.. eww is the only thing which jumps to my mind... what a horrible design.

I actually don't dislike it. The yellow stripe on the sleeve is understandable though it doesn't look quite right, the héxagone on the back works well for me (though haters of the 2012 Olympics logo might get unwelcome flashbacks). But it's academic because I'm not going to pay Rapha prices for anything!

 

[Mr Haematocrit]

The front of it is understandable but the back is nasty

 

[PaulBrdmn]

The way I read it is that hexagon design is on the front of a t-shirt and not on the rear of the jersey. I would guess the rear of the jersey would have a yellow stripe down the centre.

I actually quite like the yellow stripe on the jersey, although I won't be buying it myself.

That's what I thought, although I thought it was an outline of France rather than a hexagon.

 

[PaulBrdmn]

Well yes, that too... France is known as the hexagon so I took that bit for granted!

Key features:

Are sponsor logos a key feature?

You could be right book me a seat on Oprah if I need to confess in greater detail.

Still looks nasty though.. lol

I actually don't thinks it's too bad, not for me as of yet I've never worn a team jersey but I like the style, very simple design...

Yes I like this too, but also think its too pricey for me! Would prefer in long sleeve though. FYI, if you like Rapha and want a cheaper alternative I highly recommend Torm. they don't market or photograph their product anywhere near as well as Rapha and the designs are a little less detailed, but the quality is every inch a match for Rapha (I'd say the pockets are much better with Torm). I have a grey T5 and its brilliant

Do people really pay that much for a cycling jersey ?
