About the design

The Argos Shimano kit is basically a plain white kit. Both the jersey and the bibshorts are white. Colour is brought into the kit via blue bands around the sleeves and legs of the bibshorts. The Argos logo in the middle of the chest and on the shoulders has a red border. Shimano is written in white on a blue background but that is really where the deviation from white ends. The other main sponsor logos are rendered on the upper chest and the back of the jersey and bibshorts.

This kit has very minimal design with more logo placement and colour bands to lift the white canvas. The 1t4i logo is rendered in white at the bottom of the jeresy but is placed on a light green triangular detail so it can be seen on the white background.

This kit, although minimal, does stand out given that it is white colour based and as a saving grace for the riders it is probably much better in the European summer sun.
