Fashion Alert! New Kit for Cervélo TestTeam

Black is the new black! Cervélo TestTeam has a new kit for the coming year. It will be black. With black. Gerard Vroomen explained that the black kits make the team easy to spot in the bunch. Unlike the hordes of blue kitted teams which all look the same. Bah! Cervélo has retained the Giant é symbol as the team's logo, and in fact, the é appears to have grown larger. Castelli will supply the kits for the 2010 season. Yay for black shorts!

More pics

on the *Lotto site, but none that answer the all-important question: “What color are the shorts?”

This is disquieting.

We need an immediate inquiry.

Your thread has its own entertainment value.

This is the classy one.

Like a little black dress

or not.

B’sides, I didn’t want to get in trouble again.

Black shorts? Check.

That is all.

I mean uh... hasn't that ever occurred to you, man? Sir?

question is, are they going to switch to white for the tdf, like they did this year?

Let's hope not. No one needs to see that.

It didn't sound like it

The Castelli marketing bit was all about how their materials are great for all temperatures and such. But who knows, lol, it’ll give us some suspense.

Did they mention the bit about white shorts being 6% cooler during July?

Or are they saving that for the Tour press conference? God, that would ruin my summer.

I think they paid attention to the white fabric, too.

Don’t remember any transparency, even when GHH won Stage 13 in the rain.

It would be my screen saver.

Lots of talk of transparency

but we never see much of it

by Jens on Dec 7, 2009 5:10 PM EST up reply actions

I saw a transparent black short when I was on a ride this summer

From behind. That which has been seen cannot be unseen.

It didn't kill you

so it must have made you stronger.

Let's think outside the box

White shorts/Black jersey

I think it’s a winner

This, I believe,

is why Swedes are known for their furniture.

When I think 'Sweden'

I think of very, very sexy pliers.

I think the Cervelo white kit

is more “Cow” kit than Milram

Moo

The greater emphasis on red clearly indicates that Cervelo is run by commies!

at least if you’re using Glen Beck logic.

Black top and White Shorts

Wouldn’t that look like the 1977 White Sox? Don’t forget collars and wide lapels.

I like this kit too…easily one of the best out there.

2009:

So the differences are not that big. Slightly smaller é on the sleeves, very slightly bigger é on the body, red accents moved from collar & sleeves to chest.
