Dutch cycling brand Allez Cycling knows that pro cyclists who ride with the number “13” often place it upside down. With this in mind, the company now offers a cycling-themed t-shirt for men and women that reflects the cycling tradition that race number 13 is bad luck. The number on this 100 percent organic cotton shirt is also upside down – making this shirt sure to be a conversation starter.

Shirt to a T
Sure you can hop on the bike with any old T-shirt, but the Kitsbow Ride Tee is one that is meant for a ride. It is made from New Zealand Merino wool, and each shirt has embroidered nylon shoulder panels for added abrasion wear resistance along with a stitched chest past pocket. It is available in three colors including Olive, Gray Heather, and Charcoal Heather.
Sizes range from XS to XL so it should also fit to a T.
The Shirt Says It All
Cycology has introduced a new shirt that pretty much says how many cyclists feel. Live – Breathe – Bike. If that’s how you go through life than this shirt is for you.
The Champ
Whether you are first across the line or not you can dress the part of the champion with the Todd Snyder x Champion Sportswear Collection, which features a number of iconic designs and images. This new collection, which evokes the Champion brand going back to 1919, features tees, hoodies, shorts and much more. It looks vintage but is ready for today’s athletes.

Colorado Flood Relief Shirt Released
The rains may have stopped in Colorado but the damage has been done. Stephanie Baum and Scott Brooks have launched the Great Colorado Flood Relief Project which is offering a special t-shirt for sale, where all the net proceeds will go to relief agencies helping those who have been displaced by the floods.
Rainbow to a T
Après Vèlo has offered up some cycling inspired t-shirts for the Tour de France and with the UCI Road World Championship heading to Florence, Italy later this month the company has hit the road (so to speak) with its Worlds Rainbow T-Shirt.
It offers a semi-fitted crew neck, with printed graphics on the front and rear, and of course includes the rainbow stripe on the sleeve to honor the World Road Cycling Champion – and even includes a small rear patch pocket. And unlike the actual “rainbow jersey” you don’t have to head to Florence to get one.
Tour de Force
While you didn’t ride to victory in the Tour de France (unless you are Chris Froome and we’d be impressed if he were reading this), you can still suit up like this year’s winner. Rapha has released a special edition Team Sky Tour de France victory jersey. Available in September it will feature the team riders’ names are printed on the rear pocket and features sponsor logos, and even a yellow strip on the arm and down the back.
The company is also launching a slim-fitting black cotton victory T-shirt that carries the outline of France (surprisingly doesn’t include Corsica) and includes the names of the nine squad members of Team Sky. Continue reading Tour de Force

These include the 511 jeans, t-shirts (including the two above), as well as jackets, shorts, and pants.

Burton Produces Line from Recycled Dew Bottles
Burton Snowboards and Mountain Dew formed a partnership, the Green Mountain Project, late last year that will show more green than the soda’s bottles. As part of the partnership Burton will use recycled Mountain Dew bottles to manufacture a number of its products. The goal is to create sustainable fabrics out of recycled plastic bottles.
We’ll see products roll out throughout the 2012 and 2013 seasons. Among the first pieces to come out will be a hand-crafted line of t-shirts made from 50 percent recycled plastic bottles and 50 percent organic cotton. The first t-shirts from Burton’s Green Mountain Project will be a line of limited edition Burton x Mountain Dew tees. Three styles include Apparatus, Flake and Chairway to Heaven. Each t-shirt retails for $27 and is available exclusively at Burton US Flagship stores.

View Your Workout With Sweat Activated Technology
A soaked shirt at the end of a workout is a good sign that you put in the miles, went the distance, played really hard or just otherwise really sweated the small and big stuff. With the ViewSPORT line of t-shirts users not only see a soaked shirt, but also can get motivated by working just hard enough to have the shirt (almost magically) provide an inspiration message.
The technology behind the ViewSPORT shirts is the brainchild of chemist Ben Wood and Joe Yacano, who created a special process for their Sweat Activated Technology. The apparel that offers a variety of slogans, such as one that says, “I Am” and after a bit of time pumping iron or running it reveals, “the Competition.” Think of this as a personal way to manage your workout routine by merely looking in the mirror, and the result is what the makers call a visible measure of a wearer’s “sweat equity.” Continue reading View Your Workout With Sweat Activated Technology
