T-Mobile to Tour de France with special jersey

The T-Mobile team has presented a new racing kit on the eve of the Rund um den Henninger Turm race in Frankfurt on May 1. The new clothing line - only slightly changed - will be worn be the T-Mobile riders at the Tour de France to showcase the team's "Schools for Africa" charity initiative, which aims to give children in southern Africa access to education. The project is a cooperation of the United Nations Children’s Fund, the mobile communications company T-Mobile and the cycling team.

A thin stripe in 'UNICEF blue' differentiates the promotional jersey from the usual kit. The stripe, featuring the UNICEF logo, sits above the larger white "T-Mobile" stripe on the jersey’s front. On the jersey’s left front are the words: "We ride for: Schools for Africa"
