Guide Review - Cycling Jerseys for College Sports Fans

Adrenaline Promotions has cornered the market on officially licensed collegiate-themed road and mountain bike jerseys. Chances are you'll find just about any tier I school that you're looking for, from Alabama and Arizona to Wisconsin, Wyoming and Yale. Fit and construction of jerseys is solid, with 100% treated microfiber polyester performance fabric, designed to be quick-drying to give you maximum riding comfort. Cut like standard bike jerseys, ordering your normal shirt size will offer a traditional cycling fit (i.e., fairly tight). Go a size larger for a looser fit. Ladies, note too that the sizing and cut is based on male fit.

The attraction, obviously, in these jerseys is in being able to carry the logo and colors of your favorite school. And this part has been done well, too, with logos and mascots both front and back and on the sleeves. Sublimated graphics laid into the fabric means that they'll wear long without fading, bleeding or losing their crispness.

All-in-all, these are well-made jerseys that will be long-lasting and comfortable. Wear them on the bike or to the game as you show off your allegiance to your favorite team.
