Personalised Race Jersey’s for all MTN-Qhubeka Riders

By Press Office · 11 comments

All MTN-Qhubeka p/b Samsung riders will sport different letters on the back of their jerseys this year. Watch out for Nic Dougall who opts for the big U! Soon, fans will have the opportunity to own their very own team jersey with their initial on it too.

The personalised letters should make it easier to spot where your favourite MTN-Qhubeka p/b Samsung riders are in the peloton this year. We suggest you bookmark this list until you get the hang of who is riding with which letter. This innovation, while fun, is also really important to our team as we believe professional cycling needs to engage its fans in every way possible. This is just one way we hope to bring cycling closer to the fans this year.

Why not just put their names on the back? Maybe because that really would look like a Newcastle Strip!

so anyone can do this? surprised more teams haven't thought of this just to get a bit more exposure....always about being just that little bit different.

 

reminds me of leicester rugby club, who only very recently were stopped from using letters instead of numbers on their jerseys. Went from A-P instead of 1-15...the front row was known as the ABC club

Think its a brilliant way , Not sure what UCI will say but assumed they cleared it when I saw the post.

 

It is also almost uncanny how almost the whole team fits in into the alphabet.

 

Only very few that had to be given letters that does not match.
