Michigan Cycling Team Annual Kit Order
Hey everyone,
Last year I posted a link to the Michigan Cycling Team's kit order for alumni and friends and it was greated with a warm reception.
The Michigan Cycling team is a Club-sport who competes in the Midwest Collegiate Cycling Conference. Other teams in our conference include MSU, OSU, Notre Dame, Indiana, Wisconsin, Purdue, Illinois, Case Western, Louisville, Northwestern, Cincinatti, Marquette, Miami (NTM), and a bevy of other small schools. Our conference also features a few schools that consider cycling a varsity sport including Marian and Lindenwood.
The kit order is once again live and this year they're added a couple more options including a special edition "Great Lakes" jersey.
These are the same exact uniforms that the team will be racing in next spring.
More information about the team can be found here :http://www.umcycling.org/
Below is a copy and paste of the information lifted from the team's facebook page:
Prices do tend to run a bit high, but such is the nature of being a small fish in the big pond of paying university royalties and the like. Any proceeds go towards helping get team member's to races and most importantly nationals.
Greetings Michigan Alumni, Parents, and Friends!
It's that time of year again. The leaves are changing, the air is cooling, Harbaugh has the football team rolling, and its time to stock up on all of that great Michigan cycling gear!
This year we have our classic Maize and Blue jerseys as well as some fun additions, including a special edition Great Lakes jersey and a warm winter jacket. Not only are you guaranteed to look great, but every purchase helps a Michigan student get to a race.

Go Blue!

I don't need to give OSU drivers another excuse to run me off the road :)
Unfortunately, there are plenty of them...

Since you mentioned this last year, I got shorts and both a long and short sleeve jersey. Will be buying additional shorts this year.
Cheers!

I'll see if I can post them straight from the website. Here are a few pics; there are many more products on the store.

That was my first reaction as well to the Great Lakes alternate. It'd be hard to argue that they didn't draw a LOT of inspiration from there.

Great Lakes jerseys... figuring out the Primal/gear sign-up process to get one... great kit!

Love it. Hope the sizing is close to accurate. Ordered the Great Lakes jersey and some bibs

I see the jerseys just fine. I have an order ready to go, but I was wondering if the team has any new old stock mens bibs size XL they want to sell? I love the mitten jersey and warmers, but the bibs are pretty bland and costly, I'd rather give money right to the club if possible.
October 12th, 2016 at 9:28 PM ^
I'm not currently a member of the club (graduated in '14), so I'm not sure on that one. I don't think they usually order too many extras, but theres always a chance that someone ordered extras or something. Rob, the guy who is in charge of the kit orders, may be able to help you out. His email is rgburnet at umich dot edu

I would love to see someone try to squeeze a pair of shoulder pads into a cycling jersey. Not to mention the pockets would be terrible for ballcarriers as defenders could get ahold of them from behind easier.

Wow. These are fucking beautiful. I am on the club triathlon team at UC Berkeley and I am so tempted to order this...colors are similar anyway right?
October 13th, 2016 at 8:12 AM ^
I picked up a Berkeley T-shirt in "Maize and Blue" when I was on your campus last. Go ahead!! In my mind Michigan and Berkeley are like sister/brother institutions anyways.

*Time for my yearly joke about cyclists*
I look forward to seeing you all in these around Ann Arbor blowing through stop signs and ignoring traffic lights.
/s ride safe, folks

Thanks for this! I ordered the blue official jersey last year, and it is absolutely the best bike jersey I own. Full zip front is fantastic, and the rubber grip liner on the bottom hem is invaluable. I'm strongly tempted to buy that Great Lakes jersey.
For those who may not have ordered from Primal before, the sizing does tend to run a bit snug/small. If you are even close to an "in-between" size, I'd recommend ordering a size up.

Thanks Raptor for making this available. Ordered some gear for the cold winter months of biking here in the Chicago area. Do they have Michigan biking helmets?

Just a comment about sizing:
I ordered a jersey last year... the sweet maize short sleeve with the big block 'M'!
I ordered a large because that's the size of every cycling jersey I own. I'm 5'10" and a fit 175.
The large was too small for me.
I called Primal to see if I could exchange for an XL and couldn't because this was a custom order.
I ended up selling on eBay to break even as the jersey was not wearable. For anyone else, recommend going to a local shop and trying on some Primal gear before ordering. just my $0.02 worth, your mileage may vary so to speak.

and before that: the team is great to have extended the opportunity to friends, family, and alumni.
I am extremely happy to pay for the opportunity to ride the roads in Pennsylvania with block M's on display.
