The 2026 kit

The 2026 XDS Astana Team jersey, made by new French kit supplier EKOI (three-year deal from 2026 covering kits and eyewear, replacing Italy's Biemme; revealed ~6 January 2026 alongside the team's X-LAB bikes), is a deliberate near-recreation of the team's 2025 design. The base is the iconic Astana light sky/baby blue (~#5BC6E8) covering the entire jersey, front and back. Scattered across the shoulders, upper chest and upper sleeves are small angular paint-dash / confetti-style flecks in bright primary colours — golden yellow, red-orange, magenta-pink, green and dark navy — 'primary colours dashed throughout', as Cyclist's 2026 WorldTour kit ranking put it (ranked 15th, 5/10; the same design it likened to 'a children's entertainer's costume' in 2025). For 2026 the colour splodges are shuffled slightly versus 2025 and the rest of the torso stays clean sky blue. The chest wordmarks were enlarged for 2026: a big bold dark-navy 'XDS' logotype sits across the centre chest with 'ASTANA TEAM' lettering in dark navy directly beneath it. Small partner marks — the Samruk-Kazyna Kazakh sovereign-wealth-fund group (a 'main partner' alongside XDS on the team's official sponsor list) and the EKOI supplier logo — appear in small type on the front panel and upper sleeves. Low aero collar trimmed in navy; sleeves plain sky blue with raw-cut aero cuff endings. Bib shorts are dark navy-blue (near black) with a white/sky-blue 'XDS' wordmark on each thigh, paired with navy socks with sky-blue accents. No special one-off Tour de France 2026 kit: XDS Astana is not among the six teams (Visma-Lease a Bike, Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe, Movistar, Jayco AlUla, Pinarello-Q36.5, Caja Rural) running Barcelona/TdF swap-out kits, so the team wears its regular sky-blue EKOI kit in July 2026.
