A new supplier Endura and a new stockist York Cycleworks. To give everyone a chance to get hold of the new kit and make sure you get the right size, there will be an opening evening on Monday 22nd August 7.30-9.30 at York Cycleworks. There will be Endura garments to try on for size, you will be able to look at different garments, order and pay for clothing on the night. Everyone is welcome so please come along.
We have reserved a production slot with Endura so you will be able to wear your new kit for Winter, collection will be from the Cycleworks Shop.

The kit looks good. Is there any likelihood of being able to call into Cycleworks on the Saturday before the 22nd to try stuff on? I work in Coventry during the week so won't be able to make the 22nd?
Is it too late to comment on design? Sorry if i missed chance to take part in consultation.
My preference would be to lose the "rose" (i think) decorations on every letter O. And replace the pocket badge with a highly reflective patch!
I think i did manage to suggest this on the survey earlier in year, as an alternative to reflective trim on winter garments, a club branded hi-viz gilet might be popular.
Again apols if i have missed announcement on this but does the fact kit being stocked by Cycleworks mark a change in relationship with current partner Cycleheaven. And does that leave people in tricky situation with respect to racing in old kit which carries their logo - iirc there are some regs which say it is ok for certain number of years?
There maybe a few of you that can't make the open night on the 22nd. Don't worry York Cycleworks has its own race kit if you need to try for sizing. Contact the shop and ask for Fraz 01904 626664
So these jerseys are the same as the Cycleworks jerseys with different colours? Great, I'll pop in and try some.

One good thing about the rose is that it shows we're from Yorkshire, i.e. not the Cliftons in Nottingham or Bristol.

I think the bit that shows you're from Yorkshire is the word "York"
Sorry I missed the chance to comment on the kit design, but if it's not finalised, wouldn't it be better to have the Clifton name horizontally on the back rather than vertically.
I like the white rose and everything else about it.
I like the design of the new kit, a big improvement on the current design. Hope the jerseys are a better fit than the current ones as that was my biggest complaint. I assume the new jersey is made from man made fabrics rather than a merino wool mix?
... does the fact kit being stocked by Cycleworks mark a change in relationship with current partner Cycleheaven. And does that leave people in tricky situation with respect to racing in old kit which carries their logo .. ?
Can anyone comment?
Are Cycleheaven going to be listed as club sponsor for next year?
Presumably it was deliberate decision to
1. Remove Cycleheaven logo from new design
2. Ask different shop to hold stock
If Cycleheaven not listed as sponsor will our racing members have to cover up old logo or replace kit at some point?
Otherwise i can't see why we are doing this given old kit is < 5 years old.
