Causing a bit of a stir, apparently.

That is an unfortunate design!! I am surprised no one noticed that at the time they were looking at ideas and I can't see why they would even have that section in that color in there in the first place!!

Why are Colombia's kits so red? Surely Yellow/Blue?

Road racing teams have there kit designed by the sponsors. e.g Sky design the British cycling teams kit thats why its black instead of red, white and blue.

Load of fuss about bugger all if you ask me. Female track and field athletes wear far less and far more revealing clobber - as do the beach volleyball girls. Not a word of complaint about those.

Mirror on-line picture I saw yesterday had a black line across the foam saddle padding - even more silly.

Popped in to look around. Haha the Columbian women's kit. Who the **** designed that and what idiot accepted it!

RE: Columbian Women's Cycling Kit Causes A Stir - spireitematt - 17-09-2014

You could say that that design is very disrespectful to women and I believe its a lack of serious sponsorship. I'm very surprised that they agreed to model it and wear it.

RE: Columbian Women's Cycling Kit Causes A Stir - theo_luddite - 19-09-2014

Apparently is was designed by one of the team, the so called flesh colour is the colour of their main sponsor, (some food company) and they've been wearing it all year. Some lazy journo makes a big deal out of it on a slow news day. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
