1. Basic Identity & Design Overview

This cycling jersey is the official race kit for Team Sonatrach-Bianchi, a North African professional road cycling team with a bold, instantly recognizable design that blends Algerian national identity with Bianchi’s iconic heritage.

Key Design Elements

Visual Theme: The jersey features a striking color-block pattern, with vibrant orange dominating the upper and lower torso, contrasted by black panels on the shoulders and a central black chest band. Bianchi’s signature celeste turquoise accents appear on the collar, cuffs, and side panels, tying the design to the brand’s legacy.
Branding & Partnership: The kit prominently displays the team’s core sponsors: title sponsor Sonatrach (Algeria’s state-owned oil and gas giant), legendary bicycle brand Bianchi, and apparel manufacturer Diadora. The Arabic text “سوناطراك” (Sonatrach) confirms the team’s Algerian identity, while the Italian flag and “Edoardo Bianchi” eagle crest reinforce the brand’s Italian roots.
Technical Features: Constructed with lightweight, breathable, and moisture-wicking fabric optimized for hot North African conditions. It includes a full-length front zipper, ergonomic paneling for aerodynamics, and a silicone hem gripper to keep the jersey secure during high-intensity rides.

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.
