Scimitar Sports Partners With Nickelodeon & Viacom Consumer Products To Create Fully Licensed Cycle Jerseys and Running Vests

Bespoke sportswear specialists Scimitar Sports has teamed up with Nickelodeon & Viacom Consumer Products (NVCP) to produce a nostalgic range of fully-licensed classic sportswear!

As part of the collection, "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" cycle jerseys and run vests, and "SpongeBob SquarePants" cycle jerseys and run vests have been created in conjunction with the team at Nickelodeon. The TMNT range features the shell and breastplate of the retro 1980's Heroes in a Half Shell while the "SpongeBob SquarePants" line features the smiling face of the world's most famous yellow sponge.


Scimitar Sports launched their brand-new "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" and "SpongeBob SquarePants" ranges at The London Bike Show, which was held at London's ExCeL between Thursday 12th and Sunday 15th February 2015.

Runners and cyclists have long favoured jerseys and base layers that combine high performance with peerless design. Scimitar Sports #kitspiration marries popular nostalgia with performance-enhancing technical features, such as soft, stretchy fabrics engineered to keep runners and riders cool and dry.


With more cyclists and runners on the road than ever*, it's important to stand out. Scimitar Sports premium sportswear has been designed to enhance visibility, helping minimize the likelihood of accidents occurring.

The new nostalgia trend: it's all in the reference

Scimitar Sports is playing to the millennial love of arcane reference. "We can picture hipsters cycling to Brick Lane's Cereal Killer Café in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cycle jerseys and SpongeBob vests," says Scimitar Sports' marketing manager, Cat Ford.

"In addition to this, the new range would make fantastic training and event wear since it combines advanced technical features with standout designs destined to raise a smile of recognition.

"If you're a cyclist or runner searching for fun, individualistic items of kit, Scimitar Sports' Nickelodeon range is made for you."
