The Rapha Summer Sale is going on now, so I’ve been spending a lot of time looking over the line of clothing and trying to figure out which pieces to buy. I hadn’t given the Circle of Death jersey a lot of thought since white doesn’t really look good on my non-continental-racer frame, but then I noticed something interesting.
Rapha says this jersey was “inspired by legendary Pyrenean cols” but I don’t think that’s true. I’m pretty sure it was inspired by Admiral James T. Kirk. Here’s my proof.
And here’s the original design work that the Rapha guys clearly stole from some Federation database. Probably thanks to a Klingon.
Is there a red jersey for pack fodder?
Ships with an even lighter, Summer weight embro called Final Frontier.
Dude - don’t wear the red jersey!
Those guys always die in the first 15 minutes.
