    1. Top three: 1) AG2R: Stark representation. Proves that a minimalist theme with judicious use of colours is always more outstanding than overly busy kits. 2) Bora: That kit means business. Sharp angles and great use of colours. The designer of that jersey is saying that it's okay to mix creativity with a message and intelligence that indicates Bora can solve all kinds of problems. 3) Grinch Pajamas: Irreverent and fun. Reminds viewers of EF Giro kits. Bad choice of model.

    2. Cofidis , UAE, Trek & Arkea look like a generic Chinese bulk club kit base design, not much going on there beyond cut n pasting logos and far too boring and bland without any imagination whatsoever. Groupama's look like a junior designer was let loose in Word 95 clip art and Wanty is clearly paying homage to 90s geocities homepage about some conspiracy theory somewhere in an Amercian desert. Bora & Jumbo look more cooporate than a briefcase on an aeroplane and Trek only saved by at least being a bicycle company. Movistar's & Astana's is nice and stealthly and modern as is Bahrain, Ineos, EF & Citroen all looking like at least a real designer took care of the designing bits. Favourite is Citroen and Ineos, so maybe the gas guzzling companies do better design or can at least afford it?

    3. I have a pissei without a zipper. Best shirt I have ever had. (Although it does not look nice.) But – pea-say. Nothing to do with a toilette break. I liked the old Cannondale, or the old SunWeb, or the old Peugeot.

    4. For 2024 Bora, EF, Astana, and JV keep their colors; all the other teams draw one color from a chapeau and must use that color as the primary color for the kit. Hip, hip, hooray – in 2024 we can easily distinguish teams in the peloton!

    5. Movistar will be very recognizable from an over head view, with that big M on it, and the Cofidis kits are mad sharp and clean, but Trek has screwed the back up so bad, it's just awful, I have to give that mess of a jersey a thumbs down..👎🏽

    6. Pissei was started by Andrea Tafi. They made Richie Porte's amateur Italian team kit. I have 4 sets at home, interested?

    7. I still like on the BORA kit, that it has this red stripe around the belt. Therefore, it is always easy to recognize a BORA rider, even though with B&B Hotels in the race or something with similar green.

    8. a lot of these are still stuck in pre 2k where they just put logos on a shirt with no regards for composition what so ever biggest offenders are BH, IM, soudal the rest have some real boring ones like MS, Treck, UAE just take a hint from AG2R, Arkea, sky or EF keep it simple and clean but also have a recognizable component

    9. The "M" logo on the Movistar jersey has always been so sharp. Ineos is a beauty. The EF socks are downright goofy. Those AG2R Citroën brown shorts have always looked so nasty – they need to go – Ben deserves better.

    10. I like to call EF's kit this year "we're going to match every pink accessory on the market today." Now if only we could get a "shades of blaze chartreuse" for all the hi-viz gear too
