Since most of the cycling kits are awful, some of them were particularly atrocious. Here are the top ten twelve worst cycling jerseys from the pro peleton over the years.

10 worst jerseys in cycling history

Here re the top 10 worst jerseys in cycling history, in reverse order:

#10 High Road 2008

With its weird, childish font and colors, my 10th place prize goes to High Road 2008 jersey. +Bonus points for André Greipel’s helmet 🙂

#9 CSF Group-Navigare 2008

Colors, fonts, design… Awful, awful, awful… CSF Group-Navigare’s 2008 kit takes 9th place. Their Colnago’s are cool, though.

#7 Amore&Vita 2011

The Amore&Vita 2011 team jersey looks like 1990’s web site designs to me. What do you think?

Only Castorama could do better than Castorama. They did a great job in 1994, again.

UPDATE 2014-09-17: Colombian Women’s Cycling Team 2014 #-1

Well… I think you know the jersey – I am displaying it here cropped because I don’t want to search engines or advertisers give me a penalty.

In fact… It’s OK to me. Women have their right to wear whatever they want. There’s no need to shame women’s bodies. I think people are overreacting the kit. I heard that one of the women on the team designed it.

I am including the kit to this list just because to express my opinions about it.

UCI head Brian Cookson tweeted about the kit and said “To the many who have raised the issue of a certain women’s team kit, we are on the case. It is unacceptable by any standard of decency.”, but I totally agree with the Guardian article – The UCI have better things to worry about than ‘unacceptable’ cycling kits.

Update: A Colombian women’s cycling team defend their choice of uniform
