Me like. Different but same but different. Very Lampre colors. Big plus.

It's like Rapha and/or EF-Education First Pro Cycling p/b Cannondale borrowed MAAP's graphic designers.

It's better than, say, Trek-Segafredo Men's kits and every kit with X solid color fading to black at the waist. Still not great.

I wouldn't wear the EF kit but for a pro team, it's one of the best IMO, one of the easiest to spot in a peloton that's filled with similar bland designs and common color combos that others share with various teams.

It looks like an advertisement for a home pregnancy test.

Ha! New one's got better packaging, old one probably better barbeque.

The think reference point for better jersey designs and being simple but distinguishable should be the 90's.

7-Eleven, Motorola, Toshiba, Z, Mapei, Lampre, Once, Carrera...etc

What will his role be? Ineos is a GC focused team.

Nothing wrong with having Dennis as super domestique on the flats...akin to Martin at Jumbo or helping in TTT / winning a few ITTs on the way. Also nothing wrong with having INEOS on the WC jersey...

They probably got him at a bargain price, too.
