FFS.

Pin stripe is nice, they should have kept it going on the black sleeve. Nice idea but not quite right IMO

The shorts look like they have a big inner tube patch stuck on them. They could have been more subtle.

No problems with a black bike always looks good IMO.

You're not wrong!

(Actually, I don't like the specs very much, but then I'm too much of an Oakley tart to like anything else...)

That Trek kit is awful.

So bland.

thomthom

greasedscotsman will soon be looking like this when hitting the roads.

Do they now its 2014 and not the late 80s?

Bit of an anticlimax, I thought they might go with the blue/orange combo they used on the tour bikes. That was quite nice (If they used black components like the seatpin, stem etc rather than frame coloured)

I like the poc road helmet, but the other two are rubbish.


If you can't distinguish between OPQS, Trek and Sky you have terrible eyesight, or are stupid.

Is POC Swedish for puke?

Imagine that pale blue POC TT helmet with the pale blue Trek bikes of last years tour... It would be Playmobile goes to the races.

thomthom

Far too many dark kits.

Yep. Rabo gone. Euskaltel gone. I'm starting to appreciate Lampre (although they have the colours of the Olympic hockey pitch, which is nice).

And good on Lotto for bucking the trend.

Well, really only 3 blackish kits and one dark blue. Out of 18. That's not really predominant is it? And out of those, only Trek is super bland. The others are still quite distinguishable.

Aw I really like the new Trek kit. It's no original Leopard Trek but still think it's clean and simple (good in my book). Something that I would actually wear out on ride.

Unless that POC time trial helmet will save something in the region of twenty seconds per kilometre, it should be left on the team bus for every time trial. That aero road helmet looks like it will do the trick just fine while still allowing the rider to maintain his dignity.

The Trek jersey is not that bad. The pin stripes will barely be visible on TV although a little colour somewhere would have been nice. As long as they don't bring back those horrendous turquoise bikes (or whatever colour they were) things will be fine!

DD.

Frank Schleck looking in superb form btw.

That kit is all levels of wrong. It manages to make even the most waif like of riders look podgy and lumpy and the jerseys are horribly short or the bibs horribly low. There's nothing worse than jersey-bib gap.

I like the national champs jerseys but that panel on the shorts is a bit cack

Another black jersey! Prefer it to some of them though.

frenchfighter

It is just the jersey they are training in prior to their presentation.

I don't think they have put any thought into it. It's just something they're wearing until they get a proper jersey sorted out.

yeah I agree. Pinstriped lycra isn't very flattering!
