Blue Livery:
Ara Rating: 8/10 Alpine’s blue color has been one of my favorites over the past year, and I am so glad that they kept it. I feel that switching last year’s red for their main sponsor, BWT’s main pink color, has helped to add a bit of flair to the new look.
Pink Livery:
Ara Rating: 7/10 The almost full on pink color is a good representation of BWT’s sponsorship of Alpine but it takes away from the team’s main color which I think needs to be better shown on the livery.
