So much blue and green this year. I guess my favorite would probably be Lotto. I liked them better with the old shorts though. Worst jersey would be Sky. Fishnet wasn't cool in the 1970's, and still isn't.
You must have forgotten about the Footon flesh colored jersey debacle of 2010. Absolutely the worst in the history of the Le Tour.

Would you say it is more or less an even spread of 'preference' of jerseys currently on offer.
Amazing that as individuals, we all have different preferences, but somehow if an item is not too far out from mainstream, it has a good chance of being evenly appreciated by users. Normal distribution that is.
I don't think any of the jerseys in this year's TdF 'are' too 'far out'. Well if you quote Sky using 'fishnets', then they do have a replica jersey?
the Cannondale and Euskatel colors are bold and immediately identifiable (well, Lampre too, but gag...). all the shades of blue just kind of get jumbled together. meh...
the only one that I would actually wear tho is Europcar. it just appeals to my eye.
the Argo-Shimano kit is unique in that it's both boring and nasty...those white shorts are a crime against nature.
Of course this is all subjective, but imo, not having a professional team kit that stands out from the rest is a huge mistake from a marketing standpoint.
The whole point is to be seen, much a car in NASCAR. Exhibit A: Cannondale
The sea of color ripping thru the countryside of France is what makes the tour too.
The yellow Mavic shoes have been a genius marketing move btw...well maybe that was destined to happen considering yellow is their color, but you know what I mean..
AG2R always gets me...so odd....looks like their shorts are worn out and sun faded. Terrible. Shimano lacks any creativity whatsoever.
