Santini brings it back into the collection <strong>Santini x Brooklyn<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The team<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The team started in 1970 as Dreher. In 1972 they changed their name to <strong>Roger De Vlaeminck<\/strong>, and later that year, chewing gum maker Perfetti took over under the name <strong>Brooklyn Chewing Gum<\/strong>. The riders rode on Gios bicycles in the typical \u2018blue Gios\u2019. Between 1973 and 1977 the team won major races, including the Giro in 1975. Vlaeminck won Paris-Roubaix four times and became \u2018Monsieur Roubaix\u2019. In 1977 Perfetti retired and the team disappeared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1350\" height=\"1350\" src=\"https:\/\/cyclingreview.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/bk-b.jpg\" alt=\"Black-and-white photo of Roger De Vlaeminck in the striped Brooklyn shirt, next to a contact print\" class=\"wp-image-3440\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cyclingreview.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/bk-b.jpg 1350w, https:\/\/cyclingreview.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/bk-b-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cyclingreview.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/bk-b-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cyclingreview.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/bk-b-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/cyclingreview.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/bk-b-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cyclingreview.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/bk-b-12x12.jpg 12w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1350px) 100vw, 1350px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Roger De Vlaeminck in the original Brooklyn outfit.

Fun fact: Spike Lee already had a character wearing the Brooklyn cap in 1986.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.santinicycling.com\/blogs\/notizie\/brooklyn-cycling-team\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Santini<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Santini creates a collection inspired by the Italian Brooklyn team of the seventies, featuring a modern jersey, two woollen sweaters, including a tribute to Roger De Vlaeminck, and casual clothing.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3439,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"cr_score":"","cr_oordeel":"","cr_plus":"","cr_min":"","cr_prijs":"","cr_koop_url":"","footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[7,392],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3441","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-kleding","category-nieuws"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cyclingreview.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3441","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cyclingreview.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cyclingreview.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cyclingreview.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cyclingreview.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3441"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/cyclingreview.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3441\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cyclingreview.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3439"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cyclingreview.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3441"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cyclingreview.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3441"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cyclingreview.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3441"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
