# Histogramic Bike Gear The 2010 Mash Team Kit for the Tour of California By Brian G Randles | Published 2010-05-25 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mash-team-kit References: [highsnobiety](http://www.highsnobiety.com/news/2010/05/23/mash-2010-team-kits/) & [mash.myshopify](http://mash.myshopify.com/) The Tour of California has brought about a lot of drama in the cycling world. Lance Armstrong was accused of using illegal substances by a former teammate (again), and then was bloodied up worse than a 'Vampire Diaries' victim, which made him leave the race. But the real story from the race, of course, is the sweet Mash Team Kit which splashed on to the California [cycling scene](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oatly-and-ef-pro-cycling). Why is the Mash Team Kit so special? Well, the colors which highlight the shirt, stickers and other swag are actually a histogram of a photo taken in the hills of San Francisco. I'll take that over a tie-dyed tee any day. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.2/10 - Popularity: 34% | Activity: 23% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Histogramic Bike Gear:** The trend of using histograms in bike gear design opens up opportunities for customized and visually striking cycling apparel. - **Personalized Cycling Apparel:** The trend of incorporating personal photos into cycling gear design creates a disruptive innovation opportunity for personalized and unique sports apparel. - **Visual Data Representation:** The trend of using visual data representation in clothing design allows for creative and eye-catching products that stand out in the market. ### Where This Applies - **Sports Apparel:** The sports apparel industry can capitalize on the trend of incorporating visual data representation, offering customizable and visually appealing products to cycling enthusiasts. - **Photography:** The photography industry can explore partnerships with sports apparel brands, leveraging the trend of using personal photos in clothing design to offer unique and customized products. - **Cycling Equipment:** The cycling equipment industry can innovate by integrating the trend of histogramic design into bike gear, creating visually striking and functional products for cyclists. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Advanced Thermoregulation Cycling Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/advanced-thermoregulation.md) - [Colorful Cycling Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dream-together.md) - [Collaborative Artistic Bicycle Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/david-carson.md) - [Vintage Car-Inspired Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mosaic-gt2x-radavist.md) - [Landscape Tonal Bike Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trek-bicycle-1.md) - [Nightsky-Inspired Tonal Bicycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/project-one.md) - [Long-Distance Cycling Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brevet.md) - [Camouflage-Printed Bike Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dosnoventa.md) - [Bold Mountain Biking Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amlie-graef.md)
