Cycle Zydeco "Accordion" Jersey
Cycle Zydeco "Accordion" Jersey
This Cycle Zydeco jersey was designed by Jay Bell. The jersey is a rendering of Rockin' Doopsie Jr.'s accordion. The shoulders are the bass buttons which can be as many as 120 on the left side of a chromatic button accordion. The side panels are from the decorative design found on the below of the accordion. In my opinion it is difficult to bring together round soft corners of buttons and treble clef with diamond shapes. But that is what Zydeco music and a great accordion can do.... mix it up.... keep it fluid... LL RR LL RR LL RR.

"Ride all day, play all night" This phrase perfectly sums up Cycle Zydeco and was the inspiration for the 2018 jersey artwork. Painted by Bryan Theriot of Gallery Acadie (Scott, Louisiana) the artwork is a two-piece painting depicting a day in the life of Cycle Zydeco. On the front, riders pass under live oak trees and along the Bayou Teche, soaking in the sunshine and scenery of Cajun Country. On the back side, you see the riders have left their bicycles to dance and party to Zydeco music with the full moon and cypress trees joining in. Guiding them in their journey is a badger a yellow jersey representing cyclist Bernard Hinault who participate as "le Capitaine de Cycle Zydeco" in this year's ride. Also on the jersey are three flags: the flag of Acadiana, the flag of Créoles, and the black and white flag of Brittany, France – the home region of Bernard Hinault.
