I'm just sayin'
I don't normally critique professional cycling teams. Well maybe I do, but I usually don't give a rip about what they are wearing as far as riding uniforms go. But... ... In watching that little race in Cali-forn-ia (that the 'Flyers were not invited to race in), I kept seeing, what I thought were, local amatures mixing it up with the pros, even attacking the field. Then I would hear from Philliggot (you have to say his name as one word) or one of the other guys that it was so and so from BMC.
Oh, that's right. It's a pros only field. Team BMC. What an amature looking uniform. Seriously. It looks like something I could order out of nashbar and take to a silkscreener to get the logo put on. And there's nothing wrong with that... if you're an amature like me. It's not even that it looks retro, classic or minimalistic. It just looks like it's cheap. It really looks like something I would wear on a training ride. And I don't really care what I wear when I ride.

It looks especially bad from the television camera perspectives. I don't know, maybe they should hire a designer that know what they are doing to design a jersey for them.
