    From the Onyx to that ^. That's evolution in action that is.

    Yeah I've spent a few weeks over there this year... And in Norway where the dress code is similar.

    My office is very casual but I don't like turning up to work in jeans.

    Handy idea that, building a track pump into the bike ...

    New look for Astana... much less blue, a splash of yellow, and black shorts!

    ^ The fade thing looks ok'ish, but yellow bands make it look like 2 ideas bolted together because they couldn't agree which way to go

    Astana kit is a massive improvement, not perfect but sooo much better!

    Are you serious?

    No wonder it's so difficult to get good looking kit.

    The original jersey was good, ever since the sun, corn and eagle from the national flag have gone I've never been a fan of their kit. Do have last years winter one as I wanted to stand out in the cold

    Sheesh... There's an image that screams "we're ready for action - and that action is having our arses kicked". They couldn't find a fit, bronzed team rider to model it (ideally somewhere sunny) - instead of a dummy modelled on an anxious Steven Kruijswijk aged 12 in his first race with a wonky helmet?

    The Astana kit is much nicer with the black shorts. At first I did wonder if the yellow bands were still some tie in to Livewrong and the Tedious Texan (but that was ages ago); I'm sure even with their darker bits of 'history' Astana are keen to distance themselves from that period.

    Yeah. I do.

    This looks like the Top Gear version of the Astana kit.

    Each to they're own. As I said its not perfect by any means, but I found the all blue kit, especially the leggings ensembles, absolutely cringeworthy. :D

    Many many dark moments from their history to choose from, mind

    This is an excellent point. Memories of the horror of the Smurf tights are enough to keep one awake at night

    After those monstrosities a couple of pages back, I like this.

    Can't work out what the molecule is supposed to be - it isn't Argon (or EPO).

    It's the Argon 18 logo...

    All in one package. It's tidy but I did like the full Kazakh branded kit that Sherer referred to up thread...

    BTW - note the black socks!

    Why is the logo yellow backed, and not red as in previous years (on bora)?

    But Argon 18's logo is red...the stripe on Bora Argon kit was red so why the change to yellow stripe? I know yellow is part of Astana kit, but that doesn't mean Argon 18 are going to change the colour of their logo?
