EF Pro Cycling and ASSOS have unveiled a limited-edition “Spooky” collection for the 2026 Tour de France, building upon the success of their alien-themed Giro d’Italia kit. This collaboration introduces a distinctive design featuring inverted logos and extraterrestrial motifs, available exclusively during the Tour’s rest days.
Design and Inspiration
The “Spooky” kit showcases a green and blue color scheme, with the ASSOS and EF logos inverted to represent an alternate perception of Earth by extraterrestrial life forms. Notably, the flipped “EF” logo resembles “ET,” reinforcing the extraterrestrial theme. Additionally, the right shoulder of the jersey displays the GPS coordinates of ASSOS’ headquarters in Ticino, Switzerland, humorously suggesting a return point for any hypothetical abductions.
