EF Education suits up for 2026 in style with a new multi-year clothing partnership

EF Education-EasyPost have become iconic for their distinctive pink outfits, and 2026 season will be no different. However the team will no longer be dressed by Rapha. Instead, the Swiss clothing company ASSOS will be responsible for the outwear of both men's and women's teams from 2026 onwards. The two parties have struck a multi-year partnership.

From far, the 2025 and 2026 kits are not as easily distinguishable, as the same shades of pink, combined with while elements dominate the jersey. However upon a closer inspection, we notice a different pattern on the darker pink. The "old" rhombic pattern is replaced by much rounder shapes, in adition to subtle white square grid.

Here is what the team had to say about the new looks and partnership in a web press release:

"Our 2026 ASSOS team kit breaks technological boundaries and brings bold, free-spirited style to the peloton. Its launch completes the first phase of our multi-year project to go beyond the current orbit of professional cycling with Switzerland’s technical apparel pioneers."

"Each EF Pro Cycling athlete raced beyond their home universe to earn their spot on our team propelled by their courage and driven by their dreams. Now, we’re entering a new era together with ASSOS of Switzerland. The goal? Blast away from professional cycling’s established trajectory. We will find new realms in which to revel thanks to the limitless technical possibilities ASSOS can unlock. Our course is set for the future of speed."

"Ever since EF joined the WorldTour, we have come in hot (and hot pink), pushing the boundaries of design – and design regulations – to the absolute limit. Cycling is a sport where every variable can be accounted for, measured, and infinitely optimized. And yet the forces that drive an athlete to achieve the impossible defy any scientific explanation. This is the space EF Pro Cycling and ASSOS intend to explore."

"Our 2026 kit offers nods to the future, with each line and design element a pathway to a new frontier, but it’s not about the fabric. This partnership is all about finding that point where science meets wonder and the known bleeds into the unknown, inspiring every rider to explore the boundaries of their own personal universe, and go beyond them."

"Together with ASSOS, we are going to ride, explore, innovate, adventure, and race into the new future of speed. Suit up and join us."
