Bergamo-based brand Santini has started dressing the team Unibet Tietema Rockets last year, a collaboration that evidently satisfied both parties. To the point that not only has it been renewed for 2025, but also going beyondThis year, in fact, Santini has also decided to create an official kit dedicated to the many fans of the Dutch team.
From YouTube to the dream of the Tour
The history of what is now theUnibet Tietema Rockets The team is truly unique. In 2019, former Dutch rider Bas Tietema and two friends launched the YouTube channel “Tour de Tietema”, documenting that year's Tour de France. The channels It was so successful (it now has 190.000 members) that in 2023 the three boys decided to take the big step, founding the continental team Tour de Tietema-Unibet, which in 2024 made the leap to the professional ranksTheir declared purpose is only one: participate in the Tour de France as soon as possible, where it all began.
For such a young but ambitious team, Santini has made available the best of its collection. This season the riders will wear the same model of jersey worn by the Tour leader (good omen), from the Custom Series line. A absolutely race jersey, the maximum in aerodynamics and technology of the company.
As for the shorts, the choice fell on the Unibet Tietema Rockets team on the model Nova, made with compressive fabric and FoamBio seat pad, always from the Custom Series line. Santini's supply for the team also includes much more. First and foremost, of course, a street body and then all the accessories needed to compete at the highest levels: windbreakers, sleeveless jackets, arm warmers, leg warmers, scaldacollo, gloves e bonnet.
New design, with an extra rocket
Already in 2024 the design of the uniforms had been studied by Santini in close collaboration with the team, very careful about its recognisability in the group. This was also the case this year, with a result that pays homage to the team spirit: fun and performance.
The colors are always light blue, fuchsia, purple and yellow, but with blue and purple dominating the front, while yellow and fuchsia stand out on the lower back. Furthermore, in 2025 a new symbol has been introduced, the rocket, which takes flight on the sides of the shirt.
A kit dedicated to all Tietema fans
As we mentioned at the beginning, this season the collaboration between Santini and the team has taken a step forward. Given the Unibet Tietema Rockets team's huge fan base, a kit dedicated to enthusiasts has been created, a replica of the outfit used by athletes. These garments, starting from the mesh, have the same quality as the official ones, but with a more comfortable fit and suitable for everyoneA way to give everyone the chance to feel part of a dream that started on YouTube and is headed straight to the Tour de France.
