  • Aye the Shack looks to be the best of the new kits. The liquigas is certainly a dissapointment

    Fav is Garmin-Cervelo (though I do have a soft spot for the ever larey Euskaltel jersey) and Leopard and Shack are nice.

    I really like the 'Shack one much as I dont want to!

    Would be pretty nice if it wasn't for the clashing yellow band!

    I really don't - that red R on huge expanse of white looks awful. I prefer last years :(

    When a certain organisation is apart of the sponsership surely they are allowed to be represented on the jersey in a manner they like.

    When will people get over their 'LA' issues

    Amen to that and hopefully the thread can stay on track and not get sidetracked on another discussion of the merits or otherwise of one rider.

    Hopefully it stays about the kit.

    The band does look sh!t...

    Looks like Euskatel have been watching one too many sci-fis with that helmet!

    It seems you're the one who can't get over their LA issues. The discussion had nothing to do with that, it was merely about the colour scheme.

    +1 indeed. The fact I said I liked the Shack design should have alerted you I wasn't on a vitriolic anti-Lance rant.

    Maybe Lance will go back to his World Champs bands and his will look better than the rest of the Shack.

    Wow that Europecar is super bland... and those Orbea helmets are bloody ugly... yep looks like its gonna be mature and boring looking peloton this year. At least we can rely on Lampre and Euskatel to bring some colour on board.

    I really do think that Leopard missed a trick with their lack of spots... surely they could've incorporated it somewhere on the kit, even in a two-tone black combi.

    The Euskaltel Euskadi lids remind me of old ladies with rollers in their hair with a hair net over them.

    The amount of money these marketing people like JV and HTC make from the naive gullible teen by big changes in design :(

    I'm reserving judgment until I see them on mass from a helicopter shoot


    the ability to discriminate between teams is my criteria.

    I wouldn't buy any trade jersey ever anyway.
