The 2026 kit

The 2026 Bahrain Victorious kit (by Alé, the pair's fifth season together) is a deliberate break from the team's previous predominantly white look: a deep navy, near-midnight-blue base jersey with contrasting pale-turquoise Bianchi-celeste sleeves — the two-tone effect reads like a navy gilet worn over celeste arms. The celeste honours new bike sponsor Bianchi and evokes Bahrain's shallow 'Two Seas' waters. A faint, oversized tonal 'X' crosses the torso — the Roman numeral for the team's tenth season at cycling's top level (WorldTour debut 2017) — echoed by a small 'X' anniversary logo. Subtle oxidised-teal tones (inspired by weathered artefacts of Bahrain's ancient Dilmun civilisation) and dashes of sand-beige (Bahrain's desert) are woven into the design. Across the chest sits the 'BAHRAIN VICTORIOUS' team wordmark in bold white capitals; the white OMNIYAT wordmark (the Dubai developer, new headline partner for 2026) runs on both celeste sleeves and along the jersey's side panels; the small Alé maker's mark sits near the shoulders/collar. Navy collar, raw-cut sleeves finishing in celeste. Bib shorts are plain black/near-black navy with white sponsor lettering on the thighs. At the July 2026 Tour the riders pair this with navy/celeste helmets and matching celeste eyewear, riding Bianchi Specialissima RC (the new ultralight all-rounder launched June 2026) and Oltre RC aero bikes finished in a custom dark transparent navy-to-celeste fade over exposed carbon, with white bar tape and saddles. The team wears its standard navy/celeste season kit at this Tour — no special swap-out jersey (2026's special TDF kits belong to Visma-Lease a Bike, Movistar, Pinarello-Q36.5, Jayco AlUla and Caja Rural).
