In 2008 it was Columbia when they came onboard, in 2009 it was HTC, and last year Google/Skype came on board as minor sponsors but they still had their name on the kit.

I agree with Luckyboy WRT to the black Liquigas kit, if they wore it at the Vuelta, I could honestly confuse them with Geox, especially if it was from the helicopter.
 
Speaking of outfits can AG2R and EE change theirs. The choco soldiers look disgusting and EE's looks plain now. It's good that BBOX's switched to Europcar as well, injection of sponsorship and new outfits suits everyone. I wonder what Greenedge's will look like when they come onto the cycling scene.

I didn't know why they were wearing black at the time, so thanks for the explanation. I was watching the race and looking for Sagan each time they passed, but the first few times I completely missed all the Liquigas riders because I kept looking for green and didn't realize they had black jerseys on.

Would be nice if LEOPARD - TREK had a little thing for Weylandt imo.
Not a huge #108 on the front, but WW with small letters on the side maybe?

Or maybe it would bring back too many feelings?

AG2R have the nicest pro kit along with Lotto.
I agree with you on the latter, but not the former. Brown pants haven't been in style, aside from vintage shop hipsters, for quite some time.

Half page adverts showing Team Sky's green kit in the national press today.

Can only be good for raising the sports profile. :)
