Schwinn team jersey?

[Nothin-fancy]

I just picked up this jersey and it's long sleeved mate from the junk shop. I was never really a Schwinn fan and didn't understand why they were so popular in my neck of the woods. But I couldn't resist these. The Charlie tuna on the back is ridiculous and made me smile.

I know Schwinn was more of an American thing, so maybe this isn't the right place to ask this... Did Schwinn actually have a team back in the 90's and does anyone know what year this might be from?

I can't tell you the date, but I would guess mid to late 90s. In the mid 90s schwinn tried to save the company by developing mountain bikes. Their Moab was a good start, but things got really serious with the homegrown series. Some of those were made by yeti, just Schwinn badging

Thanks for the help. I saw that Overend raced Schwinn's early in his pro career. I didn't know that.

Those Schwinn's are pretty sweet. People want eye watering money for them on FleaBay. I get some where made by Yeti. But I mean, why not just get a real Yeti for a smidge more???
