looks absolutely nothing like their kit.

Ok
We apparently define “nothing” in a different way.

I approve
I picked Riccardo Ricco for my 2011 VDS team, and submitted said team well before the submission deadline. I fully understand the error of my ways, and plead with the VDS Gods to allow me to resubmit my team.
very nice
the best of the old slipstream and cervelos in one.
i wonder how many teams are going to be wearing white at the tour though.
"Ants don’t worry, they operate like a fantastic team, they accept obstacles and deal with them in a positive manner, they don’t complain and remain positive. An ant doesn’t work on emotion, is proactive and always chooses the ant role."
I'm lovin' the argyle! Oh, yeah!
According to the Garmin website, the bodypaint shorts are black, with a white band around the bottom.
they're cyclists
it’s just make them look normal

Yea!
And now my arch enemy is easily distinguishable again.

Niiice!
The best looking kit in the peloton, i am seriously considering a purchase
Looks much better, but still don't like the "e" branding on the back.
Spelling “Cervelo” out on the back would be much better imo.
They have done the é branding for years

They have done the "Cervelo" branding for years too.
I would simply choose the better looking option.
How is spelling Cervelo across someone's back better looking?

Well, its my opinion. I don't like the "e" on the back. Doesn't look good to me.
I prefer a spelled out word just under “Garmin” on the back . I understand you prefer the “e” instead. No problem.
You can totally see that from the helicopter shots
as long as you’re a hawk.
Unfortunate
but at least they won’t be confused with Sky from a distance.

It's remarkably similar to the kit design Milsy89
did for us earlier in the year kit – just wish they’d used his colour-scheme!
Milsy's 3rd drawing is beautiful. Would love to see it without the photoshopped PC logos. Sacrilege? Ah, fuck it.

PdC logos are like moobs
The argyle checkerboard dog’s dinner does nothing for me. For some unfathomable reason it reminds me of the BBC Test Card which was seen regularly in the days before the drivel that is daytime TV.
The 2011 Garmin kit is/was classy IMHO but the similarity with Sky’s kit is a big no-no. I’m in favour of the big é on the back – it’s clear, simple and can only mean one thing, which is what branding should be about. Narrow fonts and messy logos miss the point. Radioshack might be a bit of a dirty word to some people but you can’t miss the distinctive branding.
Much better.
Although I wonder if Vaughters is using the “we’ll switch to white cos it’s summer” thing to cover over the fact that the previous kits were a mistake.
I know, I know. It’s not like Vaughters to spin.
Never use a metaphor, simile, or other figure of speech which you are used to seeing in print.
Never use a long word where a short one will do.
If it is possible to cut a word out, always cut it out.
Never use the passive where you can use the active.
Never use a foreign phrase, a scientific word, or a jargon word if you can think of an everyday English equivalent.
Break any of these rules sooner than say anything outright barbarous.
