They look like the New Zealand National Team now.
But really, it's really lazy and bland. That's kind of how Trek's graphic design is in general though.

Could be a lot worse. So, from a relativistic standpoint I have to say it falls into the "little ventured, little gained" category...

i feel like it got worse from last year's kit, at least that had color... (please, no one tell me that black and white are colors)

OTOH, if Trek's sponsorship is just a placeholder, waiting for some other deep-pockets to come along, maybe they didn't want to make a big impression?

Is every team going to black, blue and white this year? I miss Saeco red.

Two color print= lower mfg cost= improved sales margin of replica kits for Trek fanboys at Trek stores

I'm curious what the rest of the guys will be using, kit and component wise.

The development jersey has Bontrager on the left and the component sponsor on the right. The new jersey has Bontrager on the right and the component manufacturer on the left. This key difference took a lot of work, countless meetings, and the keen incite of a top decision maker.

If you're going to wear pinstripes, at least coordinate the rest of the outfit....

SwintonBowie is totally boss. The new Trek kit is a misbegotten, random mix of ugly, cliched, and lame.

At least the Footon-Servetto kit, terrible though it was, had some conceptual integrity to the design.

If it had a pink stripe on the sleeve and a the right logo you guys would be fighting for them to take your money.
