The NRPT kit for 2017 is a rather retro-looking rigout but very, very smart at the same time.
By Brian Canty
The 2017 NRPT kit has officially been unveiled and we like what we’re seeing here.
Black and white are once again the predominant colours but the tricolour down the middle of the jersey is a very eye-catching addition for the new season.
It’s a kit not too dissimilar from Nicolas Roche’s own kit with his new team BMC Racing Team and stands out by virtue of its simplicity.
The sponsors get good bang for buck here as well as they’re clearly visible – and with the number of wins we imagine the team will get in 2017 we feel they’ve gotten good value.
TITAN Containers is heavily involved this year and their company name is emblazoned across the front of the jersey while Iveagh Fitness Club in Dublin have also stumped up some finances to support the team.
Trinity Sports Management get their logo on one of the rear pockets on the jersey while so too do BMC (on the left) and BORN (on the right).
The latter are among the sport’s best known suppliers of bidons and nutrition products.
Velotec have once again pulled out all the stops in designing the kit.
We’ll have an interview with team principle Phil Finnegan in the coming days where he talks about the team’s goals for the year as well as releasing the names of the riders in the team for the coming year.
