About the design

2016 brought a change of main sponsors for the Orica Greenedge team which became Orica Bike exchange. Besides the change of names on the jersey this brought a new variation on the kit. The jersey became entirely blue. The green detailed touches on the collar, sleeve ends and middle of the jersey were kept but were made slightly thinner.

The sponsors are now rendered in white on the blue background as opposed to previous itterations of blue lettering on white background.

The bibshorts are also mostly blue in colour with sponsors rendered also in white. The green bands are also present on the leg ends adding a unifying detail also used in the jersey. The kit manufacturer Craft's logo is on the legs of the bibshorts.

The only colour deviation from the established colour palette is a small amount of red in the Bike Exchange logo. This detail, luckily, sits well against the dark blue background and does not cause colour clashes.

Another strong kit for Orica in 2016 based on the strong dark blue base colour.
