Slipstream Sports - the company behind Team Garmin-Cervelo - earlier today released a sneak peek at the 2011 team jersey design.

Slipstream announced earlier this year that Team Garmin-Transitions and Cervélo SA will join forces for the 2011 season to create a new team which will be known as Team Garmin-Cervelo.

Surprisingly the team today chose to reveal a preview of the new 2011 team jersey which is designed and produced by Italian cycling clothing manufacturer Castelli. Castelli supplied team clothing to Cervelo TestTeam in 2009 and 2010.

Contrary to the 2010 Team Garmin-Transitions kit, the 2011 Team Garmin-Cervelo kit will not be orange and blue, but rather black, white and blue.

The non-cool argyle design, which secured Team Garmin-Transitions a reputation for being the team with the most untrendy team clothing design, will virtually vanish from the 2011 Team Garmin-Cervelo kit and will fortunately only appear on a small part of the jersey sleeves. Hopefully Team Lampre will also revise their kit design for 2011.

The full 2011 Garmin-Cervelo team kit will be introduced in January or early February, according to a Castelli spokesman.
