INTRODUCTION:
Being awarded the National Champion Jersey is an honour for any rider. Strict rules from the UCI and the Namibian Cycling Federation govern the manufacture and wearing of the National Champion Jersey.
This policy sets out the standardized rules across all disciplines and categories for National Cycling Champions of Namibia and outlines the design and ability to wear the national champion jersey and champion bands.

GENERAL:
1. A Namibian Championship Jersey shall be awarded to the winner, or the highest placed Namibian athlete in the National Championship events.
2. Namibian Cycling Champions may wear their jersey in all events, (including international events) in the discipline, specialty and category in which they won their title and no other event up until the day before the championship event of the following year.
3. There will be a fine of N$500.00 imposed when a rider wears the national champion’s jersey in a race discipline they have not won in, or if they are no longer the national champion.
4. A rider may wear a previously earned National Champion jersey during training, however not during racing.
5. Wearing the national champion’s jersey or piping in national colours is prohibited as soon as the anti-doping
commission, after the review described in UCI article 186 of the anti-doping rules, asserts that the rider committed an anti-doping violation and until his definitive acquittal.
NATIONAL CHAMPION STRIPES AND DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS:
Where a UCI category champion individually designs their own National Champion Jersey, the following elements must be followed:
