About the Design

The kit for Giant Alpecin 2016 was pretty much the same design and colour palette as the 2015 version of the Team Giant Alpecin kit. The colour palette stayed black, red, white and blue using similar colour details on the black background.

This season an inverted version of the kit was produced switching the black parts of the kit with the white bits of the kit. This was introduced in the 2016 Tour de France.

Kit manufacturer - Etxeondo
