Our 2027 jersey is finally here, and I couldn’t be happier. Part of my role as inGamba’s creative director is to oversee our different jersey designs alongside designer Andrew Reed. It’s a ton of fun, to be honest, as we swap different color combinations in and out in our effort to produce yet another distinctive kit.
For the new color, we chose burgundy—or bordeaux, if you’d rather debate it over a glass of wine. And it has a story all its own.
The idea started last year when Eros Poli and I were driving around Italy scouting out the Milan-San Remo trip. We started talking about jersey design, and he mentioned that one color he’d always thought would work well was a deep wine red.
It stuck with me.
inGamba is about the ride, of course, but we’re also about the table, and wine is central to so many of our trips, whether it’s in our spiritual home of Lecchi, in Alentejo, or somewhere else entirely.
So, a deep, rich burgundy was the perfect fit—as are the Q36.5 Gregarius jerseys and bib shorts, which use the brand’s proprietary mesh knitted fabric to optimize ventilation and aerodynamics without sacrificing comfort. Anyone who joins us on a trip will have their own jersey and bibs, plus a cap, gloves and socks, waiting when they arrive. (And yes, we have a women’s kit again this year.)
I loved seeing our 2027 kit in person when I joined inGamba’s own Sancho da Cruz and Katie Bolling for a photo shoot in and around Lecchi earlier this month. The color is elegant, distinctive, and looks great on any rider.
On the note of burgundy, we’re also launching an entirely new trip in the Burgundy region of France next year, which makes our 2027 color scheme even more fitting. This trip is very close to my heart, as I’ve called France home for the past 35 years, and I’m thrilled that we’re offering more destinations in my adopted country. Needless to say, I can’t wait to join Eros—in our new burgundy Q36.5 kits—as we roll through the region’s endless vineyards by day and enjoy some of the world’s greatest wines by night.
See you on the road.
