![]() Phoenix Cycling Jersey by Primal WearFirebirdPrimal Wear pays tribute to the mythical sacred bird that symbolizes rebirth. Be reborn yourself - as you emerge from the Winter and start riding again in short sleeves, this jersey will be perfect for those Spring and Summer rides to come.The myth goes that this magical bird, with a colorful plumage and a tail of gold and scarlet, has a 500 to 1000 year life-cycle, near the end of which it builds itself a nest of twigs that then ignites. Both the nest and bird burn fiercely and are reduced to ashes, from which a new young phoenix arises, reborn to live and start the circle again. The new phoenix is destined to live as long as its old self. In some stories, the new phoenix embalms the ashes of its old self in an egg made of myrrh and deposits it in the Egyptian city of Heliopolis ("sun-city" in Greek). It is said that the bird's cry is akin to a beautiful song. The Phoenix's ability to be reborn from its own ashes implies immortality, though in some stories the new Phoenix is merely the offspring of the older one. In very few stories they are able to change into people - maybe this snazzy new jersey will help with that transformation for you! Phoenix jersey features: |
