You and I both. Greenedge looks like an awesome team for this coming year. I was extremely happy that they had received a WorldTour license. I'm a big fan of Robbie McEwen and Meyer brothers.

Lotto kit is great, FDJ is very classy but Cofidis is amazingly futuristic and clean!

The new Saxo Bank kit looks good.

I like it too, but I can't quite get over that silly bird. Other than that, quite nice.

Garmin-Barracuda

Kind of Blued

Lampre, Astana, AG2R, Movistar, and BMC look unchanged.

Katusha is MORE RED, and there's also a sideshot of Simon Gerrans in his GreenEdge kit in here:

The red looks terrible with the Leopard shade of blue methinks:

And somebody PLEASE tell me these are helmet covers or something:

The new Radioshack kit is such a disappointment

I like the Garmin kit, but the Barracuda logo looks like it was thrown on at the last minute. It looks better in that LeMevel video without that logo. Saxo Bank is my favorite so far. I didn't initially like the Omega Pharma-Quick Step kit, but it's growing on me and it looks better on the bike than it does in pictures where guys are standing around.

RadioShack is by far the worst. Way too much Leopard influence on that one and the national champ jerseys look terrible. Lotto-Belisol is 2nd worse, though I haven't seen much of it on the bike. The jersey and the shorts just don't seem to match.

^^ Well...of course it still looks like a Leopard kit. It's still a Leopard team, based in Luxembourg.

Rabobank is still one of my favourite desigsn of the big teams. BMC is nice too.

SaxoBank bird is not sexy. Looks like it's saying WTF?
