Looking back to 2011.
We made our first original jersey as Circles.
Through the Circles Racing Club, a community of people who simply wanted to enjoy cycling regardless of bike type or genre began to grow, and we saw more friends wearing the check-pattern jerseys that have now become a staple for us.
We’ve changed the pattern every year, and thankfully, we’ve been able to create five jerseys so far, with many of you resonating with our vision and wearing them. I am incredibly happy that some of you have been looking forward to the announcement of this season's new model. Although this announcement is quite late, today we are officially unveiling the new jersey design.
Last December, we celebrated our 9th anniversary. With new friends joining us in the spring, we are currently pushing hard toward our 10th anniversary.
Gratefully, our connections with many people and communities have expanded, and all sorts of things have become intricately intertwined. However, our core essence remains in a world that is as simple as it gets: hopping on a bicycle to enrich our daily lives.
For this edition, with the cooperation of Director Motonobu of EDIT—who has helped us in many ways, including designing RAL products and organizing running events at RAL COMMUNE—we have moved away from the previous check-pattern image and created something simple that we feel represents the true Circles.
Starting this year, we have intentionally decided not to use the name Circles Racing Club, nor have we set any team member perks as we have in the past. As our Circles Original Jersey, we have built this from scratch with a simpler sentiment in mind so that you can enjoy your cycling life.
We simply look forward to seeing all of you out there, enjoying your rides in this jersey, whether at races, on tours, camping rides, or just during your weekend spins.
