Yeah, going with C too.  Also, great recent posts (comment way too less on this great story)

Tough one between C and A.
C is the best design but I like the colors of A.
Still... C |

C because the Cancer logos are more visible. A, as some have said, would be a good template for NC's. Personally i've never been a big fan of that Bianchi green color, makes me think of old/bad 70's bathrooms

Wow! Again, the response has been fantastic. Thanks to everyone!
3 hours left to vote, but to be honest, it looking like a run away win for Jersey C at the moment.
@admir and TMM: The colour is officially defined as Celeste, which translated as Sky Blue. However, Binachi originally mixed the paint from surplus military colours, and has range from green to blue over the years... Let's agree on Blue-Green or Turquoise

*** TRANSFER NEWS ***
Bianchi add one more to 2014 Squad
The new season is only 3 weeks away, and it looks like the newly named Bianchi Factory Team have decided that they wanted just one more rider to finalise their 2014 squad.
New Zealander Sam Bewley has signed a 2-year contract with the Italian team, and will work in a Teammate role.
The Kiwi Time Trial specialist was not re-signed by Orica-GreenEdge at the end of 2013, and will be relieved to have found a rider for the new season and beyond.

@mvh: That was the plan, as well as adding to the team when it comes to TTT etc. He was someone who was too good to leave without a team

Bianchi Factory Team
After a turbulent season, both on and off the road, Lead Sponsor for the 2013 decided to step away from the team to concentrate on other Projects.
After weeks of negotiations, Bianchi signed a deal to become the team's new Lead Sponsor and with that Bianchi Factory Team was born, with one message for the Fans: It is time to bring cycling back to the Community.
This promise started with a Fan's Vote for the 2014 jersey, and much more is planned as the season will progress.
Bianchi
A Sponsor that does not need much introduction. One of the pioneers behind the manufacture of bicycles as we know them today, Bianchi is the oldest bike manufacturing company still existance, having started in 1885, and creating some of the finest bikes in the Cycling Peleton.
The team will be officially known as Bianchi Factory Team, named after Bianchi's own Granfondo Performance Program Racing Team.
Campagnolo
Castelli
Kask Helmets
 Prostate Cancer UK
Selle Italia
Sidi
Designed by Castelli, the 2014 Jersey is modelled on the Kit worn by the Bianchi Granfondo Performance Program Racing Team.
The Design won 67% of the recent Fan's votes to be named the 2014 Team Jersey.
As with the 2013 season, the team will be riding the Oltre XR2 in 2014.

Seems like Bianchi has put out of very hard goals, will be hard to reach some of them.
Nice races on the calendar, lets hope the team gets invited to T-A, MSR and the Giro. |
