Now, there have been some bad kits over the years. This Footon-Servetto (opens in new tab) kit from 2010 for instance, or even Greg Lemond's Z-Tomasso team (opens in new tab) from 1990, but now there is a sure fire winner for the worst kit ever.

Probably not the kind of exposure the team was looking for.
Union Cycliste Internationale president Brian Cookson tweeted on Sunday that they would be looking into the design of the kit after receiving complaints, saying "it is unacceptable by any standard of decency".
