RETRO CYCLING JERSEY BROOKLYN Blue/Red - REDTED
€59,50Cycling Jerseys - Men - REDTED
A replica retro cycling jersey from our exclusive RedTed collection. With the look of the past and the comfort of the present.
The RedTed Performance retro cycling jerseys have a silicone grip at the back and an elastic band with a grip at the front. Together with the elastic band at the (somewhat longer) sleeve, this ensures the jersey stays perfectly in place while cycling. The fabric is 100% polyester with a micro-hole ball pattern (breathable and lightweight).
These cycling jerseys are aerodynamic - so 'slim fit'; just a bit more tailored than the standard Retro Cycling jerseys. Because of the flatlock stitching, the jersey is sturdy and the seams do not irritate. The cycling jerseys are finished with a hidden long YKK heavy duty zip and have 3 large back pockets which are closed with an elastic band. The RedTed Performance cycling jerseys are available in 8 sizes, from S till 5XL.
ATTENTION: 'Italian' sizing and 'slim fit' so be sure to choose one size bigger than your usual European dress size. CHECK OUT THE SIZING TABLE.

Retro Cycling Jersey Brooklyn - REDTED
Brooklyn - one of the most beautiful cycling shirts ever - now also available in the RedTed Performance collection. A comfortable aerodynamic quality shirt with a historic look. It is a replica of the Italian professional cycling jersey Brooklyn from the period 1970 to 1977. An Italian cut professional cycling shirt with an American look.
Brooklyn is a former cycling team of Italian origin. A team with one of the most beautiful historic racing jerseys. The name and the shirt look American, but Brooklyn is Italian chewing gum made in Milan. After seeing the American soldiers chewing the typical gum with stars and stripes, the brothers Egidio and Ambrogio decided in 1946 to start producing gum as well. The great success of their company came in 1969 with the launch of Brooklyn, chewing gum with the USA stripes and with the famous bridge of New York as image. This became a great success. In 2001, the company merged with the Dutch company Van Melle (Fruittella and Mentos). The Perfetti family is now one of the richest families in Italy.
The original cycling team was founded in 1970 under the name Dreher, but changed it in 1973 to Brooklyn. This cycling team was active in the period from 1970 to 1977. It was mainly a team to be admired in the one-day cycling classics. Roger De Vlaeminck, four-time winner of Paris-Roubaix, is the most famous rider that the cycling team had. De Vlaeminck rode for Brooklyn for a total of five seasons.
Roger De Vlaeminck - Milan San Remo 1973
Under the Brooklyn sponsor name, the team achieved an impressive series of victories, including 3 titles from Paris-Roubaix (1974, 1975 and 1977), 2 titles from Giro di Lombardia (1974, 1976), Milan-San Remo (1973) and the Tour of Flanders (1977). These were all won by Brooklyn super cyclist: De Vlaeminck. The Brooklyn team consisted of a mix of Belgian and Italian riders including Johan De Muynck, Ronald de Witte, Ercole Gualazzanie, Marcello Osler and Eric De Vlaeminck. The Belgian Patrick Sercu was also part of this team, he won a large number of races such as the green jersey classification of the Tour de France in 1974.
