Eighteen eye-catching jerseys to make a statement on the club run

After something a little different to stand out on the road? Look no further...

There’s no shortage of high-performance short sleeve jerseys available to us cyclists, but it’s fair to say a lot of them are just, well, boring. That’s starting to change, though, with a number of new brands entering the market with a range of bold designs, and existing players catching up with striking jerseys of their own.

Of course, if a jersey keeps you warm in cold weather or cool on warmer days, and offers a comfortable fit at the right price, then that’s the most important things sorted.

Want a jersey a little different from the plain and boring?

But what if you want to stand out a little? To turn heads on the road or make a statement on the club run? There are plenty of jerseys out there that go beyond the usual black, red or blue designs and offer something a little more, well, stylish – without necessarily sacrificing fit or performance.

We’ve picked out 18 of the best eye-catching jerseys, to add a little flair to your cycling wardrobe.
