After further review...

I've been pretty critical of Team Slipstreams final team kit for 2008 and how they came off as 'misleading' with regard to the jersey design competition.

At first glance of the new jersey on Frischkorn's blog, I thought the resulting design was worse than the winning design, but after seeing some better photography of the jersey, it would appear that the orange isn't really that ugly "coral" color and there is actually some recognizable argyle (especially on the long sleeve jersey).

The team kits will look pretty sick when placed atop the newly designed Felt's (both road and TT bikes).

Regardless of the kit, I've always supported the Slipstream team, what they stand for and what they are attempting to do and will continue to support their efforts in the future.

What's the point...

...in having an extensive contest to design the next team jersey if they aren't going to use the design of the winner???

Slipstream had hundreds of entries and narrowed it down to 5. Those 5 were then voted on by the public...the result was this design:



But I just saw today on Will Frischkorn's blog that the new jerseys look like this:


What's the friggin' point???
