Etixx – Quick-Step today unveiled the jersey that will be worn by their squad in 2015.
While the jersey continues the basic theme of blue, black and white, there have been some sponsor changes that needed to be incorporated into the new design from clothing partner Vermarc.
Etixx replaces Omega Pharma as the title sponsor on the center chest of the jersey, and on the right sleeve of the team’s jersey, instead of Janom, the GreenWay logo will be displayed representing the GreenWay project by Janom sr.o.— a new era in electro-mobility for commercial purposes.
Also new to the sponsors present on the 2015 kits is Klein Constantia, on the upper left chest. Dating back to 1685, Klein Constantia has been described as one of the world’s most beautiful wine estates. Located in Constantia Valley near Cape Town it is set on the foothills of the Constantiaberg mountains, Klein Constantia is custodian to some of the most historic vineyards in South Africa.
The new Etixx – Quick-Step outfit was worn for the first time by Mark Cavendish and Iljo Keisse during the recent Six Day of Gent.
“I really like the new jersey, “ Etixx – Quick-Step rider Iljo Keisse said. “It’s fresh, with a really nice balance between the black and the blue colors that represent our team. I had the chance to wear it for a photo shoot and it looks really nice. As it is every year with our outfits by Vermarc, the material has a great combination of comfort and performance. I think this jersey will look sharp in the peloton next year.”
“It’s like the Classic two-toned kit of the last season,” Etixx – Quick-Step rider Mark Cavendish said. “The sponsors are really well accommodated with this design. Whatever the color, I am proud to put on the colors of Etixx – Quick-Step anyway. But I believe this jersey will be nice to ride in. The jersey is evolving in good ways every year, just as we are as a team.”
