A step-by-step guide to designing and ordering a custom cycling kit for your club or team — jersey and bibs, fabric and fit, sizing, minimum order and reliable reorders.
A custom cycling kit is a coordinated jersey and bib shorts (plus optional gilet, arm/leg warmers and accessories) made in your own design — club colours, sponsor logos and rider names — rather than off-the-shelf. The best route for a club or team is a manufacturer that sublimates your artwork into technical fabric, offers race and club fits, and supports a flexible minimum order so you can outfit a small group or a whole club. Cindra has manufactured custom cycling apparel for over 30 years, producing fully sublimated kit for clubs, teams and brands with a flexible MOQ and worldwide delivery.
What's in a cycling kit
- Jersey — aero or club fit, full-length zip, rear pockets, gripper hem.
- Bib shorts — the most important piece for comfort; a quality chamois (pad) matters more than anything else on long rides.
- Add-ons — gilet, thermal jersey, arm/leg warmers, and accessories in the same design for a complete, consistent look.
Fabric, fit and printing
- Fabric: lightweight, breathable, moisture-wicking panels, with compressive fabric for a race fit and a durable, comfortable chamois in the bibs.
- Fit: a race fit is tight and aerodynamic; a club fit is slightly relaxed for all-day comfort. Offer both so every rider is comfortable.
- Printing: full-body dye-sublimation bonds colours and sponsor logos into the fabric — no cracking, peeling or added weight, even across complex all-over designs.
How to design your cycling kit
- Pick a template or start from scratch. Set primary and secondary colours and overall layout.
- Add your identity. Club crest, sponsor logos and panel patterns — supply vector artwork (AI, EPS, PDF) for the cleanest result.
- Coordinate the pieces. Carry the design across jersey, bibs and accessories so the whole kit matches.
- Approve a digital proof before production starts.
Because it's sublimated, an intricate multi-colour design costs the same to produce as a simple one.
Sizing, minimum order and reorders
Cycling fits run closer than everyday clothing, so request a size set and let riders try before confirming. With custom cycling apparel produced at factory scale you get consistent quality, a flexible MOQ for a small group or a full club, and reliable reorders — the same colours and fabric next season so new riders match. Typical lead time is around 3–6 weeks.
Manufacturer vs no-minimum shops
No-minimum print shops suit one-off single jerseys; a manufacturer is built for clubs and teams ordering full kits at volume — with control over fabric, chamois quality and fit, a Made-in-EU option, and dependable reorders. For a club that reorders every season, that consistency is what keeps everyone matching.
