well the gloves and booties order has been pretty bad, really. we don’t have close to enough to really fulfill an order. i was wondering whether all the discussion about designs and colours for next year kit may have cooled some people on getting gloves that match the current kit. it would not matter that much as our club colours are green, black and white, so any redesign will still need to incorporate those colours.
however, i am also aware that people do also wear other kits besides the club kit and as such, green branded gloves may not go that well. so in an effort to provide gloves and booties that complement the current and future kits, as well as allowing you to show your club allegiance while wearing that rapha hipster kit, the suggestion has been made to neutralise the colours and provide all black accessories.
this means that all styles of gloves and booties will be plain black with the basic spr logo on them. this also allows you to wear a trade team kit and still show you belong to spr.
anyone that has already ordered that is not happy with this, can request a refund (but as it stands, i will have to give you one anyway due to lack of interest). the designs on the orders page will change in due course, but hopefully this will generate a few more orders. order page can be found here.
ah mate i didn’t even know there was an accessory order happening. am i that out of the loop?
who are you again???
Saw a bloke resembling him at the side of the road on Saturday taking ride porn shots…might be the same one??
Not a bad idea pete for these accesories.
I presume next kit order would be with the sponsors in the year anyway.
Im happy with either.
Damn Pete, I specifically bought a bike with colours of Italian flag so the green fits.
Not fussed either way, but I agree the black will go better with other kit that I have.
I was going to put my order in a bit closer to the cut-off date but will enter it now Pete. Hopefully anyone else planning to order the gloves or other accessories will do the same so you have a better idea whether the production order will go ahead or not.
I’m going to order, but forgot to try out the sizes last Saturday at the Dôme. Will try and remember this week.
I’d prefer the black myself.
i’ve already ordered summer “track mitts” for jonny & me, but don’t mind if they’re black – either is good ;0)
