The attire we will use in our 23rd season is inspired by the dynamic movement of cycling.
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. 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.
As announced earlier in the year, our team will continue their relationship with the famous cycling apparel outfitter Castelli, for the next two seasons. They will kit our team out with not only this beautiful new jersey and shorts, but with an extensive range of clothing, including their industry leading Gabba R jacket, and other garments that will help our riders to perform in the world’s biggest and hardest races, whatever the conditions.
Menini said: “I was honoured to be asked to help with the design of the Soudal Quick-Step 2025 kit. I wanted to add in a fresh feel and experimented with a lighter blue fade and when this was presented to the team, we formulated a pattern that would allow us to give a nod to the great history of this famous team. I then looked to integrate the red of Soudal in a natural way, such as that seen for the T-Rex outfit used at last year’s Vuelta, which also gave the perfect canvas on which to place the team’s sponsors’ logos.”
Castelli’s Brand Manager, Steve Smith, said: “We always seek opportunities to elevate performance. Working with such a motivated team allows us to refine products that excel in aerodynamics, comfort, and protection against the elements. The graphic elements of the 2025 kit showcase a young, dynamic design that reflects the team’s energy, motivation, and the strong synergy between Soudal Quick-Step and Castelli’s Race Performance Division. This partnership embodies how innovation thrives in the pro peloton, and we’re proud to ensure these advancements benefit not only Soudal Quick-Step riders but cyclists everywhere.”
“I love the new design, and I will be proud to wear it in 2025. Castelli makes some wonderful cycling garments that can help keep us warm at the colder races earlier in February and March and then help to battle the heat of the Tour de France or La Vuelta, while having quality and comfort that means we can ride all day. The new design is very eye-catching, and I am sure everybody will love it. Next season could be an historic one for the team, as we’re inching in on our 1000th victory, and it would be really great to achieve this incredible milestone in this beautiful kit”, added Soudal Quick-Step’s Mikel Landa.
The new kit will be available for pre-order from January 2nd on the team’s webshop.
