As I understood, prior to specific design team/national/leaders jerseys, a ribbon or fabric armband was used for identification. Original TdF leader was indicated by a green armband, last rider a red one. The design is a nod to the heritage of the sport - thought it was common knowledge, but will check a few resources when I have a sec to dig out.
