The 2026 kit

Santini-made race jersey on a deep navy-blue base — the 2026 edition of Lidl-Trek's signature 'pixel mosaic' design, refreshed for 2026 with noticeably more blue and a smoother, more graduated colour transition than 2025. The chest and torso are built from multiple lighter and darker blue tones (deep navy blending into brighter Lidl blue) rather than a single block colour, broken up by small geometric pixel-dashes of vivid red and bright yellow — Lidl's brand colours — that densify toward the shoulders so the colours appear to dissolve into one another. Red is reduced compared with previous years and concentrated mainly around the right shoulder. The sleeves are asymmetric: the right sleeve resolves into solid vivid red, the left sleeve into bright yellow, each fragmenting back into navy pixel-dashes at the shoulder. Across the middle of the chest sit the two white title-sponsor wordmarks 'Lidl' and 'Trek' side by side; directly below them, across the abdomen, is the white 'servicenow' wordmark — the team's new official AI partner and the headline addition to the 2026 jersey front. A small Santini maker's mark sits on the upper chest, and new hydration partner Gatorade also joined the 2026 sponsor layout (featured across the kit rather than centrally on the jersey front). Navy collar; raw-cut sleeve ends (red cuff on the right arm, yellow cuff on the left). Bib shorts are plain very dark navy/near-black with white 'Lidl Trek' wordmarks on the thighs. No special Tour de France switch-out kit for Lidl-Trek in 2026. Note for July 2026: Quinn Simmons — 2026 US road champion (his third title, second consecutive) — wears the white stars-and-stripes US national champion's version of this kit, and Mathias Vacek — 2026 Czech double national champion (road race and time trial) — wears the Czech champion's red-white-blue tricolour jersey rather than the standard design.
