About the Design

The 2014 iteration of the Tinkoff Saxo kit kept the yellow and blue colour palette. The upper part of the jersey was yellow while the bottom half was blue. Tinkoff Credit Systems was rendered accross the chest in black while the Saxo Bank logo was below. The Saxo name was also rendered on the shoulder and side of the jersey. This would be replaced in later years with the Tinkoff name.

This year the team also introduced a camouflage training kit which was a darker green and lighter green colour palette accentuated with areas of solid darker green. The logos were replicated over the solid darker green panel to allow them to still be seen.

For the 2014 Tour de France a Fluro version of the kit design was produced. This helped distinguish the team kit from the yellow jersey of the race leader.

If you like this design or hate it, you cant argue that this kit didnt make the pro peloton more interesting. In professional football/soccer they have multiple kits and bringing this aspect to cycling can only be good for the business of cycling.
