release by Team Sky
November 04, 2016 – Team Sky have unveiled the new kit they will wear from next season. It is made by Italian manufacturer Castelli, who have replaced Rapha as the team’s clothing supplier.The new design contains a series of lines representing Team Sky’s triumphs in their seven years of existence so far.
The long lines mark their four Tour de France wins, while the medium lines symbolise successes in stage races and the shorter lines represent one-day and stage victories.
Wins in UCI WorldTour races are in blue and other races are in white, while the gaps between the lines represent future successes. Team Sky principal Sir Dave Brailsford said: “We’re really excited to be able to announce this partnership between Team Sky and Castelli.
“They will be more than a kit supplier; they will be an innovation partner. We will continue to push hard to make sure our riders have the best clothing and equipment.
“We spent a lot of time thinking about our new kit and what we wanted it to represent visually. We wanted to find a way of celebrating the success we have had as a team, but also to make sure we keep our mind firmly on the future.”
Although their clothing supplier has changed, Team Sky will continue to ride Pinarello bikes next year.
