Ineos Grenadiers have confirmed they will race in white shorts and a bright orange and white jersey in 2026, with the new look designed to stand out in the peloton.
The British team revealed their new kit on Wednesday as they wrapped up their December training camp in Spain. The kit, made by Spanish brand Gobik, had been spotted during training and photoshoot days but was confirmed by the team on Wednesday with a series of photographs and a launch video.
The shorts are bright white, while the jersey features an orange and white drip dye design. The lower part is white, allowing the TotalEnergies logo to stand out. The upper half is bright orange, with the Ineos logo and 'Grenadiers' in a block of black letters on a white background.
