We’re assuming Australia’s kit looks more green and gold than blue and gold in the flesh.

Kudos to Iris Slappendel for managing to combine her professional racing for United Healthcare with being able to design a kit that gets Dutch orange working with the country’s red, white, and blue flag.

Without wishing to disrespect the jerseys (or Taylor Phinney’s tache) our favourite part of Team USA’s kit are those retro black shorts.
