Who had the stupid idea to turn the Green Jersey mudgreen?

Isn't it part of the prestige of the leader jerseys that they stick out in the peloton?

Now the jersey almost looks like a military camouflage. They made it more difficult to find the green Jersey in the sprint train.

Escape Collective reported that Skoda had a marketing company do a redesign for them as a company and they changed the shade of green. That change then unfortunately carried over to the Tour...

He's the one at the back of the only functioning sprint train. Pretty easy to spot at the moment.

I agree it's not a nice or helpful colour, but kind of accept this stuff is for the sponsors at the end of the day, so meh.
