The British jerseys have changed the past few years, and many are calling for a redo of the outfit to some of their previous iterations. Has it got a bit boring?

Canada is rocking its baby blue kit, and most people agree it’s a good thing our nation returned to its roots, style-wise.

The unexpected reason that Canada’s national team kits are blue
The Italians are smoking the team pursuit qualifiers, but also rocking the classic solid blue skinsuit which can never go out of style. Ever wondered why the squadra azzurri is blue? It goes back to 1366, when Conte Verde displayed a large blue flag in tribute to the Madonna on his flagship, while on a crusade organized by Pope Urbano V.

The same goes for the Dutch, who always look sharp in their orange outfits. Incidentally, if you didn’t know why their jerseys are orange, as opposed to something resembling their flag, it has to do with the Dutch Royal Family. William of Orange is the founding father of the Netherlands.
No matter what country you’re from and what jersey you wear, it’s pretty certain this one is every rider’s favourite jersey to wear.
