The Worlds - Coolest Jersey
http://www.wooljersey.com/
Two-time World Demi-Fond Champion (1929 & 1932) Georges Paillard is
carried in triumph after winning the 1937 Critérium des As. But look
at that jersey! Looks like it's white with rainbow stripes on the
sleeves (denoting a former world champion). The name on the chest is
"....cien ?..." Below that is "Hutchinson". But the coolest part are
the two hemispheres, fully-embroidered and complete with white
Antarctica. I wonder if the two hemispheres are meant to represent his
two World Championships?
