    Which team at the TdF has your favorite kit?

    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.

    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.

    '85 Eddy Merckx Professional, Selle An Atomica

    '10 Soma Double Cross DC, Selle An Atomica

    I like the Cervelo kit -- but the ones with more black. They are wearing a white/gray version of it in the Tour.
