TE Jersey Design Contest

Only if they come with clip-on antenna for the helmet.

Hey, it fits great! And no pesky hem elastic either! :D :D

CC's should come with map-pin buttons you can sew on for yourself and your TE friends. :)

I'm still partial to Mimi's painting, but there are several there I'd buy if they were available, especially CC&Eden's.

wow, That's incredible, Bleek, how come you got YOURS so fast?

Girls I needed the BSG suggestion! Thank you for making me choke on the fruit I am eating. :p

:D:D:D:p

That's hilarious :D

Ttaylor- The one with the woman symbol might work better in wear if the symbol were on the back? I am so busty I cannot imagine how that big of a graphic would work but then again I have already admitted to hating graphic design so you may ignore me. I like the "go green" concepts, very current.

I was concerned about the circle distortion too.

Big graphic design fan here.
I guess you know what to expect from me :rolleyes:

I really like the green jerseys. They are very eye-catching.

Instead of "Just rolling along" how about " spin those wheels!" ???

So apparently the computer I have access to that has Adobe Photoshop is not powerful enough to run it...plus I am extremely unfamiliar with it :p

I might have to submit a scribbled on piece of paper (eeek :p)--please don't shun it!

I have just the opposite problem, I am always trying to attract attention up there being a solid size "A". I was thinking that Bleek's jersey would work well for me.


Ana, you might try allocating a bit more memory to Photoshop and see if it will run.

Ttaylor- I have the same problem & had the same thoughts about Bleek's jersey. As to the jersey you designed the symbol was something I thought of trying to incorporate too, but wasn't sure how to do it. I like what you did with that. :)

Looking at Velow's design: I think that would print up very nicely. It's close conceptually to Ttaylor's, but the color blocking and other logo placement make it feel more balanced to me.

Keep up the good work ladies!! Great submissions thus far. :D

That's what i'm doing.
Don't sweat it.

ETA- I guess I'm out, , something too similar has already been submitted :(

Did you ladies need a Jpg of the blank jersey to print off and "scribble" in?

Urlea, I love them both! That petal design is so unique!

Zen- put in yours. There have been a couple similar. I want to see yours!

Urlea- I *really* like the petal design. I am not sure it is too dark though for many but the design is really cool.

+1 That is really, really neat, but I have a tendency to avoid jeseys with too much black (I want to be seen). Can it be made brighter without losing its uniqueness?

So, is Susan going to need to start a TE jersey line? So far I've seen more jerseys I'm willing to buy in the submissions than I've seen on line for eons.

Ditto what Thorn said, on all accounts. The last thing I need are more jerseys, but there are so many good ideas in the submissions thread!

It has been a couple of years since we produced a TE-branded cycling jersey and we'd like to come up with something very creative with a high "WOW" factor, but we haven't come up with anything ourselves that we absolutely love.

So... we're going to have a design contest!

We recognize that not everyone has the skills to create vector artwork suitable for use as final art, so what we're looking for is something more along the lines of a concept sketch that we can then take to the designers at our jersey manufacturer to be cleaned up and turned into final art.

1st Prize will be your very own 2009 TE Jersey + $50 TE Gift Certificate
- winner to be selected by TE
- (note: final jersey design may not make use of the winning design. If no jersey is produced before July 2009, winner will receive a $125 TE Gift Certificate)


2nd Prize "People's Choice" award will be a $50 TE Gift Certificate
- winner to be selected by a poll here on the TE forums.
- this may be the same as the 1st prize winner.


We'll let it run at least 2 weeks but possibly through the end of February depending on how much activity there is surrounding the contest.

I'll put a link up tomorrow to a page where TE logos and color swatches can be downloaded.

We're looking forward to seeing what the amazing gals of the TE forums come up with! :D

I just love it, great idea.
Some time ago I posted, why TE doesn't have theyr one team kit or jersey/shorts. The reaction of some members on this discussion forum for my loud thought, was not very positive... Soooo, I guess I was right... I see fantastic creations, love some of the bright colors and design.
Are we vote for the best jersey's or are you guy's doing this?
A way to go TE... have recommended your website to many bikers.

You take care, happy business and be careful on the road

Jeff & I couldn't agree more. I suspect we'll end up with more than one, which means that we may be able to have more than one fit - one with no elastic and another full-zip with bottom elastic. We'll see. It's too early to decide, but I'm sending out for fit kits from several manufacturers so we can get the best possible fit to compliment these beautiful designs.

I'll keep you all posted.

Keep 'em coming!

Susan

Some ladies were saying they only wear screaming yellow jerseys. Well, that petal design could be done up in yellow instead of shades of grey, like wild sunflowers:

And I'm glad to see that we may be allowed multiple winners. :D

I had the same thought. I would so wear that. But the link doesn't work (access forbidden).

Zen, let's see yours!

Absolute LOVE that one Urlea:D Would buy it in a flash!

That's odd. Works for me. Maybe the pic is from some kind of nature preserve and they're afraid of cross-pollination from your avatar. ;)

And yes, Zen. Show us yours. :)

Duck on Wheels, I couldn't see the link either. Access Forbidden.

I wasn't allowed access either :confused:

"She loves hills. She loves them not." Awesome! :D :)

Wow, choosing is going to be difficult - so many wonderful designs. :cool:

That one's really clever! Me like too!

On the petal one- what about putting on a grassy green or sunflower yellow? Would it totally kill your vision? I really like it, feminine but not completely gag-me girly.

Thanks for the compliments/input ladies! :D I can try a brighter color (last time I tried it wasn't quite working for me), but we'll see how a second try at it goes.

I probably wouldn't change the flower type to a sunflower though just because the "she loves me", "she loves me not" concept is typically done with a daisy and that's what I was going for with the "she loves hills, she loves them not".

Good to use one of my photos from Japan though. :) Glad you ladies liked where my mind went with it in the form of a Jersey.

Those of you who submitted drawings, you may not have photoshop but your concepts really appeal to me & you did an awesome job sketching out your ideas.

Ana, I uploaded your design in a format that was viewable on that thread. I hope that's okay. Great idea with the t in es"t"rogen being the symbol!

How did you do it? :)

I saved your file and uploaded it to my image host. It's free so I figured I might as well do it.

TTaylor, I like yours.

Still working on it...get your sunglasses ready for tomorrow :p
