If they got rid of that turquoise logo and put a Union Jack or a simple GB it would be ok.

Well, I'm part Brit and I'm loving it. Nicely abstract without deviating too far from its root.

Have you seen the belted tracksuit jacket though? 😱

Not yet 😀 That does sound odd!

I don't like it. To me it looks like he is wearing a bib to catch the dribble. Don't see the significance of the turquoise strip either. So much black again?

I would have thought the designers would have made the kit more recognizable for the general UK spectators. (Like the Union Jack or GB logo, as suggested).

But, nice legs Chris 🙂

It's weird - most of the kits are essentially half the Union Jack with an alternate colourway Cycling has been given a quarter of a Union Jack, by which point it really doesn't look much like our flag at all. Not a fan of the cycling kit. The overall theme is okay - the red and blue can be a bit too much at times.

To top it off as well, we have Chris Hoy modelling it with a road bike. Surprise weapon for the road race, maybe?

The cycling kit would look better with the full flag on it.I am okay with the new colours.
