Atlanta — Official Team Type 1 cycling uniforms and casual apparel is now available for sale, courtesy of the team’s clothing sponsor, Champion System.

Jerseys, shorts, gloves, technical T-shirts, technical polo shirts, and cycling caps can be ordered through the “TT1 Gear” link on the team’s website, teamtype1.org.

Champion System is discounting prices on several items to help support Team Type 1’s mission.

“Champion System is proud to support not only the Team Type 1 Pro Cycling Team but the cause for which they race,” said Charlie Issendorf, Vice President of Sales for Champion System. “We’re excited to offer our high quality cycling apparel to all Team Type 1 supporters and fans.”

Prices are $70 for a Team Type 1 jersey and $70 for shorts. Available sizes range from small to triple extra large (XXXL). All items being sold are worn by Team Type 1 professional and developmental team members.

Team Type 1 founder Phil Southerland said the team is thrilled to be working with Champion System to help others “fly the colors” at local races, American Diabetes Association Tour de Cure events or casual rides on bike trails.

“Each person wearing a Team Type 1 jersey on a group ride is an opportunity for them to talk about us and the exciting things we are doing in the world of diabetes and the cycling world,” Southerland said. “Every time someone gets inspired by these clothes, they become part of our team.”

A first-year professional squad, Team Type 1 is the two-time defending champion in the eight-person corporate team division of the Race Across America (RAAM). At the Tour de Georgia presented by AT&T, Team Type 1 finished third in the team classification.
