Great. Just what the friggin' ProTour Peloton needs - another blue jersey. Quick.Step, Disco, Gerolsteiner, Bouygues Telecom, Liberty Seguros, and now Milram. Not to mention that Mr. Bookmaker, Skil-Moser and a host of other Continental Euro squads are blue as well. if this keeps up, Europe is going to be overrun by out-of-work chopper pilots, having been made utterly worthless for cycling coverage by the unchecked proliferation of blue ProTour kits.
One of the nice things about Worlds has been that most countries have pretty unique kits. Only a few squads (Czech Republic, France) appear significantly similar.
They're blue, but there's a lot of colour variation in the peloton... I may be colour blind, but to me the Liberty Seguros jerseys look dark blue, and these Milram jerseys are a very light blue.
Seems OK as long as the car drivers at the rear of the peloton can tell them apart for handing off drinks.

Honestly, Santini wanted to spice up Milram a bit but being a German company the sponsors would only agree to the white stripe down the front. I tend to agree, these are dull but remember if it was up to Santini they'd have a little more color.
For 2006 Lampre finally ditched Canondale (or vice versa?) and they chose Santini to design their jerseys. Santini tried to get Lampre to ditch the hot pink but the managment insisted and the enclosed is the 2006 design.
