The 2013 Giro d'Italia jerseys, designed by British fashion designer Paul Smith, were presented today in Milano.

I'm diggin' the maglia azzurra and the maglia bianca, but I'm not as sure about the rosa/rossa piping combinations.

The band on the left sleeve, which looks grey from a distance, appears on closer inspection to be striped.

Cool! See more from Paul Smith here.

According to the RCS press release, these are "the iconic Paul Smith stripes." What I love about this bit of fashion flair is that I can't imagine seeing it on the jerseys of any grand tour but the Giro.
