Given the dominance and popularity of Castelli, it's a great shame that the number of jerseys on my site really doesn't truely represent their history in the sport. So for 2016, I've decided to make Castelli a target for getting some additional Castelli team and retro jerseys from this fine Italian brand online!

Castelli are well known for their trademark scorpion logo - Lo Scorpione - which was first designed by Maurizio Castelli in 1974 and the company (sensibly in my opinion) has stuck with it.  Castelli traces its roots back to Vittore Gianni who through the years clothed AC Milan, Juventus, and the Milan Ballet.

I'm pretty sure I was first made aware of it via the Belgian Hitachi team that boasted two-time world champion Claude Criquielion amongst their ranks. Later that was reinforced when I noticed the Scorpion on the 1989 Tour de France jerseys during that epic edition of the race.

Castelli themselves are understandably happy to shout about their history and this video is very good plotting some of the key moments.
