This collection pays homage to the teams and riders that dominated the peloton throughout the seventies. You'll find designs inspired by squads like Molteni, who blazed through the decade under the brilliance of Eddy Merckx, as well as other trade teams whose wool-and-acrylic originals are now cherished collectors' items. The graphic sensibility of the era — think earthy oranges, deep browns, vivid yellows, and clean typographic logos — is faithfully reflected in every jersey. These pieces sit beautifully alongside our 1950s & 1960s designs, tracing the evolution of cycling style through the mid-century decades.
If the seventies have captured your imagination, we invite you to keep exploring.
