Mars Flandria Retro Jersey

Whilst Roger De Vlaeminck is no doubt most famous for wearing the bold, iconic and unmistakable Brooklyn retro jersey, before that he was in the Flandria - Mars team for the 1969 to 1971 seasons. De Vlaeminck won his national championships as well as Het Volk, Fleche-Wallone, Kuurne-Brussel-Kuurne and Liège-Bastogne-Liège during those three seasons.

We are delighted to be able to offer this accurate version and must thank both Flandria Bikes and Mars Chocolate UK for their cooperation with this project.

We first sold the Flandria de Clerk jersey in 2008, which was followed by the Flandria Mars in 2011. It gives us great satisfaction to introduce a new version for the 2016 with a refreshed design whilst keeping the jersey as accurate as possible (ie no full zip cutting through the team name). Additionally, we've added a few modern touches that add value, like the additional zipped rear pocket and internal silicon gripper as well as keeping the essential three rear pockets.

We quite often trawl the Internet for archive photos of cycling's golden age and actually Flandria Bikes have a fabulous history section that is well worth a visit. They've also done a tremendous amount of great work in researching their heros; riders like Briek Schotte, Herman Van Springel, Freddy Maertens and of course Roger De Vlaeminck.
