Garmin-Slipstream releases its 2009 team kit

Garmin-Slipstream has released pictures of its 2009 team kit, which continues with the team’s trademark argyle styling, but removes restaurant chain Chipotle. Chipotle remains a team sponsor, but not a title sponsor.

“We are still powered by Chipotle burritos, as we always have been. Chipotle is our secret training weapon,” team director Jonathan Vaughters said.

The Slipstream name returns to the title to emphasize the team owners’ “focus on ethical sporting and developing the next generation of American champions,” according to a team release.

The team’s kit was designed and produced by Pearl Izumi’s Colorado-based Advanced Development Team. The team will use Pearl’s aerodynamic time trial Speed-Suit, which features a second-skin fit and strategically located proprietary fabrics.
