Worst club kit ?

The BBC have censored the photo!http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/cycling/29203890

Well there's nothing to see, but that's not what it looks like!

That has replaced everyone's favourite mullet wearing Virenque loving juicer in my all time worst kit list

FFS, that makes it look worse!

Clearly something was lost in translation between the blueprint and the kit being made but Cookson's reaction is excessive and stupid. It doesn't take much research to discover that this isn't actually a case of a man deliberately trying to humiliate some women cyclists. Cookson should have checked his facts before putting his foot in his mouth. It's unfortunate, sure, but there are plenty of more genuinely offensive kits out there (the Castorama one being a good example).

I think Cookson should have kept schtum.
I always think that the stinky-soxoff kit shorts make the rider look like he's just wet himself.

“I think it’s sad that it takes something like this for cycling, and women’s cycling in particular, to get this much press.”

Yes, one of the blogs I found when I was looking to show this to my wife was talking about the fact that in a week when at least one country failed to fill its womens team for the World Championships this was the major news by a factor of over 10:1 (and really this non-news is more about a bad photograph than the kit which has been in use for 8 months now.).

Trawling around the web their are some hilarious comments, on one site the comments suggest the ladies are on some East German medication, someone then points out (correctly) it could be the pad that people are looking at to which someone asks are such things allowed by cycling organisations! A common point made in support of the kit is that the ladies skin colour is nothing like the gold of the kit and if gold is unacceptable wher does that leave white.
