We are judge and party, so let’s say it straight away. This comparison therefore sticks to public facts, collected on 19 October 2026 from sublisport.fr and from our own site, with a link to each source. Good news for comparing: both show their prices excluding VAT. Where SubliSport is better, we say so. Where a piece of information is not published, we say that too.

How to read it. Both price lists exclude VAT and are per identical design, but their tiers differ: SubliSport uses 10-24, 25-49, 50-74, 75-99, 100-149 and 150+ pieces; we use 1, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 250 and 500 pieces. The jerseys are not identical (cut, fabric, zip): compare the product pages too. SubliSport prices are those of its product pages on 19/10/2026.
As both price lists exclude VAT, the comparison is direct: same basis, same VAT depending on your country.
A rider joining mid-season, a torn jersey, a test before launching the series: everything can be ordered from 1 piece, in the same design. SubliSport asks for 10 pieces per item.
Send a photo: the AI reproduces your design. Or write your instructions: it creates the design. Team mode shows each rider’s name and number, and a built-in editing tool fixes your artwork and logos. A design made in the configurator carries no design fee.
From 20 pieces, our entry-level jersey costs less than the Vars, and our public price list goes down to €20.67 excl. VAT from 500 pieces. SubliSport’s public price list stops at the 150-piece tier.
Our cycling jerseys come in kids sizes from 4 to 14, handy for a youth cycling school. The range also includes skinsuits, trisuits, 3/4 bib knickers and leg warmers.
A comparison that never proves the other side right is not a comparison. Here are SubliSport’s advantages, and what we have to set against them when we have something.
