Welcome to my boat.
I'm just going to do a rough sketch and photograph it.

I like the colors in Eden's second design, but I don't care for the images on it (I realize they are the TE logo chicks). Just me, but I prefer more geometric designs instead of pictures.
hey urlea, I like the back of the jersey but the front seems a bit too hard on the eyes. What about a catwalk or something up the front since your theme is around style?? Or,a cyclist incorporated into the pattern?
I'm not artistic & probably out to lunch...:o
You know, Mimi's painting would work very well - think about how the Graham Watson jerseys are done? Go Mimi!
Wow. I'm throwing in the towel to all the talent I'm up against.
Such great ideas everyone! I might take a whack at it if I get some time, but I think there are some excellent contenders already! (I'm a bit intimidated :o )
I really love that design, urlea. The back, not as much (I'm anti High Heel), but I love the front. Just the opposite of CC. :D How about a bottle of hootch and to honor Zen, a piece of pie in the back pocket?
It would be great if someone could design something inspired by the AV jersey design. Different colors but a similar concept. Did SK do that design?
Urlea, I LOVE the pumps, etc in the jersey pockets! I never wear heels, and don't style my hair at all, that's what is so cute about all that stuff. But so far, I like all of the designs. Yours is the one that makes me smile though! : ) Tokie
Gosh yall rock
Eden, I love that green one
Taylor- the Orange rocks
Urlea- My kind of jersey (the houndstooth).. I'm a girly girl.
I would fall over if someone posted something in paisley though....;)
How bout one that just says
THIS IS LEGAL
on the back? I've always wanted a jersey that said that, since I get so many people telling me to "Get on the sidewalk" as they drive by.
Otherwise I love Mimi's painting and Urlea's conversion of that into a jersey, although perhaps the bike girl on the back might be good, since that's what most people will see.
My DH also came up with a slogan - Cars Suck Gas - but that might just be more inflammatory than unprotected cyclists want to risk...
LOVE the Mimi/Urlea design.
I always look for the second cyclist, but I could easily get used to this. :)
This is a FAB jersey - I would for sure buy this-- female without being girly and 'butterflies and flowers'=ish--
I also look for the second cyclist on this jersey... the front of the design is beautiful-- it would be AMAZING if the rest of the second cyclist was wrapped around on the back - still showing some shoreline, but giving a bit more interesting design on the rear - which as someone pointed out - is what most people see... perhaps not black for the pockets though - our rear ends ware what traffic behind us sees so something colourful at the bottom - even the same design as the real jersey would work a little better imho so we dont just present black shorts and black lower back as our visibility to motorists...? Even if this jersey was on sale 'as is' - I would buy it - like I said female without being girly--
excellent work ladies!
Mimi/Urlea- Now that is a design I would buy! It looks like nothing I have seen, kind of a reflection of the group of women we have.
Alpine- Don't beat yourself up over your talent. Your tri logo is really cool but seeing as how I sink not swim I would be a bit of a joke wearing such a jersey. :p
it looks like we may have a winner already do you think...???
this one appeals to a variety of types of women cyclists, both the pastel wearers and the geometric 'bold' types-- and it is really different to the usual stuff and especially being a cooperative work between two 'sistahs' on here - i would be really proud to wear this one! :-)
miss susan-the-administrator - whoever you declare the 'winner' - please produce this design anyway- i think you would have a lot of takers.
... with elastic at the bottom!!!! :-)
(maybe elastic for smalls and mediums who do need it, and no-elastic for large and extra-large sizes-- is that possible at all????)

I've tried moving the painting around a little bit and I have a hard time getting the cyclist to fit on the back because of the cut of the jersey.
Same problem with the handle bars and part of the wheel for the second cyclist on the front panel. I can tilt the image a little bit which brings forward more of that, but then you end up with the face getting to close to the zipper & I'd worry about it looking warped.
If this gets chosen I'm sure the people at TE will be able to get things spaced just right for you. :)
Whatever design is chosen, I hope it'll be available in plus sizes... :o :p
those black panels under the arms that go down to the waist are on some of my jerseys and they are very slimming!
Mimi/Urlea--gorgeous!
PS Sorry, admins---I DID try to keep my comments off this thread and on the other one, but was afraid the other thread was getting lost, and wanted to say how much I love the Mimi/Urlea design.
Mimi's painting is nice, no doubt.
But I'm not a pastel person.
I guess I'd rather see what Susan said she didn't want (if I recall correctly) and that is a TEAM jersey.
I like it too. Very nice design.
my dear Zen, that is not pastels, that is a watercolor :p
I know what you mean
me too! ;)
It's beautiful. I'd buy one even knowing that it'll be a rare occasion when I go out without my hi-viz yellow.
I only wonder if the image could be re-sized or moved a little bit (or at least mocked up on an inkjet print T-shirt transfer and tried on) because I'm afraid the rider's head will be right on or underneath the wearer's right breast.
I just *love* the mimi/urlea jersey too. I'd buy one, and I think you should give them both the prize! I think its great the way it is, although I too would prefer the full zip jersey in the cut of the team terry jersey. I really like that it captures the spirit of TE, by our own artists for us. I also like the yellow sleeves for visiblity, and the blue matches my bike. I also like that it is feminine without being 'girly' so should have broad appeal.
Wait wait! There are more to come...
I do like Mimi's :cool:
I like the jersey with Mimi's painting on it best too. It's a marvelous painting. :) I also like it because it's not commercial/corporate looking. Soft yet strong.
Guys- I have an idea, but can't seem to find the blank full shirt versions. Can somebody post the front/back blanks? Thanks.
