Jersey History

[Robert Charton]

Hello SFR, I am fairly new to the group.

I found this jersey in Boulder, CO at the Community Cycles (A Used bike shop).  Anyone know what year this is from?

Thanks for the help

SFR has relied on the same jersey design  (Green/White/Blue with GG Bridge) theme since about 2008.   Voler produced most but not all of the synthetic (aka-dacron) jerseys (and other items).  There was a synthetic batch made by Fast Freddy Apparel.  I believe Fast Freddy was (is?) a company of the former pro cyclist Fred Rodriguez who lived in the Bay Area (and maybe still does).  Woolistic produced wool versions of this jersey.  There was a run of Wool Jerseys before the Woolistic version with the red Bridge and Black lettering SFR logo but the body colors varied.  I recall they were offered in black, sky blue, orange, maybe red and produced by Portland Cyclewear(sp?).   

These Green/White/Blue themed jerseys can be found all over the country and the world.  Due, in part, to the large number of generous SFR members who travel far and wide and trade or give them to others.  There are also many members who live far away and want a SFR Jersey so purchased them.

Thanks for the info on the jersey.  Didn't realize it went back to 2008.  Just wanted to make sure the Red, White, Blue on the arm band wasn't some special French flag-PBP tribute.

Hope to see you on a brevet soon,
