The 2023 road season is almost upon and we’re starting to see some of the new colours that will make up the peloton’s pallette next season.
With that, we’re launching the Cyclingnews guide to 2023 team kits, where you’ll be able to find all the designs across the men’s and women’s pelotons in one handy place. We will update this page with every new reveal and every new kit that emerges
A few – we’re looking at you EF Education-EasyPost, will likely have to wait until the new year, but the next two weeks, which is prime pre-season training camp time, should see an influx of 2023 kits.
We expect some to remain the same, some will feature only subtle developments (UAE Team Emirates, Trek-Segafredo and Bahrain Victorious), but there’ll be some bold new stuff to marvel at, too, including a big revamp at Groupama-FDJ that has dropped already.
Have a scroll through the kits and we’ll keep this page updated right through to the start of the season.
Bahrain Victorious

This isn’t much of a departure for Bahrain Victorious, but it does seem like an upgrade. The bright orange and red colour scheme of 2022 is retained but in a wholly bolder arrangement.
For starters, there’s more black, with a swathe across the chest and more at the bottom of the jersey. The diamond patterning is also more pronounced and stands out more. There’s even some lined golden detailing on the front and rear.
Most importantly, the electric blue trim on the sleeves is still there.

Who saw this coming? FDJ have always been white, blue, and red – and predominantly white. 2014’s royal blue number was the only real exception to that rule.
Some wondered if they might go green, given the branding of title sponsor Groupama, but no, they’ve gone navy.
The royal blue does get a good look-in, with three separate asymmetric panels on the front and rear of the jersey, plus detailing on the sleeve, trim, and collar. And the sponsor names and logos still pop out in white with flashes of red.
In fact, the whole thing is tied together by the vertical stripes of white and red running up the zip line.
