What the hell is that, Stella? Red, white and blue - repeat, red, white and blue. Its not that ruddy difficult is it? What is the point of national team kit if it doesn't reflect the national sporting colours?
The one time we have the Olympics on British soil and we have some arty farty interpretation of the flag on our kit.
Where do these people get off ?
I suppose its better than something using the awful design restraints of the 2012 logo, but its still a let down.
Agree the colouring is wrong, especially in our very own Olympic year. However i'm no fan of the massively garish red, white and blue union jack taking up the whole kit either.
It doesn't appear to be our finest moment. I have a sporting default theory that the best kit always wins. Looks like I'll have to hope that isn't the case in this Olympics

I think Mapei dumped all over that theory in the 90s. (Unless you liked that kit - some did)
1) It looks to me like the cycling top has an upside down picture of a concorde tail and sellotaped it to the chest.
2) From a distance the cyclists just appear dark and inconspicuous - for the host nation that is fantastic!
3) The red socks on the athletics kit don't help.
4) Since our country's colours are red white and blue - did they just forget the white on the basketball kit?
My wife came up with a similar design on our bathroom wall when she was testing paint samples. I don't remember the Union Jack being made up of pastel shades.
I know we paid millions for that god awful 2012 logo. Anyone know if Stella 'my dad was in the beetles' McCartney got paid for this dull, uninspiring censored ?
Looks like a lot of thought went into it well done set the tone for the games with an utter dull as ditch water kit. Stick to frocks let somebody who knows about sport design something for a sporting occasion. Who the hell rubber stamps these ideas?
Don't get the GB cycling kit confused with the Olympics kit. This was the last affair, pretty plain and boring, but didn't look to bad and didn't introduce any colours out of nowhere.

Which is absolutely vile.

So that's why they got Hoy to model it!
I'd have gone predominantly white purely because I think our girls would have looked good in that

It replaces Mull of Kintyre as the nadir of McCartney creativity.
Yes, but it might have made Cav look fat
It's rubbish by the way.
Nice and warm Brad?

Shocker all round.
This remains the best British cycling jersey ever
I had a proper official one and it is still the most comfortable cycling jersey I've worn.
New kit looks dull. Just dull.

Another disaster for the team of 'artistic directors' for 2012.
