Cycling jersey

Origin

The best known jerseys are probably the yellow jersey from the Tour de France and the pink jersey from the Giro d’Italia. These jerseys were given the same color as the paper their original main sponsors (both sports newspapers) were printed on: yellow and pink paper, respectively. Many other jerseys are colored or designed after a sponsor’s logo, and some jerseys change color when a new sponsor is found.
