Ahhh...! Upon re-inspection, after looking at the white "v" shaped lines on the legs, I was afraid that might have been the issue. All those times my boss has called me an idiot, I just thought he was kidding, guess he was right

Kind of afraid to see what the backside (pun) looks like.

yup. tastelessy unclassy.

As a rider you'd think they'd just say no.

In this case, I think it's warranted.

I don't think cycling needs its president pandering to the twitterati by making up rules as he goes on kit design.

Word is that what looks like flesh color in the picture is actually more of a gold color when viewed in real life.

The kit so offended the sensibilities of the BBC that it used a black bar.

I did not alter this photo.

AS usual, W.T.F.kits is killing it. This is my favorite new tumblr, and I don't have any favorites... or a tumblr:

Naked gold bands, donuts for days … Quite the kit weekend that makes me wonder what’s going in.

Check the whole timeline for the Polish National Kielbasa team and more:

Worse than the ugly T-shirt awards we gave shamelessly to running road race promoters during the running boom of the 70s and 80s.

the kit designer should be force to wear the kit and have his or her photo plastered everywhere... im assuming those girls didn't design it themselves (very unlikely they did)

I agree, he needs to stay out of it.

Never assume. From the BBC article:
Quote:
However, reports in Colombia have suggested the kit was designed by one of the female riders, approved by her team-mates and has been worn for several months. "One of the riders appears to have designed it without the intent on making it look as though they were partially nude," Colombian cycling journalist Klaus Bellon told BBC World Service.
