Brooklyn (cycling team)

Brooklyn Chewing Gum were an Italian cycling team during the 1970s and early 80s. It was a classics team and featured many of the great classic riders such as Roger de Vlaeminck, who won four Paris–Roubaix.

A documentary called A Sunday in Hell features the team during the 1976 Paris–Roubaix.

The 'Brooklyn' hat worn by Spike Lee as Mars Blackmon in She's Gotta Have It and early Nike Air Jordan commercials referred to the Italian cycling team, not the New York borough of the same name.
