The uniform of the Colombia women's cycling team if creating a controversy in the Tour of Tuscany because of its daring design that features a flesh-coloured cycling shorts with a design of the female genital, making it appear like the female bikers are bottomless.

The rest of the outfit is a mixture of red, yellow and white colours.

The uniform has drawn negative reactions in social media. Here are some of the comments on Twitter:

"Which idiot designed Colombia women's cycling team uniform?" - Helene Lee

"A joke? A statement? Whatever it is the Colombian Women's Cycling uniform is bad." - Tim Fuell

"I'm no fashion expert but way to go Colombia, we are lost for words on your women's cycling team uniform!" - Malta Hostel

"Someone has really bad design taste or bad sense of humor." - Andrew O. Selsky

"What you see above is the Colombia women's cycling team uniform, and it is the definition of insanity." - Lulo L.

"Even I know that the Colombia women's cycling team uniform is a genuine disaster."- Jeff Terry

The New York Daily News said the team has become the laughing stock because of its new uniform. After the team posted a photo in Twitter of the uniform worn by six team members, the post became viral and the uniform the talk of the town.

Fox News reports that Brian Cookson, president of the International Cycling Union, had stated that the unifoms are "unacceptable by any standard of decency."

It added that Angie Tatiana Rojas, a member of the team, made the provocative design and was even endorsed by two sponsors of the group, namely the District Institute for Recreation and Sport (IDRC) and the San Mateo and Solgar Foundation.

But the IDRC clarified in a tweet, "In regard to the uniforms of the women's cycling team, we clarify that we were not consulted on its design. We support the team in its trip."

The team will compete in the world championships in Ponferrada, Spain, and cycling fans, the fashion police and guardians of morality are waiting to see if the team will again wear the same uniform in the competition.
