There is no shortage of new, flashy, and experimental kits on display at each World Cup. Our B Practice Podcast crew is always debating who has the sickest get-up each weekend, so we figured we'd see what everyone else has to say. Here are our top picks from Leogang. Let us know who you think has the best kit and why, or leave a comment if you think we left out someone. 

Marine Cabirou

 

RockShox Trek Race Team

 

 Loic Bruni 

 

IC Studio Commencal Team

 

Laurie Greenland

 

Norco Factory Racing

 

Join the UNION 

 

Canyon CCLCTV

 

Nina Hoffmann

 

Honorable mention - Alex Wayman (because you can't go wrong with an all-black kit and sick whips in practice)

Not even going to lie, the clip of Alex Wayman in the RAW got me so hyped that I had to throw his name in the hat.

I think it's one of the Canyon teams that has " R I D E " pasted over their butts and I would like to vote that as the worst kit (or best... hard to say)

Ride butt ain’t as bad as the tld/canyon diaper kit.

 

some teams look pretty power ranger with the  multiple colors of the same pattern.  I hope someone goes all out on the theme for chuckles.  

 

I personally don’t think trying to emphasize the teams so much is the right direction.  End of the day it’s an individual sport.  And yes an individual’s sponsors is a part of the story but it’s more a job for marketing departments not the race presenter to tell that story.

I vote that the poo brown/white of the 100% Commencal team is one of the worst.  Who thought diarrhoea was a good colour choice?

This reminds me of high school summers at Myrtle Beach with shorts saying "Babe" or something provocative. Whoever thought posting "RIDE" on someone's rear is either a comedian or taking their job too serious

If Myriam Nicole had been racing I would have voted for her and whatever she was wearing.

1000%. I don't know where this trend started (Moto?) but it takes me a solid five minutes of squinting every weekend to figure out who's who. Same with basketball, too. They have a new jersey every game and most of the time it has nothing to do with their actual team colors. Up is down. Black is white. Cats and dogs living together. Mass hysteria.

I don't mind the jersey changing so much as when it's a team kit and they have the same Helmet, Jersey, Pants and bike.
