To celebrate the 2023 UCI World Championships in Glasgow, Santini has launched a new collection of kits that comprise both new designs that give a nod to the Scottish landscape, as well as the traditional rainbow motif that’s become synonymous with the Worlds.
“Our unique collection includes two kits for road cyclists: the Cloudscape kit created by the O Street designers, paying tribute to the wonderful Scottish landscapes, with its green forests and mountain profiles reflected in the lakes. The City Grid kit, created by the designer Patrick Hughes, captures various shades of blue and green and recalls some of the features of the Glasgow city architecture. The Cloudscape kit features a jersey, bibshorts, baselayer, and accessories, while the City Grid kit also includes a windproof and rainproof vest and jacket. The third kit, named Rocky is specifically designed for mountain bike. This outfit, created by Fourtwentyseven and Stuco designers, reflects the lush colours of the Glentress Forest, renowned for its beautiful trails,” says Santini.
The new UCI Collection and the Grandi Campioni Collection
“We’re also proud to launch the new Santini X UCI collection. In addition to the replica of the official rainbow jerseys for UCI World Champions in all the disciplines and of the jerseys for the Women’s World Tour, we’ve devised a line of summer and winter garments integrating the iconic UCI rainbow stripes,” Santini adds.
As part of the new UCI collection, the Santini has also created a new Grandi Campioni line.
“We designed five kits in celebration of five memorable UCI Road World Championships,” says Fergus Niland, Creative Director at Santini Cycling Wear, “and to do this, we took our inspiration from the posters and imagery of these events.
The UCI Road World Championships editions featured in the new collection are Salò 1962, Imola 1968, Barcelona 1973, Goodwood 1982 and Colorado Springs 1986.
The collection consists of jersey, a baselayer, and bibshorts. A cotton leisure T-shirt is also available.
The new UCI collection and the 2023 UCI Cycling World Championships kits can be purchased at www.santinicycling.com and in cycling stores across the world from April 27.
