Jerseys
Cycling Jerseys
Most custom jerseys require a minimum jersey order of 25 – 30. Team Captains supply the designs for custom jerseys. Team Captains may also choose a semi-custom jersey, a pre-designed jersey that allows the team or corporate logo to be placed within the design. Most vendors have templates to help teams design jerseys.
Cycling jerseys tend to run small; they are cut like racing jerseys, so plan sizes accordingly. The average cost is $35 - $60 per jersey, plus artwork charges. Production time is approximately 6 – 8 weeks. Orders must be placed by January or early February to ensure pre-Tour delivery. Most jersey companies also require a 50 percent deposit at time of order.
