The jersey is yellow and light orange, with the blue, red, and white MWABA logo on the front. The back has pink cherry blossoms, says "Join the TANDEMONIUM at gomwaba.org!" and has the Terrapin bike store logo. The sleeves have tandems on them and the sides say gomwaba.org. Short-sleeve jerseys will probably cost between $45-$55 each, and long-sleeve jerseys will probably cost between $55-$65 each.
