How a body like that ^ can achieve what it does on a bike remains one of the great mysteries of cycling. There’s no discernible area from which he might generate the power to flop one pedal over the other, let alone cause the world’s best problems....
AG2R should have at least penned some muscles into the kit like a fancy dress superhero costume. Ain’t no kid going to start cycling when they look at that.

That's why I said what I said above. Thigh gap like a beach body girl.

I'm down to about 160lb now and look like freaking quadzilla in comparison to that dude. But that dude is the real deal. It's amazing and seemingly contradictory.

Bora-Hansgrohe's offering:

RichN95.

^^Van Avermaet looks well fed


Anyway
Mitchelton-Scott (formerly Orica-Scott)



Mitchelton are team owner Gerry Ryan's wine company.

inseine

Nice they're both the same. I quite like it

greasedscotsman

Looks very similar to the kit they used at the Tour this year...

Dear me. If a jersey can make GvA look like he's got a food baby there's little hope for the rest of us.

That blue on the colour - NO

Only GVA's kit I assume has the gold highlights, which makes it look even worse.

Mitchelton Scott looks like a random crit team.

Katusha - everyone has been banging on about how the white is pale blue. I can't see it... but quite like the kit.

BMC have really set the bar low with this offering.

Cant wait for the Cycling Jersey Podcast to get hold of this one...

Yet still an improvement on their current skinsuit red pants/thong

Looks like Clay Cross RT.

I don't mind the BMC, or at least I don't think it stands out as particularly bad, modern pro cycling kits have set a fairly low bar and for me this new one seems close to clearing it.

The other one above looks good if you are a West Ham fan, the claret and blue doesn't work on a cycling jersey quite so well but marks for trying something new.

DeVlaeminck

Or is it blue? I'm assuming this is one of those gold dress things and it's actually red and white.

bigmat

That BMC jersey is shocking. Worst part is the blue neck, how the hell is that going to work on Gerrans?!

DeVlaeminck

Ooh just read back, really liking the new Quickstep and Cannondale Drapac and I think the AG2R, a retro 3 colour kit with those colours is bold! Not sure they need the brown shorts, that might be overkill, but that jersey could become a classic for me.

Katusha is light blue and red upcoming season.

Bit like on the previous page perhaps?

inseine

Just shows how it's all a matter of taste, but i like the AG2R jersey too. It's the BMC kit i find awful, partly because it seems to have got worse each year. I've designed a fair bit of sponsor laden stuff, mainly race cars, and would loved to have had BMC, Assos and TAG logos to deal with.

Some people here seemingly don't see the light blue as the colour it is, but rather as white. Hence the clarification. :P

If you're bored design a BMC jersey. It's always fun to see a different interpretation and who knows, maybe they will buy it.

New Euskadi pro conti team jersey. Great to see these colours back in the peloton.

inseine

Doesn't seem much changed but i still like it.

These guys make Orange look good but CCC–Sprandi–Polkowice always make it look awful

I like that. Clean and classy colours.

Red racing kit and...



fluorescent yellow training kit (although looks like green Cannondale to me in that photo...)

Prefer the training kit, stands out a lot more. The red one is OK, but not going to be easy to pick them out from Lotto Soudal, or Cofidis (OK, the latter only an issue if Trek rider hanging off the back of the bunch...)
