Because the choice of black and white likely comes down to not wanting to reveal the look of the car until the unveil.

I think Mclaren had an orange car back in -98 too, before the unveiling of the silver/black livery. I always thought the orange looked better!

I know some of the old Mclaren cars were orange at some points in time, but I just don't get the hype over the solid orange... it's just another plain solid colour to me.... not sure of what appeal it has, other than looking like orange tic tacs and making me hungry. That is just me though....

If you ask me, I would love to see something new and original in 2015. Maybe some blue?

I am still holding out for red and white, hopefully no matter what sponsors they get they will lose the Mercedes silver for Honda white. With orange test cars.

If we look at the team wear. I think we'll see a white/black car or a white/red car because of Santander.

Team clothing is unrelated to the car livery. In 2011 when the team released black clothing there were rumours the car was going to be black - which it obviously weren't.

i.e they released this

I wouldn't read into the colour of the team merchandise meaning what the livery will be

Ah yes, 2011. That was the year they also did all sort of crazy colors and patterns with the overalls. Mclaren back then was in doubt if they should step out of the closet or not.

Anyway, I think they'll just keep with they currently have. Lots of people and myself included would love to see the marlboro livery, but chances are that under tobacco regulations they aren't going to be allowed to do so, being too suggestive.
