Not all of them are.

While there might be some teams that have partly pink team clothing, there's only ONE pink jersey that's important, and that's the one worn by the overall leader.

Giro di Italia was born pretty much the same way as Tour de France was, a newspaper decided to host a sports event to generate interest and sell more copies.

In france that newspaper was printed on yellow-dyed paper, in Italy it was pink.

And before the days of readily available, up-to-date media, the different color jerseys were a helpful tool for spectators to know when a top rider was passing by.
