'Vagina-like': New Colombian women's cycling team kit causes controversy

Everyone is talking about Colombia’s women’s cycling team. But not for their skill - for their sports kit.

The new uniform, which the team wore for the first time this weekend during the Tour of Tuscany, is bright red, yellow and white, with a nude-coloured lower torso.

It may sound like a clash of colours, but the outfit is guilty of a far more serious fashion faux pas, as these pictures show.

Simply, the flesh-coloured design suggests the kit has a cut-away area, where their knickers should be.

In some images posted on Twitter, the apparent nudity is emphasised more by bad lighting.

It has led to comments such as “Colombia's women's cycling jerseys are unintentionally vagina-like” and “Worst Uniform Ever!”.

Others have remarked on the ‘camel-toe’ effect of the design, and questioned whether the male cycling team will have similar nude-coloured sections.

The team is backed by Colombia’s ministry of sport and is sponsored by the capital city of Bogota.

But who had the idea for these ill-thought through uniforms is still a mystery.
