Is it Lithuanian champs jersey?
Not nice0 -
You guys for real? That's a brilliant national jersey if there ever was one.
I'm so sick of the minimalistic national jerseys that were popular among the teams last year. They look so sh'it. Sky and Radioshack should have been banned for wearing those awful things last year.0 -
It kind of looks like a set of pyjamas though. Maybe it's just the light.
But I agree on the general 'subtle' jerseys. I prefer the full on ones like the French.Contador is the Greatest0 -

I'm disappointed Movistar's jersey and bike have gone from being 2 of the best to less imaginative and less vibrant. Looks like it was designed by Rapha. i.e. too sombre for pro racing, ok for mincing about the etape or a Strava segment in Kent.
Amazed how many have switched from Sram and Shimano to Campag. Campag need the money the publicity will bring them.
With 2 french teams changing frame sponsors (Focus / BH in vs Laperriere / Look / Time out) that's a bit of kicking for Time who I think are now out of the pro-Tour ranks. Maybe it's a big net saving them them, who knows?
Looks like Accent Willems have changed frames to Carrera-Podium from Zannatta. But I really wonder who actually built Zannatta frames b/c, a) they're not a big company, and b) Carrera-Podium are not unfamiliar with a bit of white-labelling.When a cyclist has a disagreement with a car; it's not who's right, it's who's left.0 -
Oh dear, them shorts..
Nothing wrong with the Swiss kit btw.0 -
I think I might treat myself to the Giant Blanco kit if I acheive my 2013 weight loss target.
When do the kits become commercially avaliable“New York has the haircuts, London has the trousers, but Belfast has the reason!0 -

I quite like that jersey but I'm not sure which Sky national champs jersey you reckon was so bad. I assume not the British one as that managed to do classy whilst leaving no doubt which country he was champion of, I guess EBH's jersey could have been more obvious (as it is for this season). Some national jerseys work well as 'flags' whilst others are better being more subtle - something a few US champions could learn from!0 -

You are right that some jerseys work better as flags than others. Scandinavian flags are an example of that. Always look great. But I'm still not convinced by subtle design. Ian Stannard could have done with a big fat Union Jack and it would look ace.
I guess my pointed finger was more towards Radioshack than Sky (they did have a few more national jerseys afterall) but Sky and Radioshack did share the same '3 stripes-design' and the reason why it looked remotely better on Sky's jerseys rather than Radioshack's was due to the rest of the shirt design. Radioshack simply did nothing right last year. Not even the kits.0 -
My eyes!
I actually like the understated kits, kind of harking back to the older days when there were less sponsors, now there's names on every available bit of fabric! (Of course I realise this is how they get funding before anyone says it)

I liked it. Think it's time for a change though, it's been around for a while. Not sure about the new one, looks like it's faded in the wash. Best one was the old BCF one, like this...
Good pic that!

Semi-finals... Coach (my dad) was saying: Go out hard, back off and save something for the final. I think I caught my opponent!0 -
