The Shack. Horrible.

 

[gerundium]

think this contest is going to be a landslide. there is one that sticks out like a sore thumb here.

 

[Dancing On The Pedals]

The Shack, but pushed very close by Katusha

 

[Cobblestoned]

The Shack slightly in the lead.
Man, this will be a close race.

 

[canyonball]

Lotto. Not my cup of tea. After that, it's a tie beetween Katusha and the Shack.

 

[Wigwan]

I vote Lotto, but Vacanse-Soleil is awfully awfull

 

[cineteq]

A serious offender is not here: Lampre

 

[luckyboy]

Obviously Radioshack.

I have to say that the Lotto one only gets worse each time I see it, such a massive step-down from the past two years.

Vacansoleil would be ok if the jersey and shorts matched up.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

A serious offender is not here: Lampre

Lampre might be eye-bleeding but it is at least distinctive. Too many boring jerseys that we can't tell apart from the helicam as soon as there's a touch of cloud cover or a few drops of rain. You always know where Lampre guys are. Always.

 

[Mambo95]

AG2R continues to be an abomination, compounded by the brown shorts (and I believe brown helmets this year)

I might have voted for Astana if it was on the list.

I was talking about the worst looking jersey, obviously

 

[Louison]

I really don't get the hate for the Shack jerseys. Are they great? No, but they aren't horrible like people are making them out to be. They are a nice, simple, classic design. Of course I also don't get the love for Saxobank. The blue is an odd shade, the eagle is awful and the giant saxo on the back is awful, it looks like some old 80's t-shirt design.

 

[Ragerod]

Saxobank by a margin, the black and white was much better.

I'm not liking the obsession with these blue/turquoise colours that seems to be going on.

 

[Ryaguas]

I'll choose the shack... why? cuz all of them look like the lux national road champ... AG2R is not that awful and Lampre? you should have got used to it long time ago haha

 

[LaFlorecita]

Saxobank by a margin, the black and white was much better.

I hope you don't mean last year's jersey - because that wasn't white. But it's okay, RedheadDane had a hard time figuring it out too, just as lots of others.

It's better than black-white-blue.... :|

I confess, I too thought it was white. What I liked about the old Saxobank jersey is that it actually had a bank vibe about it. It had the feeling of a well ironed white shirt with a dark tie like an employee in a bank would wear. I like the new one too though.

It doesn't matter what colour it actually is, it looks white to me and I still much prefer it to this year's abomination.

 

[Coppi'sLaughter]

Ok. I've voted for my second worst as the worst, in my opinion, isn't one of the choices. Its subjective I know but its interesting that neither poll has my choice available...
For the record my least favourite is the OP-QS jersey (two shades of blue plus turquoise don't make a happy family in my mind) closely followed by BMC (looks about twenty years out of date)!

As for RNT I can't really see a major problem with it other than the abomination of the National champions,jerseys. The basic kit is fine.

Personally I think it looked like a white jersey that had been washed with some blue jeans. I really didnt like last year. but this year is awesome.

Btw voted shack mainly cos of the lux-stribes and the bad national jerseys. Also to much blank white on the belly. Rabobank is pretty awful too but after all these years I have just gotten used to it (0;

 

[maltiv]

Radioshack jersey isn't that bad, but considering how they screwed up all their national champions and their respective countries by giving them those incredibly hideous and distasteful national jerseys they definitely deserve to top this list. It's so bad that Leopard riders probably won't even try to win the nationals next year (a bit like the infamous fish jersey in vuelta espana which everyone tried not to wear )

 

[pedaling squares]

Radioshack for turning it into a Lux nat jersey. Otherwise it would have been beaten to the bottom by a couple of others.

If they only remove the blue bar and it would be a fine kit, but now it's simply the kit that Frank Schleck wore last season. It's just wrong to have a national flag on your jersey for everyone. It's not really ugly, but it certainly is very wrong and that's why it gets my vote.

It is actually really ugly. I also lolled at Fabian's jersey, from now of on he's Austrian to me.

There's not a single kit I really like this year... Lotto looked cool in their first race this year, might grow on me, need to see more of it before I can make a judgement though.
BMC is ugly, always hated their kit. Phil's jersey is fugly. QS is kinda cool... All the rest are ugly. The pink ONCE jerseys were epic. I want something like that back in the peloton.

They obviously wanted to stress the Luxembourgian character of the team, but they could have done that with a subtle lion or something as well. The current jersey is just the worst parts of the respective Leopard and Shack jerseys combined, with a Lux flag to uglify things up a little.
