CTC jerseys are they still available?

Post by steady eddy »

Without wishing to get in to the rebranding discussion - I have said my bit on that - does anybody know what has happened to CTC clothing? The jerseys used to be listed on the Impsport website but are no longer there - am I looking in the wrong place or have they been withdrawn pending a redesign?
Can anybody help?

Lord help us if we get 'we are cycling' jerseys. Sounds like some kind of children's television programme.

The ongoing infantilisation of the modern world shows no signs of abating.

I think this is a fair question as I too was looking to buy a top for the summer.
Surly it will be unacceptable for the management to read this and not reply.
Maybe someone will start counterfeit tops as to have a large organisation with no club strip is ridiculous.
Come on CUk get your rear in gear.

Perhaps CUK might get some inspiration from the absolutely fabulous new Olympic kit [emoji56]

Having seen the shirt above I checked out cuk on the urban dictionary and felt it not a lot better than the anagram on the tee shirt. I assume the slang was checked and to think all we used to worry about was the apostrophe.

Yes, French Connection shirt is more acceptable than advertising ones self as a CUK, did notice on the web that there is a CUK clothing company !

I think the management completely overlooked checking other meanings of their initials (another reason they need somebody with some experience at these things - ideally in-house but as they don't have it, get in a descent consultant). Ooops.

As outlined in the blurb about the forum - this is not an official means of communication with National Office and I'm sure that there would be complaints if 'management' spent all of their time reading forums on the off chance that there might be a question directed at them. Thus, if you want a question answered by National Office the best thing to do is to contact them directly.

I have emailed Guildford to see what the situation is - although it took me a long time to find the "Contact Us" button on the web site. I will, in due course post the response.
Given that there is so much fervour for the winged wheel badge I simply cannot understand why these are not offered for sale.
If head office doesn't wish to do this I do wonder if they would franchise the design to me - I would be happy to investigate funding a production run and offer them for sale, with a proportion of the selling price going back to the CTC.

IIRC the Chair's statement included something about the heritage clothing still being suipported.

I need a top for June so when can I order from steady eddy clothing as it may be quicker than an organisation of thousands with no kit available. I also love the retro idea.

One week on and no reply from Guildford - is this normal? "Is stuff still available?" is hardly a complex question to answer - yes its here and provide a link or no its not and this is why.
I have chased them.
