As we're almost at Christmas, it is time to start thinking about next year's road cycling season. That means it is one of the best parts of the year - when teams release their new kits for 2025.
Rather than writing up each team individually, we thought it would work better if we collated them together, unless someone does something mad. When all the kits are out, we can do our usual arbitrary ranking of them too, so do look out for that. In this guide, we will cover just the WorldTour teams, though, otherwise it will get a bit overwhelming, apart from particular exceptions.
If you would rather find out which team riders will be appearing for next year, rather than what they will be wearing, you can find that on our comprehensive transfer guide for 2025 too.
Those looking to make a splash with their new jersey, shorts and socks combos should be wary of the fate that has already befallen some, with images leaked on social media. Once they're announced, we'll stick them on this list.
So far, we are only certain of a few kits for next season, but more will appear in the coming weeks or days; just don't hold your breath for traditional latecomers EF Education-EasyPost any time soon.
There are, of course, some teams who aren't changing at all - Bahrain-Victorious for one - so we won't bother listing them.
Fenix-Deceuninck reveal three kits for 2025
Depending on which race, Fenix-Deceuninck are to wear one of three different kits while in action in 2025. The familiar blue one from the road this year is there, as is an olive green one that has been see before, with the addition of a clay orange jersey. They are all paired with black shorts.
The press release reads: "In addition to the iconic 'verde commodoro' and the established team blue, the 2025 season will introduce a new color: 'rosso namib'." It's now made by Alé.
Canyon-SRAM zondacrypto mix it up on the same theme
Canyon-SRAM zondacrypto, with the addition of the new sponsor, have a familiar looking kit for 2025, but it is similar, with a pink base, and blue and green accents. The pink is more substantial this time, however.
Apparently it's a "a nebulous wave of coral, pink, red, turquoise and purple". It'll be worn with navy bibshorts.
Movistar switch to white
After a decade in various iterations of navy blue and light blue, Movistar have switched to a largely white jersey for 2025, which echoes their switch-out Tour de France numbers. Both the men's and women's WorldTour teams will be wearing it next year. It's a white base, with a navy blue band across the middle with the famous M logo, then some lighter blue flashes across. The jersey is paired with navy shorts.
At the presentation this week, Spanish telecommunications giant Telefónica - behind the Movistar brand - extended their deal with the team until 2029.
Human Powered Health stick to the tried and tested
The same colours and logo are there for Human Powered Health, but with a bit of a change in pattern. The Women's WorldTour team stay with the orange and purple theme.
Uno-X add shapes
There's no need to revolutionise what works, but a lovely geometric pattern on the new Uno-X Mobility jersey adds to what was already a pretty smart strip. The launch photo included the above intriguingly zipper-less jersey, which my colleague at Cyclingnews, Will Jones, went into more detail about.
Jayco AlUla and Liv AlUla Jayco go purple
The reveal of the winter has happened, with Jayco AlUla and Liv AlUla Jayco turning to MAAP for their new kit, with a big shift to a purple jersey and grey shorts. There's an interview with the people behind the Aussie brand here.
Both the WorldTour and Women's WorldTour teams will now be decked out in the new colourway, which will certainly stick out in the pro peloton, a move away from the white/orange/blue/pink of recent years.
Lotto go back to full red
Lotto are losing their secondary title sponsor Dstny for 2025, so out goes the light blue and orange of the Belgian brand, to be replaced by more Lotto red.
The jersey is quite retro, and almost fully red, apart from sponsors in white and black accents.
"We are super proud on this new race outfit," COO Kenny Provyn said. "The design reflects on the 40th year of Lotto in cycling, with a retro and playful vibe. It’s a huge milestone to have the National Lottery this long with us as a lifelong partner, for which we wanted to create a kit that takes us back in time but at the same being trendy, fast and new."
AG Insurance-Soudal add green to their kit
Women's WorldTour AG Insurance-Soudal have taken the men's Soudal Quick-Step kit and improved it infinitely with flashes of green, which comes from AG's logo. It's a similar navy base, and Soudal are prominent, but a bit more exciting.
"Our new jersey for 2025 is here and I really love the fresh new design featuring green accents that pop and celebrate the colour of AG Insurance. We can’t wait to stand out in the peloton this season," Ashleigh Moolman Pasio apparently said.
Ineos Grenadiers look much the same
Ineos Grenadiers are not wearing the same kit as last year, that is true. However, it is incredibly similar. It is as if the kit has been designed in a mirror, as it's a bit of a flip from last year. The British squad will be hoping that this flip reverses their fortunes, too.
"The collaborative approach we've taken with Gobik to design our team's kit ensures our riders not only look great but also feel great, and can perform to their optimum," Ineos Grenadiers CEO John Allert said. "This strong partnership has been the foundation for developing our fresh look for the next season."
The kit is largely orange, fading into a darker hue and then red on the shoulder, with a dark navy right sleeve. It will be paired with black bib shorts and white socks.
Soudal Quick-Step get a bit funky
Soudal Quick-Step have made the 2025 kit a bit funkier, with added white and red accents on a royal blue background. It doesn't feel like a big difference, but it is a change.
"Designed by Castelli graphic designer Luisa Menini, the new kit predominantly comprises the traditional dark blue that is synonymous with our team, while incorporating the red of our sponsor Soudal," the press release read. "Mixed into this is a lighter blue shade, which is a nod to the team’s history and our domination of the northern classics. This is all integrated into a moving fusion pattern that has been designed to imitate the movement of a passing cyclist."
Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe add white to their kit
Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe only changed kits before last year's Tour de France, but they have changed again, this time adding white to what I think is a dark navy. The kit is no longer made by Sportful, with Specialized stepping into the breech.
On the front, the top of the chest and the arms are white, but the back is fully white, if you're hoping to spot them from the helicopter shots. According to the press release, the "riders could not be happier to wear the new apparel and receive more benefit from Specialized innovation".
Astana Qazaqstan become XDS Astana
Another new name for the 2025 peloton, as Astana Qazaqstan become XDS Astana, XDS being their new Chinese bike partners, and title partners. The kit itself still has that familiar pale blue, but now with pink and green hues added. It's quite nice, but a little much for my taste.
The team will be riding X-Lab bikes, the premium offering from XDS.
Arkéa-B&B Hotels keep it simple
The big change for 2025 for Arkéa-B&B Hotels is the addition of black to what last year was a plain red kit. It's fairly standard, but it does the job. The sponsors in white certainly stand out, so they'll be happy.
Groupama-FDJ barely change at all
For the third consecutive season, Groupama-FDJ keep the same navy blue and royal blue kit, just with a change in the Groupama logo on the front and the arms. It's good to stick to what you know, but it would be nice to have a bit of change once in a while!
FDJ-SUEZ prefer evolution to revolution
It's red, white and blue again for Women's WorldTour squad FDJ-Suez, whose riders continue to style themselves in the French tricolor.
Designed by Gobik, the team's 2024 kit is almost identical to its 2023 offering, with subtle differences in the texture of the pattern. The red is further down than before, simple. Demi Vollering will be wearing this very soon!
UAE Team Emirates introduce more black to their kit
After a pretty much plain white kit for 2024, UAE Team Emirates have returned to black for next season, with black arms and a black lower torso joining the white. In the blurred image of Adam Yates above, you can see the black emerging at the bottom of the jersey. In addition, there's a new sponsor, XRG, a new company created by Abu Dhabi’s national oil company Adnoc to invest in global energy assets. It is not known what the team will be called yet.
In the same batch of images, the below image of Tadej Pogačar was also included, showing off his rainbow jersey for 2025. Will he wear white shorts at times? What do you make of it?
dsm-firmenich PostNL becomes Picnic PostNL
Not just a new kit but a new name for dsm-firmenich PostNL, as they turn into Picnic PostNL for 2025, in blue. The Dutch team still have dsm-firmenich as partners, but are now named after Picnic, an "innovative online supermarket that provides customers with fresh produce and daily groceries, delivered to their front door", in the Netherlands, Germany and France.
The kit itself goes from the white and pale blue of 2024 to navy blue for 2025, with the orange stripes remaining down the middle - the 'keep challenging' bit of the kit,
Even more intriguingly, though, is the presence of Lapierre as a sponsor on the jersey, all but confirming that the team will be switching to the French brand from Scott for next year.
Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale change the colour of one arm
Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale went through the big change last year, when they ditched their famous brown shorts. They then went on to switch up their kit halfway through last season, the most successful in their recent history.
It makes sense, then, that it is is evolution rather than revolution for 2025, with the team having different colours arms, but sticking with the dark blue galaxy print on the torso. Simple!
Lidl Trek stick to the fun formula
Lidl-Trek didn't have a new kit last year, due to the one they were wearing only being announced partway through 2023. They do have a new jersey for 2025, however, but it is not wholesale change. The yellow, blue and red of Lidl remain, just in a slightly different combination. The old strip was fun, so there's no disappointment in that continuing.
And it's all yellow for Cofidis
There's change at Cofidis, with Etxeondo coming in to make the new kit. It features yellow for a change, with it taking over from white on the arms. the front is red and burgundy, which is all quite pleasing actually. It's paired with black shorts.
