Système U Gitane Retro Cycling Jersey honoured one of French cycling's most celebrated partnerships, where the supermarket giant's sponsorship met Gitane's legendary framebuilding pedigree. The squad rode through the heartlands of European professional cycling, their distinctive striped livery a familiar sight across the grand tours. This faithful reproduction captures the bold graphic identity that made the team instantly recognisable in the peloton.

  • Lightweight polyester fabric with a modern moisture-wicking finish for comfortable riding
  • Classic white base with black and yellow vertical stripes and striking red and black shoulder panels
  • "Système" branding printed boldly across the chest, with rear logos faithful to the original team kit
  • Relaxed retro cut sits comfortably without the compression of modern race-fit jerseys
  • Full-length front zip for easy on/off and ventilation control
  • Rear pockets for stowing essentials on club rides or sportives
  • Runs in European sizing — consider ordering one size up if between sizes or preferring a looser fit
  • Machine wash at 30°C, hang dry, do not tumble dry to preserve print quality

Système U–Gitane was one of the most exciting French squads of the 1980s, powered by the elegant pedalling of Laurent Fignon, who led the team to memorable Grand Tour battles and stage victories that captivated a nation. Backed by the Système U supermarket chain and riding the iconic Gitane frames that had long been synonymous with French racing pedigree, the team carried a bold visual identity — crisp white punctuated by striking black and yellow stripes with flashes of red. It was a kit that stood out in the peloton during an era when French cycling still commanded the world stage. Fignon's rivalry with Greg LeMond and his panache on the climbs of the Tour de France gave this jersey an almost mythic quality, forever tied to one of the sport's most dramatic decades. Wearing these colours is a tribute to a time when style and audacity rode side by side on every mountain pass.
