| JOHANNESBURG, South Africa – 26 May, 2022 – Fans of Team Qhubeka have the opportunity to further get behind the team with the exciting announcement of the launch of the Ekoi Supporters Jersey, which is now available to order.
The jersey features the iconic 2022 design which is modeled on an African horizon, with the hand up a sign of a future of great things to come.
This launch follows that of the Ekoi team racing kit as well as the hugely popular off-bike ‘Hand Up’ apparel from The Vandal.
All of these items are available via further special offers for members who join the Team Qhubeka Community, through which they further can lend their support to the team into the future.
Features:
The Team Qhubeka replica jersey manufactured by Ekoi undergoes the same design rigor as those designed for the pro teams including: laser cut sleeve, technical aspects, comfort and breathability.
Two complementary fabrics – made in Italy – are used in the design which includes micro perforated fabric on the front, sides and back, 3 back pockets and a separate composition for the the hemless sleeves.
Microdry fibre captures the sweat and removes it quickly to keep the body dry while the sleeves are Ekoi Second Skin fibre, which is laser-cut fibre, silicone-free and hemless for optimal comfort.
- 3 classic pockets with elastic at the top of the pockets for a perfect fit.
- Invisible, self-locking YKK zipper.
- Zipper covers at the bottom of the shirt to prevent chafing.
- Officer collar.
- Elastic band with silicone inserts at the back of the shirt for a perfect fit.
- Bevelled cut for comfort.
The supporters jersey is 100% polyester and is available in 7 sizes: XS / S / M / L / XL / 2XL / 3XL
