With the new year and winter training camps on the horizon, pro cycling teams are rushing to share their new kits ahead of the WorldTour’s restart at the Santos Tour Down Under in mid-January.

The latest to showcase their new colours are Australian teams Jayco-AlUla and Liv-AlUla-Jayco who have both undergone a drastic change under the creative direction of Australian clothing brand Maap, the team’s new technical supplier. The purple-coloured jersey is inspired by the shades of Saudi night skies and the Outback’s Southern Lights as well as sand patterns and motion blur photography.

This kit unveiling kick starts a multi-year partnership between Maap and GreenEdge’s WorldTour teams from 2025 onwards. The Melbourne-based atelier hopes this re-design signifies a ‘reset’ for the Australian team as they try to forge an ‘iconic identity’ for the squads going forwards.
