1. Basic Identity & Design Overview

This cycling jersey is the official competition kit for Team Molteni-Campagnolo, worn by the squad’s UCI World Champion riders in the early 1970s. It is one of the most iconic and rare variants of the legendary Molteni team kit.

Key Design Elements

Visual Theme: The jersey features a distinctive warm brown (tan) base, paired with black sleeves and a central black stripe emblazoned with the “MOLTENI” logo in bold white lettering. The “Campagnolo” script logo below highlights the team’s iconic component sponsor. The rainbow stripes on the collar and cuffs are the defining feature, signifying the wearer’s status as a reigning UCI Road World Champion.
Branding & Partnership: The kit celebrates the team’s core partnerships: Molteni (title sponsor, furniture brand) and Campagnolo (legendary Italian cycling components manufacturer).
Technical Features: Constructed with lightweight, breathable, period-appropriate fabric, designed for both performance and the demands of professional racing. It includes a full-length zipper and a tailored, aerodynamic fit.

2. Year & Background Story

Design Origin & Timeline

This jersey was worn by Eddy Merckx during his time with Team Molteni (1970–1976), specifically after he won the UCI World Road Race Championship in 1971 and 1974. The brown color was a special variation created for his rainbow jersey, making it one of the most coveted kits in cycling history.

Cycling Culture Behind the Design

The Rainbow Jersey Legacy: The rainbow stripes on the collar and cuffs mark this as a World Champion’s kit. For Merckx, this meant wearing the iconic colors while riding for Molteni, a visual representation of his dual status as team leader and world champion.
Molteni-Campagnolo Dominance: The pairing of Molteni and Campagnolo defined an era of cycling dominance. Campagnolo components were the gold standard, and the brand’s logo on the jersey was a testament to their partnership with the sport’s greatest rider.
