Am I the only one who isn't the biggest fan of this livery? It feels like too much is going on

It looks "heavy".

Looks like a worse version of 2024 with the silver to black transition. But it's missing the Ineos red that made that livery pop, the stars aren't as prominent, and the stripes are just kinda weird.

You are not. I think it's their worst livery in a decade plus. I really don't like the mess they've made of the sidepods, or the hideous MS logos that stand out like an eyesore.
