	1935 World Championship Men's Jersey The 1935 World Championships saw an extremely rigorous race of 216km through the punishing cobblestone country roads of Belgium. After more than six hours in the saddle, Jean Aerts rewarded the patience of his home crowd by winning the race with the dominating margin of nearly three minutes over his nearest rival and more than nine minutes ahead of the third place finisher.

	Women's Phebus In 1896, Henri Grey created one of the most ethereal bicycle advertisement posters of the era. Set on a celestial stage beneath dazzling, sharp-edged silver sun rays, a divine cherub is seen in dramatic descent, pursuing a Phebus bicycle wheel. Grey achieves suspenseful tension illustrating the wheel just out of reach. Our design elucidation is our first women's jersey derived from The Horton Collection. Price: $74.90 Size:

	Men's Cataluna In 1943, while the world was at war, bicycle racing persisted in Spain. That year the 23rd Vuelta Catalonia, one of Spain's oldest races, was won by Spaniard Julian Berrendero. The official poster, illustrated by Pallare, richly captures the spirit of the race and denotes Pirelli's 3rd sponsorship of the event. Today, the prestige of the Vuelta Catalonia continues as it is a part of the UCI Pro Tour program, a designation confined exclusively to cycling's most important international races.

	Men's Suze 1957 Paris 6 Day Race Poster Five-time Tour de France winner Jacques Anquetil, teamed with Andre Darrigade and Ferdinando Terruzzi, set a blistering pace to win on the final night of the 1957 Paris 6 Day Race. The artist Charieras vividly captures the element of speed and competition with a distinctly wild 1950's color palette. Price: $79.90 Size: Jerseys run small — order one size up

	The Scream Edvard Munch's extraordinary expressionist series of paintings titled "The Scream" has captured viewers' imagination since it was first painted in 1893. It has also been a favorite of art thieves, with versions having been stolen in both 1994 and 2004. Now you can have your very own, but watch out for would-be jersey thieves in the back of the pack!

	The Flying Tigers The 1st American Volunteer Group (AVG) is better known by their more popular title, The Flying Tigers. Organized in the early years of World War II, this group of volunteers fought with the Chinese against the Japanese invasion with a considerable amount of success. Although their fighter, the Curtiss P-40, was outclassed in dogfighting with the very agile Mitsubishi Zero, a change in tactics and approach to air combat somewhat evened the odds. What you might not know about this unit, however, is the hidden history of the squadron insignia... it was designed by the Disney studios. Price: $79.90 Size: Jerseys run small — order one size up

	The Grinch Dr. Seuss (Theodor Seuss Geisel) created How the Grinch Stole Christmas! in 1957. The Grinch, a bitter, cave-dwelling creature with a heart "two sizes too small," lives on snowy Mount Crumpit, a steep, 3,000-foot high mountain just north of Whoville, home of the merry and warm-hearted Whos. His only companion is Max, his faithful dog. One fateful day from his perch high atop Mount Crumpit, the Grinch can hear the noisy Christmas festivities that take place in Whoville...the rest is history.

	Cat in the Hat Theodor Geisel, writing as Dr. Seuss, created The Cat in the Hat in response to the May 24, 1954 Life magazine article by John Hersey, titled "Why Do Students Bog Down on First R? A Local Committee Sheds Light on a National Problem: Reading." As the story is told The Cat in the Hat brings a cheerful, exotic and exuberant form of chaos to a household of two young children one rainy day while their mother is out. Bringing with him two creatures appropriately named Thing One and Thing Two, the Cat performs all sorts of wacky tricks to amuse the children, with mixed results.

	Black Cat Fireworks What unspeakable things did you blow up with Black Cat Fireworks? Black Cat Fireworks brand was introduced in the US in the 1940's by Li & Fung, one of the largest and most respected Trading Companies in China, and is now the oldest and most highly recognized fireworks brand worldwide. In China, "black cats" are a symbol of "luck and good fortune." Our jersey design features the early graphic theme -- the red star flash, bursting firecrackers and text with the most contemporary and universally iconic theme.

	Cycles Brillant A.M. Cassandre designed this poster for Cycles Brillant in 1923, fusing together the styles of Cubism and Surrealism. His designs are memorable for their simple and clever graphic solutions, constantly taunting the detailed style of Art Nouveau. Cassandre stated, "A poster is to be viewed on the street." Merely wearing this art as a jersey is an affirmation and extension of the artist's original intent. Price: $79.90 Size: Jerseys run small — order one size up

	"Glory to Soviet Fliers!" This Soviet propaganda poster, circa 1958, served as a vehicle to pay homage to the Motherland's fearless air pilots. The art illustrates Soviet air superiority and employs the Soviet Air force flag which was officially approved on August 29, 1924 by the Communist Party. It was known as Aerodrome flag of aviation detachments and formations. Its blue field and 14-ray rising sun, similar to Japan's, employs the red star and yellow hammer and sickle. The back of our jersey goes one step beyond, illustrating the fliers walking away toward glory! Price: $79.90 Size: Jerseys run small — order one size up

	Chat Noir Le Chat Noir was a famous 19th century cabaret in the notoriously bohemian Montmartre district of Paris. It was opened 18 November, 1881 at 84 Boulevard Rouchechouart by the artist Rodolph-Alexandre Salis, and closed in 1897 (much to the disappointment of Picasso and others). It was here that the Salon des Arts Incoh�rents (Salon of Incoherent Arts), and the "shadow plays" got their start. The alluring and iconic poster was composed by Salis in 1896.

	Betty Boop Betty Boop first appeared in the 6th Talkartoon starring Bimbo, entitled "Dizzy Dishes" (1930). Grim Natwick was the first animator to draw Betty, who had not yet been officially named. He took inspiration for Betty's spit curls from a song sheet of Helen Kane, "Boop Oop a Doop Girl." Her first starring role was in "Betty Coed" (1931), which marked the first time the name Betty was connected with the character. In 1934, Betty began appearing in comic strips drawn by Bud Counihan (though they were signed with Max Fleischer's name). Price: $74.90 Size: Jerseys run small — order one size up Style:
