British Cycling have unveiled their new kit ahead of next month's Track Cycling World Championships in Belarus.

Now that's a national kit. Imagine Stannard wearing this. Suddenly he wouldn't be the dutch champion anymore!...

Don't know if this has been covered but:

Endura Kit last year = Nice
NetappEndura Kit this year = Fail

Richmond Racer

With that NetApp-Endura jersey they literally have just taken 2 halves of each jersey and stitched them together.

I want the job of whoever designed it

Not Cadel's bike by the way. This was posted on weightweenies and it had a story with it.

That's what you get when you compromise.

I just noticed, the national kit doesn't actually SAY 'Great Britain' on the jersey?

cogidubnus

It says British cycling on it in quite large font

That's a good thing. It doesn't need to!

did the previous one?

Richmond Racer

I thought it had been agreed that there's a new cycling nation and its called Sky

Did I get that wrong?

The last (non-Olympic kit) had the British Cycling logo where it is on the new kit. It MAY have had Great Britain on the right leg, not sure

Before that the kit for Beijing had Great Britain across the front but that was just for the Olys.

It has also been noted by various parties (including bikebiz) that the flag is upside down...

Haha yeah it was in the first post of this thread! It's not good although an all black shiny kit with fluorescent highlights wasn't good either.

Story behind Evans shot:

"I haven't confirmed this, but a friend of mine tells me the story goes like this:

"I was just down at my local bike shop, TrailHead, here in Anglesea (aka The Swamp). It is quite a small LBS [local bike shop], mainly for off roaders and those on the dark side
Having a chat to Ari, who runs the shop, and he said, 'look at this' and showed me a couple of photos on his computer.
None other than Cadel Evans, the Cadel Evans no less, this Christmas Eve, he'd dropped in to get a new tire having shredded his old one. Anyway Ari has Cadel's bike (a Baum naturally) on stand fixing things when two riders rocked in with tires that needed to be pumped up on their bikes (!!!!).
Ari went to attend and Cadel said, 'don't worry, you keep working on my bike, I'll pump them up.
And he did, see photo.
How many cyclists would there be in Anglesea that have personally had their bikes attended to by a Tour de France winner?"

So not only does Cadel wear plain Assos kit (when you would think he would be in team kit), but he doesn't ride a BMC? Also can he not change a tyre? :shock:
