Santini and Atalanta have collaborated on a new collection that celebrates the storied Italian companies, albeit from two very different sports segments.
“Two sports so (apparently) distant but so close since they share the same territory: by tradition, results and popular practice, football and cycling are part of the Bergamo DNA. It is based on this principle that the partnership between Santini Cycling Wear and Atalanta Bergamasca Calcio was born, two Bergamo companies that today unveil a line of technical cycling clothing featuring the colors and identifying themes of the football team,” says Santini.
“Developed and designed by Santini, which has been making cycling clothing since 1965, the garments dedicated to Atalanta are born from the collaboration of two excellences from the Bergamo area and will become a must-have for the many Atalanta fans who want to show their footballing loyalties even as they are cycling,” adds Santini.
The collection comprises two jerseys, bibshorts and matching accessories, resplendent with Atalanta’s logo and black and blue colors.
The Sleek Dea jersey is intended for enthusiasts who prefer an aerodynamic fit, featuring fabrics that are made in Italy from 100% recycled materials, along with “Nerazzurri” embellishments on the pockets and Atalanta’s team logo over the heart.
By a similar name, the Dea jersey has a more traditional cut, resulting in less of a “second-skin” feel across the body, highlighted by symbols that give a nod to the city of Bergamo, along with Atalanta’s motto “La maglia sudata sempre” (Always with the sweat-soaked shirt) printed inside the collar.
Both jerseys are tied-in with a matching bibshort, which features Thunderbike Power compression fabric and Santini’s GITevo seat pad, as well as coordinating socks, gloves and cap.
The Santini/Atalanta collection is available at www.santinicycling.com, as well as Atalanta and Santini stores and authorized cycling shops.
