1984 Euro Soap Fleece Long Sleeves Cycling Kits

This cycling jersey is the retro-style race kit of Splendor–Euro Soap, a Belgian professional road squad active in the late 1970s and early 1980s, racing under a series of Splendor-led sponsor names.

1. Era & Background Story

　　● Design Origin & Timeline: The Belgian Splendor team competed in the Trade Team 1 ranks around 1979 to 1983, racing as Splendor–Euro Soap in 1979, Splendor–Admiral–TV Ekspres in 1980, Splendor–Wickes Bouwmarkt–Europ Decor in 1981–1982 and Splendor–Euro Shop in 1983. This kit reproduces the Splendor–Euro Soap branding of the late 1970s.

　　● Cycling Culture Behind The Design: Built around Belgian and Dutch riders, the squad contested the Flemish cobbled classics and Grand Tour stage races. Its red, white and navy checkerboard styling reflects the bold sponsor-driven kits typical of 1980s Belgian professional road cycling.

2. Key Design Elements

　　● Visual Theme: Navy blue covers the upper chest, shoulders and sleeves, with a white central chest band and red side panels. The lower torso carries a navy, red and white checkerboard pattern, while the sleeve cuffs repeat navy, white and red banding for a sharp tricolour contrast.

　　● Sponsor Branding: A white “Footing” mark appears on the upper right chest. Navy “SPLENDOR” sits above “EURO-SOAP” across the white chest band, and partial SPLENDOR lettering is printed on both sleeves, matching the team’s period sponsor layout.

　　● Cut & Construction: White crew neck collar with red trim, full-length front zipper, lightweight textured race fabric, traditional short-sleeve fit, and a black gripper elastic hem band with light dotted trim, reflecting the road kit construction of the era.

3. Featured Riders

　　● Michel Pollentier: Belgian classics and GC rider who rode for the Splendor squad in 1980, winning the 1980 Tour of Flanders with Splendor–Admiral after an earlier Giro d’Italia overall victory.

　　● Guido Van Calster: Belgian rider on the 1980 Splendor–Admiral–TV Ekspres roster, who finished sixth overall in the 1980 Vuelta a España and rode the Tour de France for the team the same year.

Product introduction:

Italian high-elastic honeycomb mesh elastic band, 3D three-dimensional weaving technology, adaptive shoulder and back curve
Italian 3D ergonomic cushion，ultra-light foam shock absorption in the front, hollow diversion and heat dissipation in the middle, and rear support reinforcement，8-hour continuous riding test, sciatic pressure peak reduced by 47%, antibacterial rate in humid environment 99.2%
3D knitted fabric (78% cool nylon/22% Lycra spandex)
Fabric: The outer protective layer features a waterproof and windproof coating, crucial for resisting harsh weather conditions (cold wind, rain, snow). It effectively blocks cold wind penetration, preventing heat loss. The fabric surface undergoes a durable water-repellent treatment, forming an invisible protective film that easily handles light rain and road splashes; water droplets bead up and roll off, keeping you dry.
The inner insulating layer innovatively combines high-quality merino wool, effectively locking in body heat even when wet. More importantly, the soft, skin-friendly feel, moisture-wicking properties, and natural antibacterial characteristics of wool ensure you stay dry, warm, and comfortable during long rides, eliminating the cold and sticky feeling common in winter cycling.
