About the design

The colour palette for Omega Pharma Quick Step 2013 kit was white, 'ice' blue and black. These colours blended well together especially the ice blue which really stood out on the black background.

The jersey had a large white panel on the main body of the jersey with black shoulders and white bands around the ends of the sleeves. A repeating dotted pattern was used on the shoulders which faded to solid ice blue towards and around the collar area. This dotted ice blue and black fade was also used on the side panels of the jersey. The ice blue detailing was continued on the bibshorts with ice blue bands around the ends of the legs and ice blue shapes that stretched around the side and rear of the shorts.

The Omega Pharma and Quick step logos were in the middle of the jersey's front and back while the Specialized logo, in red, the vermarc logo and the UCI logo, rendered in colours were on the upper chest section. The specialized red logo was also placed on the back pocket. The Quick Step and Omega Pharma names were white on black on the sides of the bibshorts with other logos on the rear of the shorts.

The Quick Step name was duplicated on the ice blue and black dotted sided panel in black which made it stand out against the chosen shade of blue. This design did a good job of including all sponsors logos and team colours without making the kit look overly 'crowded' and 'busy'. A big factor to this was the large white panel on the main body of the jersey.

A good strong branded kit with a good colour palette.
