Post 'em as you find 'em so we can start to work out what to look for.

Giant Alpecin is disappointing:

I like Lotto Jumbo. Jumbo (pronounced, "Yumbo") is a Dutch supermarket chain - their colours are, not surprisingly, yellow and black:

    New BSE kit is very nice.

    Surely that isn't the Giant Alpecin kit! Looks like it's been knocked up on Microsoft Paint.

    Official launch is on the 7th Jan but this up online as 2015 kit.....maybe it's someone taking a guess?

    I like the Giant one, but then most of my favourite kits are red white and black (Sheff Utd fan you see)

    You sure about that?

    I always referred to it as Jumbo with a hard J. So basically English pronounciation but with a Dutch accent.

    Nice to see Sagan in a decent national champs jersey

    Maybe it's just a TV thing? I lived in Limburg and they all speak weird down there anyway. :)

    Very yellow kit, so they may have to alter it for the Tour? The back room staff wear predominantly black with yellow accents/writing...

    Team Roompots jersey is nice, the BSE one is fab and im sure they will have a white with green trim one for summer. Indislike the Jumbo one and it clashes really badly with Celeste (great to see some Bianchis tho).

    I haven't seen the Jumbo team with their bikes but agree it could be quite bad. Not sure why BSE is so fab and yet SKY is boring.

    Jumbo + bike:

    Re Sky vs BSE, they are similar in the main colour but the similarities stop there. In any case, anything with huge Sky letters is never ever going to be classy.

    That Jumbo yellow and Bianchi Celeste looks a lot better than I expected. The Jumbo kit looks really good on the riders.

    This is not yet official and may be a red herring....

    The lotto helmets are the worst ones in the peloton this year. Replacing the strange Kask vented front closed back thing.

    There are enough of the correct sponsor logos on that kit, and enough pieces done, to lead me to believe it'll be the kit they announce.

    The BSE kit is a bit bland but it will help standout if the white kits are changed.

    That's worse than the one I put up!

    I agree that the Lotto-Jumbo seems to go alright with the Bianchi bikes.

    It's a bright red jersey. It actually looks pretty good. Will stand out.

    they're not as bad as the poc ones garmin wear surely? or those specialised half arse tt helmets that a load of teams wear on the road. i never liked the aero kask ones but at revolution last night thought they looked pretty good.

    also at revolution kennaugh was warming up in a black version of his national champs kit. it's taken over the white version as my favourite jersey. he looked like a pirate national champion (and also a child walking around in his cap)

    This seems to be missing a few sponsors logos but I do like the colours.

    Frankly the Jumbo Christmas Advert this year was so unbelievably annoying the team is dead to me this season...
