The Maglia Nera Hoodie is a lighthearted homage to the iconic black jersey from the Giro d’Italia, one of cycling’s three grand tours. While leader jerseys celebrate the top finishers, the Maglia Nera was awarded to the cyclist with the slowest cumulative time, making them the last-place finisher. Born in the 1940s, this jersey became a symbol of grit and resilience for riders who, knowing they wouldn’t reach the podium, proudly embraced the Maglia Nera as a badge of honor.

Although no longer an official tradition, the Maglia Nera continues to remind us of the tough, determined spirit that defines pro cycling. It celebrates those who give it their all for the team, no matter the result – a true nod to the unsung heroes of the sport.

Crafted for both cyclists and casual wearers, the Maglia Nera Hoodie is part of our cycling clothing line, offering premium comfort with a subtle, stylish nod to Velo history.
