A major faux pas?

In my mind, yes, poor taste. Maybe things are different in Columbia, tho. Attention getting, just not in a positive way.

FLvector 09-14-14 02:06 PM

I agree. A bit over the top, or I mean the bottom. I wonder what the back looks like?

Nice complement to the Polish team pic.

I can't get past all the mis-matched socks and footwear. ;)

FLvector 09-14-14 02:43 PM

Colombian, not Columbian.

I know, right? You'd think with all the rest of the kit matching, the socks and shoes would be too.

FLvector 09-14-14 03:57 PM

They don't have their cycling shoes on for the pic.

It looks less wrong up close:

I'm still making up my mind on this. More pictures please.

krobinson103 09-16-14 01:26 AM

Close up thats one ugly color.

+1 They seem to be enjoying it, so good for them. At least the chamois prevents the camel toe.

Apparently it's gold that just looks more flesh toned in pictures.

AndyK 09-16-14 07:50 AM

That's their chamois in the front - making it look like something else!

i like yours sleeves, they are really.... Big.

Just people with filthy minds thinking filthy things...

Me included. When I first viewed the pic yesterday on another sight, it actually looked like they were trying to show "bush" as it were. The second picture in this thread helps make sense of it all.

Not the best looking kit.

If I had a meme of an entire auditorium face-palm it still wouldn't be enough.

Quite frankly that rear fender with the expanded metal is pretty shill.

dralways 09-16-14 09:20 AM

I, um, quite like it... a lot.

I mean extremely distasteful and borderline offensive!

robbyville 09-16-14 09:28 AM

I think the second pic makes it look almost like Suede. I don't mind them at all frankly, but definitely can understand the controversy when viewing pics from further away

Mark Stone 09-16-14 10:19 AM

Hi everyone - Please don't post pictures detailing the "privates" of guys or gals, even if covered. Many find it offensive, and children may be in the forums. We have deleted the same picture numerous times. Thanks! :)

linnefaulk 09-16-14 11:20 AM

It only looks like skin on the blond. The rest are too tan for that color.

FLvector 09-16-14 11:21 AM

^^ Thank you. I was hoping we weren't going to see that picture again.

If someone wants to hunt it down for their own amusement (though as noted, it's borderline NSFW), you can by doing a google image search for "non-black bike shorts" and look for the pic of guys wearing red tights.

While it's also amusing, I've seen people try to claim that it's "only" because it's women that they made a poor color choice - it's been done before, with even more disturbing results, in male racing, lol.
