This kit will give the team a new look for the new season.

27 November, 2017 (Fonzaso, Italy) – After celebrating the most successful season in the team’s history Team Sky today unveiled its new kit for the 2018 season. The kit will give the team a new look for the new season. However, the kit also retains many of the features that have made Team Sky riders so recognisable in the peloton. “We really wanted to keep the victory lines which have become part of the team visual language, but we wanted to represent them in a new way.” The victory lines from last year are still represented on the kit. The 244 victories from 2016 and prior are on the back of the jersey, while the 2017 victories including the historic Tour-Vuelta double are brought in a subtle way to the front of the jersey. But overall the kit is simplified compared to the 2017 kit by moving victory lines from the shorts, socks, mitts and cap onto the back of the jersey. It’s similar to the Team Sky approach to 2018 with renewed clarity of purpose to winning the biggest races while developing the sport’s future talent. Team Sky is special in its approach to everything about the team. The kit design ...

In winning, Team Sky captain Chris Froome becomes the first rider who won  the Vuelta-Tour double since 1978, and only the third ever after Jacques Anquetil (1963) and Bernard Hinault (1978) to win the French and Spanish Grand Tours in the same year. The Team Sky leader has now won five Grand Tours within the last five years.

Chris Froome wrote himself further into the cycling history books after securing a fourth Tour de France victory in Paris. The Team Sky rider was flanked by his team-mates as he crossed the line on the Champs-Elysees, and claimed the famed maillot jaune by an eventual winning margin of 54 seconds. Froome’s third victory in a row, and a fifth in eight years for Team Sky, came after three hard weeks of racing, with the team holding the race lead for 19 of the race’s 21 stages.

The Climber’s Jersey and Inferno Bibshort are designed for racing in the mountains or in hot weather. We didn’t want to completely ignore aerodynamics, so we used patterning similar to our Aero Race 5.1 Jersey, which we knew was fast. The resulting jersey is extremely cool and light and instantly became a favorite with our pro riders. The Inferno, our hot-weather short, features a highly breathable and light fabric on the sides and back of the legs, plus the airy GiroAir leg band. The Team Sky riders are wearing this in all conditions because it also happens to fit extremely well and is one of the most comfortable shorts they’ve ever worn.
