These lads look "big" in those tight shorts. White is not best colour to hide the lunchbox. Did Linford Christie design these shorts ?

The "abs" on the jersey look like they were trying to work from the Columbia Sportswear logo as their foundation. Remember that they are increasingly aiming towards an American audience now. We love tacky ****. Maybe next we'll get some teams with I Heart NY jersey's or riding in Primal Pink Floyd kits.

Simulated pecks and abs on the boys - fair enough. But on the girls?

Kate Bates doesn't look like she has missed too many meals since Beijing.

If you stare at them long enough you'll get accustomed to them and it won't seem so bad. Take about 20 minutes and just stare at them, spend equal time on the jerseys and shorts.

I for one am not looking forward to the rainy days in the Tour. Blurgh....white....what were they thinking? Wasn't it Style Man who said that wearing white won't show your coolness - it'll show your religion??

Sadly only the gormless bloke on the left looks embarassed to be wearing the kit...

You're right.

It does look a bit strange to say the least. But will get used to it.

Their sky blue kit was much better. Now we look like Saulnier Duval with the yellow.

earlier CSC jerseys used to have printed on abs as well... last year they were just more stylized into three lines that go across but if you know how the previous jerseys look you can see they are just stylized abs... Columbia stole the design from CSC.

I have one of those CSC jerseys. It looks a hella lot better than that Columbia crap though,
