Throwback Thursday...... When We Were Young

[Shebeen]

Referring to the Maties jersey design??

 

Funny story - Fourie Kotze tells the tale that he was ONE of the designers of the jersey!!!!

I'm thinking...how many people did it take to design such a fugly shirt????  Mind you, we were, and still are, proud of that jersey.  I still have mine - pure wool!!

here's a later edition of the maties cycling jersey, worn by a then future SA XCO champ

Can't remember the race (may have been nationals in PMB). Year 1992, I think.
