The Colombian female cycling team unveiled their new sports kit over the weekend and the pictures immediately went viral. The pictures make it look like the cyclists are all on their periods and using thick sanitary pads, and have been shared over a 50,000 times on Twitter. The ladies, who are cycling in the Giro Toscana this week, look very happy as they pose in their latest publicity shots and probably didn’t see anything wrong with their new kits in the red, unclad and yellow team colors.
Everyone understands that cyclists need some padding to prevent chaffing, but it is the unclad-color that slashes the kit, that has caused a lot of debate online. That area which contains the padding to protect the ladies groin area during riding, unfortunately gives the ladies camel toe, and looks like their real skin. People are also wondering if it’s an innocent oversight by an over-enthusiastic designer or done for publicity for the team.
Is this sports kit embarrassing?
