Jersey archive

This is still a work in progress, but it seems like for the time being we have taken it as far as we can.

As you can see the jersey designs changed substantially from the mid 1980’s onwards. Prior to that the changes were subtle over long periods of time. The older jerseys used stitched panels for the colour changes, whereas modern ones can be printed, allowing greater complexity of the design and an overall lighter weight garment.

We have photos and samples going back to the early 1980’s, but further back than that and things get a bit more murky.

The very first Macclesfield Wheelers jersey was black and white, but so far we don’t seem to be able to find any photos of it, or even have a decent description. If any of these look incorrect to you, or you find photos, please do let us know, so we can continue to create an accurate archive.
