The
Colombian women's cycling team were meant to be showing the world what
they were made of as they posed in their new kit this week.
But
they appeared to show a little too much as all eyes were drawn to the
bizarre new flesh-coloured design stretching across their lower torso.
As
the smiling athletes took to the stage, they seemed blissfully unaware
of the blunder, which left them looking completely exposed at the groin.
The
Colombian team, which is sponsored by the country's capital city of
Bogota, was wearing the outfit to take part in a cycling competition in
Italy.
The
race is held in honour of former Italian champion, Michela Fanini,
whose promising career was cut short when she died in a car crash in
1994 at just 21 years old..
It is
difficult to ascertain whether the outrageous new strip was a publicity
stunt or a genuine fashion faux-pas but the team may think twice about
turning out in it again.
The design has caused a stir on social media - with many ranking it among the worst kits ever seen at a sporting event.
Some joked on Twitter that they had gone out to buy the kit, while others criticised the stunt for going too far.
Comparisons
were also made with other sporting fashion mishaps- such as the
Scottish team's kit at this summer's Commonwealth Games which involved a
strange tartan and blue spotted design.
