Which team at the TdF has your favorite kit?

**buffybike** · 07-13-2010, 07:29 AM

My personal fave (kit-wise only) is Team Astana, although I like Team Radioshack's jersey's too. Yours?

Sky - nice and simple - and Saxo Bank.

The worst is that Footon one that looks like their butts are exposed.

I'm convinced that those Footon kits are either a train wreck or the best marketing ploy ever. They're uuuuuuuuugly, but everyone's talking about them

I like Saxo Bank and Omega Pharma Lotto.

This thread is worthless without pictures.

I agree. And I like that they put the riders' names on the trunks of the jerseys. It is easy to identify the rider from the side view.

This was my favorite part, and made it so easy for me to realize I had a nice pic of Bradley Wiggins at the start of Stage 2. Names and little flags - they all need to do that!

I'm fascinated by the Footon ones - as was my own personal "Flat Stanely" - Flat Kiki.

She was looking away because she worried that that boy was naked on that bike!

yeah, I don't like the Footon kits either. I never noticed that Sky had the individuals' names on the sides--pretty cool. Ok, new favorite kit--Team Sky!

I know it's not a "team kit", but I love the world champion jersey with the multicolored stripes.

Francaise des Jeux is a perennial favorite of mine, as is Rabobank's orange and blue.

Radioshack and BMC are too similar. Drives me nuts.

The names/flags were really easy to see. You can tell here that I was trying to get a pic of their Canadian rider - and the maple leaf made it quite easy for me to find him.

Easier than checking my list of rider numbers at least.

**arielmoon** · 07-13-2010, 10:53 AM

I agree. Black/ gray and red are too hard to tell apart!

I have to say the Astana kits and the bikes done to match are very eye catching but I have to go with LAMPRE. Gotta love men who wear pink!

Me, too! They are way too close.

I like Saxo Bank the best.

**Zen** · 07-13-2010, 11:50 AM

I vote for the nudie ones.

**nolemom** · 07-13-2010, 12:23 PM

I have to go for Saxo-Bank, but I have included the "nude" Footon kit for reference. I did find it interesting how the guys I ride with had a real problem with this kit, but loved the "nude" look when Venus Williams wore it in the French Open.

**Norse** · 07-13-2010, 12:36 PM

The first time I saw a Footon rider, I did think he was naked! Those things are uuuuuuuuuuuuuugly! The black and white foot designs on them also look like a cow's udder upon quick glance.

I have always like Garmin's kit. I like the clean look of Sky's, although I feel sorry for those guys in their black outfits on hot days. Saxo's is nice and Francaise des Jeux is another fave.

**loopybunny** · 07-13-2010, 01:20 PM

I love argyle so I have to go with Garmin!
