The UCI has introduced new rules for team jerseys starting in the 2025 season. Teams must ensure their designs do not resemble the leaders' jerseys in Grand Tours, including the pink, yellow, green, and white jerseys. Previously, teams like EF Education-EasyPost and UAE Team Emirates adjusted their colors to avoid similarities. Now, the responsibility lies with the teams to create distinct designs, which aims to reduce confusion during races. The UCI's rule, established on June 17, 2024, requires teams to submit their jersey designs for approval. This change marks a shift from previous regulations, where race organizers managed jersey distinctions.
