Me, too! They are way too close.

I like Saxo Bank the best.

I vote for the nudie ones.

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.

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.

I love argyle so I have to go with Garmin!

**Zen** · 07-13-2010, 01:33 PM

Are you sure it's just the argyle?

Whatever could you possibly be talking about??

Am I that transparent? Some of the men wearing said argyle are quite easy on the eyes.

And that picture is just fantastic.

If nothing else, Sky's kits are the coolest - look at them carefully - what do you notice most? No ads, no multiple sponsors - just Sky. Few teams have the money to only have one sponsor.

After Sky - Saxo Bank - love their riders as well.

Actually, they have 3 sponsors on their kit: Sky, Adidas, and Pinarello.

BMC only has 2: BMC and Hincapie Sportswear.

Everyone else has a babillion.

I don't mind the sponsor names so much, as long as they are somewhat seamless. I've seen some kits that just look like they haphazzardly plastered the kit with the names. Crazy.

I quite like BMC's. They have a bit of a pixelated like design to them instead of just being completely plain.

Agree with you on Big George's kit. Makes me feel patriotic. I prefered the original white shorts/bibs though over the blue ones with the stars on the crotch.

What is it with the canary yellow shoes? I want to say that it is Cavindish who wears them but that is probably wrong. It does make it easy to pick out that particular rider, which is probably the purpose, but I remember the shoes better than his name or team. I can't remember who wears them but it is one of the current leaders.

I did have to giggle the first time I saw the neekkid Footon kit...
