I must admit, though I am an all black kit and clothing kind of guy myself, there is something to be said about whimsical jerseys and cycling kits. There is something fun about showing up to your Saturday ride with friends and having the most colorful and sometimes hilarious kit, especially when you are feeling strong and pulling them around all day. Bicycling.com has scoured and found some of the funniest kits out there in the following feature. A few are definitely worth highlighting, and I have followed with a couple of my personal favorites from experience.
Feature: 12 Crazy Cycling Kits
This kit is my particular favorite from the feature, I literally laughed out loud as I came across this one while scrolling through. The Banana kit by DJ Clever Kits from Sommerville Sports! Need we say more? This kit speaks for itself in our opinion. Vivid photography of real bananas, no animation here, completely covering the jersey. Peers at your weekend ride will simply be amazed, and may even get a chuckle, or two, or many.
I think that most who have grown up in the 90’s can agree that this kit is pretty much totally AWESOME! Think Zack Morris, Kelly Kapowski, Samuel “Screech” Powers, and A.C. Slater; If “Saved By the Bell” had a cycling club, this would surely be their team kit. Another amazing Australian cycling export, Attaquer is making super high quality cycling apparel with the attitude desired by even the most outspoken cyclists.
Okay, once again I am at a loss of words. What can really be said about a majestic Unicorn spewing rainbows all over the place… nothing more than “AWESOME”! This unique kit is designed for Halters Cycles in New Jersey, a bit jealous that they thought of it first to be completely honest. Yet it wouldn’t work for our branding here in Brooklyn anyhow. Either way, bravo Halters Cycles, totally awesome and I would be amused to say the least if I saw this jersey on the way up to Nyack or down to Surf City.
One of my personal favorites, the team Near Naked men cycling kit. Team Near Naked has joined together to raise money for the Male Cancer Awaerness Campaign, specifically male prostate cancer. So, not only is the kit hilarious with a nearly naked appearance and simple foliage covering rider’s bits, but team Near Naked is out their riding in the fight against cancer; a cause that is difficult to not admire. I had the pleasure of lending one of my bikes a couple years ago as Team Near Naked premiered the kit in a photo shoot at Look Mum No Hands’ Clerkenwell location in London as seen in the following photo. Riding for a good cause, we are all about it.
And lastly, the Heinz Beans kit! Yes, a thousand times yes.
Made by Foska Clothing. Please let us know about any funny cycling kits you know of or may own. We would love to hear about them, always a good chuckle.
