The return of Polti as a title sponsor in 2024 sparked hope from many for the return of their stand-out yellow and green animal print kit from the nineties. However a change of branding from the Italian household appliance company and the continued sponsorship from Kometa, has led to a more simple, if still a standout kit design.
Polti-Kometa revealed the new colours in a video of a boy wearing the original yellow and green Team Polti jersey as he dreams of racing for the team. Team managers Alberto Contador and Ivan Basso also showed off the new kit for 2024.
The team claimed the animal print design has been used ‘in a much more subtle way’ on the 2024 kit but is very difficult to see on the white jersey.
