Best: Bianchi (makes ulrich look like he was riding in the 50's), lampre (pure euro style!), brioches la boulangerie, fassa bortolo,french national champ jerseys, spanish national team (03) and FDJ jersey from 2000 and 2001.
Worst: US Postal (just like the team, boring and efficient, should be given to all accountants who start cycling), phonak (what is that?!)

The Horror. With their demotion to TT2, Domina Vacanze have lost their sense of style. The zebra stripes were the most innovative improvement to cycling apparrel in years. Not only are they highly visible, given all the contrast, but mirror all the attributes of zebra running together in a herd. When the Domina Vacanze herd starts leading Mario Cipollini out on a sprint, you feel like the stampede was about to begin.
I ride in my zebra stripes with pride and the secure knowledge that I am extremely visible on the road. I laugh at the derisive comments that are invariably shouted at me. Best: Domina Vacanze 2002 an 2003. Worst: Telekom - the chartreuse has got to go. |

The all time best kit : easy ! Peugeot-Shell-Michelin (black&white checker board as worn by Tom Simpson, Stephen Roche and Robert Millar) The definitive jersey (if any one knows where I could buy one please give me an address : not available anywhere to my knowledge). Bianchi 2003 : a very close second. Kelme : lovely. Not to be recommended : Phonak: |

And certainly the all time most saavy kit. That white with black and white checkerboard was very specifically designed to stand out on black and white television broadcasts of the day, which were suddenly providing cycling with much larger audiences than newsreel coverage of only the major tours had previously provided. Black and white kit made the Peugot gear graphically vivid in a way that colorful jerseys could not be in black and white and gave them as sponsor much more reach for their investment than they'd have otherwise enjoyed. |

Perhaps someone could add up the results but it seems to be Phonak wins worst jersey and CSC wins best jersey.
Perhaps Tyler left CSC because of this (he is seen sporting a mullet on cycling news). http://www.cyclingnews.com/photos.p...4/phonak/CH5323 |

Ok, not exactly a *team* kit but these are sufficiently amusing that I had to order them for myself:

At last another like minded person! I have the full set now (minus the 3/4 lengths which I really can't justify as I just got the bib longs), and just in time before they changed it to the really boring new one. If I couldn't go with Dom Vac I would hav eto go for CSC too. Here is an interesting one though: http://www.branfordbike.com/smmrwear/big/sw3bigd.html
