Suarez's Tour de France jerseys have so far had a clear style: classic colors, historical references, understated graphics. The Combine 25 collection breaks with this. Instead of nostalgia, there is abstract geometry, stepped typography and minimalist compositions - inspired by racing posters and modern poster art.
The collection
The central piece is the Maillot Jaune 25 in the familiar Tour yellow version, alongside the Combine 25 with a graphic reinterpretation that combines mountain landscapes and official Tour elements. Both are available in men's and women's versions.
The designs are officially licensed by ASO — Suarez is one of the few non-European manufacturers with this approval. Legendary climbs and the heroes who conquer them are at the center of the graphics — abstracted, not illustrated.
Technically, the collection relies on the proven Suarez construction: lightweight fabrics for warm conditions, full zipper length, three back pockets plus safety pocket, silicone waistband. The fit is designed for touring and training rides, not time trials.
Design change
The visual leap is remarkable. Where the 2019 collection for the 100th anniversary of the Maillot Jaune relied on direct historical references, Combine 25 takes the opposite approach: less literal, more interpreted. Stepped letters and dynamic effects replace the classic Tour symbols.
The collection is priced at around 60 euros — a fraction of the price of comparable licensed products from other brands.
Assessment
Santini remains the official Tour supplier for the race jerseys in the peloton. Suarez serves the consumer market with its own design signature. The result: jerseys that smell like the Tour but don't look like replicas. For fans who want to wear a licensed Tour jersey without looking like a TV viewer in a souvenir store.
