Photos of the kits would be helpful.
Maybe the insta posts aren't loading for you?
Definitively Mondraker for me. Nice shade of blue, clean, and business-like. Some of these are giving me big-time Thor cat gear vibes, lol.
That pink stuff is hideous!
neko is still sponsored by oskar blues?
Fairplay to the canyon boys for rocking pink kit, just so they steal Tahnees spare speedsuits for race day!
Frameworks boys are going to need to size down 2-3 sizes to be competitive...
Should have a best and worst kit.
Santa Cruz have, for the most part, been pretty bad for the past two seasons. The large last name printed down the leg 👎🏾.
this years aren’t looking too great.
Ooohh, the obligitory fresh kit/Vital Raw who the F is this riding? Giving the YT designer a head nod on this one,
it's one of them ugly kit years again.
He was sponsored by new grounds alcoholic coffee for a few years before returning to Oscar blues
Reese for sure
Having watched a few raws, Loic and Oisin are so easy to recognize. 2 colours and big shapes works for me.
Lotus sponsor for Reeco makes his kit all the sicker 💸
I think we are at peak awful kits? lol....so much rough looking stuff. That being said-the FOXhead kits on Frameworks are hella fire and glad it won the polling. Hey Fox Head, was that a 'athlete' inspired design or something available in line to public? looks great.
Madison Saracen looks like it fragged Easter. https://www.saracen.co.uk/pages/team
To me, it looks worse each year. And one thing that I find most boring is the oversimplifying of word marks to fonts that look like they are in the Helvetica family. Like the dull Fox or some of the newer 100%. When will the graphic designers stop this stupid trend? Also: the Fox Head logo what we knew was one of the best. They had to bring in their ugly ass retro one from the 80's, for some reason, and it looks like an image with wrong proportions. Ugh!
BTW, Sam and Greg looked best with D2's on their heads, although that ship has sailed.
I'd be curious what gear/helmets/goggles the athletes would rock, if they had no sponsor obligations. Maybe somebody can make a secret poll, wink-wink?!

If you go by what many of the pros wear at the bike park...hoodies, tees, and a black race pant with black logos!
...a.k.a. Any Photographer's Wet Dream :D
