Team Jerseys

By Mari Holden at Velo Betty

Every team has a jersey design that is registered at the beginning of the season. That means at every race and in training they wear the same jersey. This design is decided by the team management and sponsors. It is really important because the jersey design is the way that people will recognize the team. It is their style! Sometime teams realize that their design might not be an advantage and change it part way through the season. The Cervelo Test team was wearing an all black jersey for the first part of the year, but made special white kits for the Tour de France. Black looks great but absorbs heat. With how hot it is in France they decided to wear white, which is a much cooler choice. I think they look great!
