Japanese jerseys - where to buy in Tokyo / Osaka?

[malocchio]

Hey all,

My google-fu musn't be as good as it used to, and I'm struggling to find resources / samples / images of Japanese cycling jerseys...

I'm going to Osaka and Tokyo on holidays in February and want to stock up on some unique and obscure jerseys that none of my mates back in Australia would have seen before

What are the chances I'll find what I'm looking for? Are there any specific places I should go?

hmm...im jap but never seen that kind of jerseys. One thing I can tell you is J-sports online shop sells some Anime jerseys, baseball or succer team corroboration jerseys and Parody shirts (J Sports is like ESPN in Japan). These must be available in Japan only. However, you can only get these at online shop and they deliver only to Japanese address. Also, kinda expensive like ¥10,000-¥12,000 (about US$120-$145 per). If you wish me to keep some or send for you, maybe I can.

"The Master of the Grupetto"

"友の会" can be translated as "Friendship Company" and "Kaicho" stands for "the master" Well, simply this is parody of Robbie McEwen. McEwen Friendhip Company = Grupetto / Kaicho(Master) = McEwen. McEwen often forms Grupetto by his leadership, that's why. You see mountain behind.


"Bang you" Parody of Contador, I guess.

Awesome thanks for that! I'll have a proper look through the website - seems like some cool stuff there :-)

Being australian, the McEwen t-shirt would be brilliant as a jersey - I'll have to keep on looking :-)
