1. Basic Identity & Design Overview

This cycling jersey is the iconic light blue kit of Team Sky, worn during the team’s final seasons before its rebranding as Ineos Grenadiers.

Key Design Elements

Visual Theme: The jersey features a bright, eye-catching sky blue base with a wide white horizontal stripe across the chest, housing the large "sky" logo. The stripe is accented with subtle dashed line details, while the rest of the jersey displays sponsor marks including 21st Century Fox, Pinarello, and Castelli, alongside the UCI World Tour logo.
Branding & Partnership: The kit reflects the team’s later-era sponsorship portfolio, including lead sponsor Sky, media partner 21st Century Fox, bike supplier Pinarello, and apparel brand Castelli. The light blue color scheme was a fresh update to the team’s classic black designs.
Technical Features: This replica honors the original design while incorporating modern performance upgrades: a full-length zipper for ventilation, lightweight moisture-wicking fabric, and a tailored race fit, suitable for both training and vintage-inspired rides.

2. Year & Background Story

Design Origin & Timeline

This light blue kit was worn by Team Sky during the 2017–2019 seasons, a period when the team was expanding its commercial partnerships and refining its visual identity. The design was used for select races and events, before the team rebranded as Ineos Grenadiers in 2020.

Cycling Culture Behind the Design

Modern Sponsorship & Brand Evolution: The kit marked a shift in Team Sky’s visual identity, moving away from their iconic all-black jerseys to more vibrant color schemes as they added new corporate partners. The light blue design reflected the team’s growing mainstream appeal beyond cycling fans.
Media Partnerships: The inclusion of 21st Century Fox branding tied into the team’s media outreach, using cycling as a platform to reach global audiences and showcase their sponsors.

The kit was worn by the team’s star riders during their final seasons under the Team Sky name:

Egan Bernal: The young Colombian rider wore this kit during his 2019 Tour de France win, becoming the first rider born in the 1990s to claim the title.
Team Legacy: This light blue kit represents the final chapter of Team Sky’s era, before the team rebranded as Ineos Grenadiers. The design remains a beloved piece of memorabilia from one of cycling’s most dominant teams.

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.
