About the Design

From a design perspective the 2016 iteration of the BMC kit was pretty much identical to previous versions. Colour palette, logo placement, the red geometric shape and name placement are all similar. The names are still rendered in white against the background colours of black and red.

This is a good design which has been used for a few seasons now but we think it is time for a design innovation. There are many different configurations that could be tried to great effect and although keeping the design similar does make their brand very recognisable and strong it does not make for a very interesting reveal at the start of a new season.

That being said the colour palette and design is strong as always.
