The An Post Chainreaction team unveiled their new team kit for 2014 today in a video from their training camp in Calpe, Spain.
While new signing Ryan Mullen is currently on duty with the Irish team at the UCI Track World Cup in Mexico, Irish quartet Jack Wilson, Sean Downey, Conor Dunne and Marcus Christie were all given their new kit manufactured by Portuguese company Onda.
The kit retains the distinctive green of An Post but loses some of the black colour of last year in favour of more white on the sides of the jersey and side panels of the shorts.

Team boss Kelly visited the Portuguese clothing manufactures with directeur sportif Kurt Bogearts prior to the manufacturing of the kit and went through the various materials and types of clothing needed for the team throughout the season.
The squad also announced the acquisition of experienced Dutchman Bobbie Traksel.
The 32-year-old former Champion Systems riders has also ridden for Rabobank, Vaconsoleil and Landbrowkrediet among others and has 12 professional victories to his name, including the 2012 Kuurne-Brussels-Kuurne and won the combativity classification at the Tour of Oman last year.
