The History of the Cofidis 2022 jersey

By VAN RYSEL

"A breakthrough jersey while reflecting Cofidis’ unique DNA."

DESIGN CHOICES

To announce our first year of partnership with the UCI World Tour Cofidis teams, we wanted to create a jersey that would break with the norm while maintaining the team's unique DNA.

We wanted to create a dynamic design, consistent with our sober and elegant style, while allowing the traditional Cofidis colours to be used.

On the race clothes, we deliberately left out the yellow that is Cofidis' identity and concentrated on 3 colours: red, black and white in order to be stronger and more impactful.

The training clothes honours the yellow, bringing more visibility and therefore more safety to the riders.

We have reversed the Cofidis logo vertically on the front and back and in oversize, to make it easier to read and bring more modernity. This allows the jersey to stand out in the peloton and to stand out from the other teams.

The Cofidis logo appears without its sun on the front to highlight its very sober and modern typography. The sun is played on the back to animate the back of the riders.

TECHNICAL CHOICES

The jersey has been designed to provide maximum comfort and performance for the riders in the training.

-Aero component to reduce aerodynamic drag

-Fitted sleeves: promotes comfort and ease of movement

-Siliconised and straight edge finish: improves fit and comfort

-Micro-perforated component to wick away perspiration and protect from UV rays

-Integrated number pocket for quick insertion of bibs and to limit wind resistance

-Anti-slip elastic: ensures a good fit of the jersey

-VISLON zip for smooth opening and closing.

TRICOLOUR DESIGN AND MANUFACTURE

The partnership between Cofidis and Van Rysel is based on our common passion for performance cycling and the geographical proximity of our two entities, both of which are based in Flanders.
