2011 Team Jerseys

Looks like we're in for a bit of a white/black/blue peloton this year - Sky, Garmin, Leopard, spot the difference.  You'd think that they would want to pick a design that was going to stand out.

I though that for the TdF at least they had to submit their colours so that they weren't too similar.
I think you'll find it's a bit more complicated than that.

The UCI approve the designs for all the year. Teams can change on (I think) 1 occasion by prior agreement. Teams in the Tour have changed jerseys due to either a significant conflict with the Maillot Jaune (ONCE changed from yellow to pink) or if the sponsor is not allowed to advertise in France - e.g. Boule D'Or which I think were fags.

Other than that the UCI take a dim view of changed kit and fine/suspend. Bruneel has been suspended for changing his team's jerseys on last year's Tour. Cipollini regularly paid hefty fines for non-approved kit (well, his team did I guess).

As did Rock Racing for their change fro "London Rocks" to "Britain Rocks" strips during the ToB

Technically Bruyneel was suspended for calling the Comissaires a bunch of pompous stuffed shirts (or similar) in a TV interview. The team were fined, not suspended, for the 28 Jersey.
