If they replaced the black bits w/ a dark chocolate brown, it would be
quite stylish and trendy. If they just added a bit of argyle, it
would be da' bomb!

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.

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.

How do they think of these things? They properly make
the shorts black, and then photograph them with grazing
incidence light showing off the team's packages.
