You know it's ****e when it something actually make The Shack's kit
look good in comparison ...

Well, I'm an advocate of simple kit designs so I'd beg to
differ that it's worse than The Shack's. I like the black
shorts with no colored side panel.

If I were a sponsor I would like how the eye is drawn to
the Sky logo, how easy it is to pick out due to the lack
of competing visual elements.

I will also note that the Sky shorts are more discrete on
rainy days than those of many other teams. This is a flaw
that too many kit designers commit, and if I could slap
them for it you can bet I would.

quik step's 'retro' kit for 2010 also seems to have all black shorts:

i guess only the cool teams got the black shorts memo

Like Sky they feature an uncomplicated design with little
visual competition for the primary sponsor's logo. They've
got a blue side panel on the shorts:

So it isn't entirely retro.
