Le Gitan pays tribute to one of cycling's most iconic jerseys.
Featuring a vibrant full-color pocket on the left chest and a cotton label on the lower back detailing the team's story, this jersey celebrates the legendary Brooklyn team. Active from 1973 to 1977, the Italian-based Brooklyn team aimed for excellence in one-day races. Its most notable member, Roger "Monsieur Paris-Roubaix" De Vlaeminck, was a fierce rival of Eddy Merckx, the Cannibal. Despite Merckx's dominance, Roger secured an impressive 11 monuments victories. The team's distinctive shirt design was inspired by the Italian gum brand Brooklyn, named after the renowned New York neighborhood.
