Which New Zealand cycling jerseys do you have?

New Zealand turns up again and again in our store's searches, and the choice is wide. The silver fern is one of the most widely recognised symbols of New Zealand, and sports teams have worn it since the 1880s, so it is the obvious thing to put on a jersey.

The Men's New Zealand Silver Fern Short Sleeve jersey is black with a big white fern up the front and small flags on the chest and sleeve. There is also a long sleeve version and a Women's Silver Fern jersey, which is cut for the women's body shape.

The Silver Fern 2 Piece Cycling Kit adds matching knicks, with 45 mm silicone leg grippers and a 9D contoured silicone gel chamois according to the product page. You can also buy the Silver Fern Gel Padded Cycling Bib on its own.

Which Irish and Italian cycling jerseys do you have?

Smiling rider in a white jersey with one green and one orange sleeve and a green shamrock, sitting at an outdoor table by the sea — The Lucky To Be Irish jersey, with a shamrock on the chest.

Ireland's flag is a tricolour of green, white and orange, and our designs lean on the shamrock as well. The Men's Ireland Eire Shamrock jersey comes in a long sleeve cut and a women's cut. For something lighter in tone, try the Men's Lucky To Be Irish jersey or the Women's Three Leaf Clover jersey.

Italy has one of the longest lists, which feels right for a country with this much cycling history. The Men's Classic Italia jersey is the understated pick, and the matching Classic Italia 2 Piece Cycling Kit is black with a small tricolour shield on the chest, stripes on the sleeve and shields on the legs. Other options include the Italia Flag Pro jersey, the Classic Italia Striped jersey and the Sites of Italy jersey.

How do the flag jersey styles differ?

Three styles run through the collection, and the name on the product page usually tells you which one you are looking at.

National Flag designs carry the flag in very different ways. The Bold Canada Maple Leaf jersey is red and white with CANADA running down the chest and a huge maple leaf at the hem, while the Classic Italia kit keeps it to a small shield.

Team Icon designs belong to our World Countries range. Many of them go well past the jersey: the Team Germany Icon jersey, for example, has a matching bib and bib tights. The UK, Canada, France, Japan and Belgium Team Icon jerseys work the same way, and the Team UK Icon bib shows the idea, with a Union Jack at the cuff.

Soccer designs take their cue from the football pitch. The Men's Japan Soccer jersey and Women's Japan Soccer jersey are one pair among several, and most of these come in both cuts.

A few designs go for culture over colours. The Guatemala Tikal jersey, Peru Caral Pyramids jersey and Ancient Greece jersey all belong here.

Which flag jerseys come in a women's cut?

Quite a few, and they are cut for the women's body shape, not just resized. National designs include the Women's New Zealand Silver Fern jersey, the Women's Ireland Eire Shamrock jersey, the Women's Sweden National Flag jersey and the Women's Iceland Viking jersey. The soccer range adds women's versions for Italy, Portugal, France, Brazil and others, and the Women's Mount Fuji jersey gives Japan a scenic option.

Why do cyclists ride in their country's colours?

Part of it comes from racing. At the UCI Road World Championships, riders compete in national teams rather than the trade teams they ride for during the rest of the season, so national colours mean something to anyone who follows the sport. The rest is simpler. Your parents came from somewhere, you rode there on holiday, or you just like having something to talk about at the coffee stop.

We would guess a Saturday bunch here already has a couple of flags on it. A shared flag also makes a good kit for a small group. Designs such as our Swiss Alps Switzerland jersey and Iceland Viking jersey also make a fine reminder of a trip.

How do you choose the right size for a flag jersey?

Our sizes run small, so check the size chart on this page before you choose. The chart works from your body, so have your chest, waist and hip measurements to hand. Our jerseys have a club fit cut, and our cycling jersey fit guide explains how close that sits. If you land between two sizes, size up.

Summer rides call for short sleeves, so most riders will want the short sleeve cut. Everything is made to order, and that matters if you want a flag for a set date such as a group ride or a Christmas present, so order early. Free shipping applies on orders over A$125. Non-customised items come with 60-day store-credit returns, as our returns policy explains, and customised orders are final.
