The new EF/Nippo kits are…

Fantastic. C’mon, one can’t possibly disagree. (These are the team’s Giro d’Italia kits since they aren’t allowed to wear their all pink.)

I think they look good. Better than their regular jersey. Poc helmets and glasses are still ugly.

Israel Start-Up Nation jersey's are an improvement as well.

Cool to see some different kits throughout the year.

Maybe the best cycling kit ever.

Including the bike.

Fantastic.

Not my cup of tea, although I'll admit that I liked the somewhat similar La Vie Claire Mondrian look back in the day.

Those levelish top tube C'dales do look good to me. I would say definitely one of the best looking current gen road bikes.

The kits are ok, a little "busy" to my eye, but the subtle details on the bikes are really good IMO.

I dig it. Looks like something I would wear (minus all the branding).

I like to hold my judgement until I see new jerseys on riders in the peloton. What may look good as a piece of clothing may not perform as well in the milieu of the swirling pack to let you know what team a rider represents.

Overall OK, but not a fan of black kits in general. But black shorts for sure!

I think it’s great. But their “we’re oh so irreverent“ marketing campaign is kind of cringey.

I love these kits, but I'm thinking they might be perfect peloton camo. Every color worn by other teams in small discontinuous geometric shapes.
