October 7, 2020

GFNY unveils its commemorative GFNY World Championship NYC Jersey to be worn by cyclists on May 16th, 2021

NEW YORK CITY – The unveiling of GFNY’s 2021 Championship jersey showcases a new style, a brand-new fabric and nod towards GFNY’s trademark color, fluo green.

The 2021 Championship jersey will commemorate the 10^th edition of GFNY World Championship NYC on May 16^th, 2021. Like all official GFNY Apparel, it is designed in NYC and Made in Italy. It features the GFNY brand logo on the chest, a faded dots design on the torso and celebrates the brand’s love of green.

Cyclists taking part in the 10^th edition will wear the jersey that has style updates for 2021, including a lower collar and longer, fitted arm cuffs. The all-new highly breathable, extremely light and extra soft Italian fabric Full Moon is applied to the shoulders, arms and side panels. The combination of the new fabric and new style provide a sleek, modern look for every GFNY racer.

These design and style updates will carry through for all GFNY World race jerseys for the 2021/2022 calendar. An additional theme element for every GFNY World race is to adapt the flag, destination and sponsors of that race to their jersey, making each race’s jersey a treasured, unique keepsake of that race.

With each new race jersey theme, GFNY produces matching apparel like bib shorts, vests, gloves, socks, cycling caps, and more. The 2021/2022 GFNY Apparel collection consists of the most innovative pieces that GFNY has ever produced. The brand-new GFNY apparel is available now at shop.gfny.com.
