Um, what's with all the girls in pink skirts and fishnets on their knees?

I do like the logo.

So, we were playing with that design for a little while, just about the time we decided to advertise on BikePortland.org. So, we decided to toss it up there and see if anyone noticed. Several people commented on it, and generally positively too, but in the end we decided it still wasn't quite what we were looking for.

Sooooo, we spent some time talking to graphic artists and had two work up pre-lim sketches for us, at which point we chose one to go with. Her design are about 90% of the way there now, and so far we're pretty happy with how they are turning out. We're still tweaking color, etc, but I'm generally happy with it.

It will start to show up on waterbottles, t-shirts, hats, etc as the summer progresses. Jeff is working on a redesign of the website, at which point the logo, look & feel of the site will change to match.

It's quite an involved process, but it's been exciting too!

There will be. The "other" designer is doing a beautiful graphic that we're planning on using as the basis of a new TE jersey. I'm excited, because it will be VERY different from the old TE jersey.

Cool...I can't wait to see them Susan! Being a new cyclist, I need to start collecting jerseys and I'd like to buy some that mean something to me instead of just random ones. Any idea when they will be on the website?

Honestly, it will be a while. Once the graphic is done, we need to design the rest of the jersey around it. Then production is usually 10-12 weeks from art approval date. So, realistically, it'll probably be sometime in the fall.

I still have that artwork... did I ever finish? My life kinda took a header and I don't 'member.

Shall we continue on the LC jersey design as well SK? Could check out other jersey makers... some really have nice prces and color selection.

I volunteer to help Ms Susan out with TE (unless she's already got the "jersey designer" lined up).
