What do you think is the nicest cycling team jerseys since 2000.

I haven't see that much nice kit, either pro or amateur team.

Anybody ever found some kit that is really impressive? I think most cycling kit has too much going on, colors, stripes, splashes and logos etc.

I watched a video for BMC TMR01 and the matte black kit that Thor is wearing with just the small BMC logo is really nice.

So anybody come across kit that is actually nice?

I like the Skil kit but they're no longer sponsoring the team. within the Skil kit I'd have my favourite year too!
The Cervelo Test Team kit from 2009 is cool too. I find people not used to seeing cycling gear still think the cervelo kit is cool

I'm a big fan of the Garmin Sharp kit from this year and last year. Best looking kit in the peloton!

Skill kit doesn't really stand out too much for me. This the one you meant?

Very brave leaving his bike outside like that on its own!

Nice kit though

Yeah Garmin might be the nicest of the pro peloton.

Kelme Costa-Blanca kit from 2000 when they rode and we're sponsored by Gios was mega.

Deserves a mention, (purely for the boardsies who have it

):

+1 for Garmin, especially their 2011 Garmin-Cervelo kit.

Quite liked the Garmin Chipotle kit:

I also have this shop kit which is fantastic looking, IMO:

Although no decent action shots, just the one above!

thats the chinese version of the 2011, no I prefer the 2007-2009 one mainly but because it was closest to Kellys one. The 2010 one was good too but just too blue on the arms.

Of this years kit, I actually think the An Post-CRC one looks really good. I think when I first seen it the jury was out, but despite it being sponsor happy (which is fair enough as money is tight), I think the black works well

which is the best Ireland jersey?

mossym · 15-03-2013 09:14PM

i may get slammed for this, but i think the current Rapha Sky jersey is very very nice

I feel the same way. It's simplistic and looks so sharp

It's grand. A bit too stylish, i like my jerseys a bit garish, lampre or euskatel are great for that.

The only pro jersey I've owned in the last 13 years is Gerlosteiner. It was mad cheap.

The defining characteristic of a good team jersey is that in addition to standing out in the peloton it looks absolutely dreadful on anyone below ProTour level.

Ah come on, you are making this too easy...do I need to go finding some ROK 2012 photos?

(Might take a while sifting through all the hi-viz)
