1970s Retro Cycling Jerseys
The 1970s were a golden era for professional cycling, defined by bold colour palettes, iconic sponsor logos, and some of the most legendary riders ever to turn a pedal. Our 1970s retro cycling jerseys capture the spirit of that thrilling decade — a time when the sport was raw, passionate, and brimming with personality. Riders love these designs for their unmistakable vintage aesthetic, channelling the grit and glamour of an era that shaped modern cycling. Whether you're a devoted fan of the decade or simply drawn to the timeless style, these jerseys are made to be ridden in and admired.
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. Dive into the stories behind the champions who defined the decade in our Eddy Merckx collection, or see how the aesthetic evolved into the neon-tinged world of our 1980s retro jerseys.
