About the design

The Lampre Merida team kit for the 2015 season still used the darker blue colour as a basis of the kit. The designers still had to contend with the clashing pink, light blue and pea green colours.

The kit kept the pink shoulders and the green sleeve ends and side panels.

The bibshorts were also largely blue with green bands on the ends of the legs and a pink vertical line on the sides.

The only way to really use these clashing colours brought about from the sponsors is to use them more sparingly to provide detail. This iteration is again better than previous iterations that used large panels of pink and light blue but the kit still does not have the clean fresh look of something like Rapha's or Bontragers designs.
