Who's going to buy the new Slipstream jersey then? Sorely tempted when it comes out just because they're not dopers, even thinking about T-Mobile magenta for the first time (helped by the sheer number of Brits).

    It looks like the winner was the only one that gave plenty of space on the front and back of the shirts to the team's/sponsor's logos. The others just fitted them in around the Argyll pattern in various ways.

    I'd ride in this, I like what they're doing. But why Argyle ? :cry:

    But I spotted the Colorado Altitude Training logo. Altitude/nitro tents are banned in Italy, is the team hoping to race in Italy? Tents may encourage a natural response, but only in an artificial way. Pretending to sleep on Mount Everest when you're in a plastic tent at home ain't just bread and water.

    Boo!! That's not as good as some of the others - they'll look like quickstep I reckon!

  • Funny that, I was just looking their site and downloading a picture of their jersey for my work laptop wallpaper.

    I would love to buy the kit to show support for the team and support for anti doping measures.

    My other option is this one...

    I'm not sure it could evr be cool to wear something that say Bobshop.

    Anyway, why wear these tacky jerseys where you can get something classy looking from Rapha :)

    I'd wear a slipstream jersey, but then I would rather ride in Quickstep colours, or discovery, or T-Mobile, or Predictor lotto. In fact I think all of these look better, but I'd still be up for wearing it! :)

    Which is worse- Saunier Duval or Slipstream? :D

    No amount of "squeaky clean" will make me wear Argyle while out on the bike. Or anywhere, for that matter.

    It's not as bad as the present one - it's almost worth consideration

    The US team jersey I really want though is from the Rock & Republic team (the sponsors are fashion designers) - I don't want the tattoos though.

    If anyone knows anywhere that sells them, please tell

    Oh yeah! Rock&Republic really turn heads when they race on North American circuit. The sponsor is not only cooler than cool (in road cycling terms, at least) but are also very dedicated to the sport. I'd show support for that. Especially with a "Hell's Angels in lycra" outfit like that. You should see the team cars.

  • That could be one for Prendas, they seem to specialise in the less well known replica jerseys.

    This is the team where the DS is Frankie Andreu (of the infamous Andreu / Vaughters IM andrecently disappeared off the board of directors of the Agency for Cycling Ethics) and the CEO (Michael Ball) who said: "I told these guys you have to win," he said. "I said to Rahsaan half way through the season, 'I'm not paying you for second or third place. You either win or you're fired.' Same for the rest of them."

    The Anti-Slipstream?

    I'll give 6 months before they turn in a positive

    I didn't say I supported them - just that they have the best jerseys. I know very liitle about them as a team and have no interest in US domestic racing.
