About the Design

Bahrain Merida is a new team established for the 2017 season.

The red, 'Bahrani red', blue representing the sea and gold representing the 'Royal Gold' colours represent Bahrain. The hint of green in the thin line represents Merida. This colour palette provides abundant options and variations for kit designs.

Bahrain Merida have produced a large amount of outwear and casual wear which adeptly carries the colour palette and design through each item of kit.

This first iteration of the Bahrain Merida kit looks good and here at Road Bike Kit we look forward to seeing where they go with it in the 2018 season.
