RETRO CYCLING SHIRTS REPLICAS - directly from the originals

A collection of some 2,500 original cycling jerseys should not remain in the attic, our rich cycling history must remain visible and be kept alive. That's why my entire collection is on this website. Many cycling enthusiasts would like to have such a cycling shirt themselves, but these original cycling shirts are of course not sold. But we have found a great solution for all cycling enthusiasts: cycling jerseys from before the year 2000 can now be ordered as replicas. We do this together with Retro-Cycling.com – also a company of Connecting Minds BV from Eindhoven – the Netherlands.

Below all information about these replica cycling jerseys. The production process, the delivery time and the conditions. Read this so that you know what you are ordering and under what conditions.

Ordering process of a replica cycling jersey

Ordering a replica of cycling clothing means that you give an order to have high-resolution photos and scans of the cycling clothing made with which a manufacturer can produce a replica of the clothing. These high-resolution photos are converted into a print template for production. Based on the specification you provide (model/size), we pass on your order to the manufacturer who makes the best possible reproduction of the cycling clothing you have chosen. The manufacturer sends it directly to the address you provide.

About copyright

Only on commission do we help to make replicas of original cycling clothing from before the year 2000. We do not accept orders for making more recent cycling team clothing. Through a number of conversations with (still existing) team sponsors and thanks to our practical experience, we know that there is no objection to 'promoting' the brand name. Wearing the replica cycling clothing with the mention of the original brand name does not damage the brand, but even strengthens the historical value of the brand in question. It is therefore more likely that the brand value will be strengthened. Nevertheless, if there are brands that object to the reproduction of the original cycling jerseys with their brand name on it, we will take this very seriously. We request these brands to submit their request through this application form – we request that you fill in the trademark registration correctly, otherwise we cannot process it. We also make every effort to remove sportswear brands from the replicas.
