The 1st Annual Pig Pedal

My police department is organizing the first annual Pig Pedal (named by yours truly) Police Bike race to benefit the Alliance for Children. I am looking for sponsors/donors/vendors whatever to donate jerseys/t-shirts/socks with the Pig Pedal logo. Problem is, I don't have a pig pedal logo. Any of you artsy types care to sketch out a pig pedal logo? It is, of course, cops only, other departments will send teams. Hard to ask anyone to donate anything when I don't have anything to show. I am just a cop, I can barely draw a crime scene.
I would happily send a pig pedal t-shirt to whomever helps me out.
It is a race, but everyone rides mtbs. And wears uniforms. And guns. The jerseys we will give as prizes.

Great idea! Down here in Miami we have the Tour de Force. It a 150 mile two day ride with sponsors and police escorts through every county. Huge fund raiser. I wish I could help with the drawing, but me... not so artsy. If you need any ideas for the ride I have a contact with our PD(Miami-Dade) that may be able to help. Let me know.

How about bullet-proof vests? Oh, and are your uniforms long pants only, or can you wear shorts?

I can just see a svelte piggy with a badge and gun riding a Mtb. "Pig pedal", that's hysterical! :p

Good luck.

And we want pictures!

Hey where in Texas and when is the ride? I could try to convince our Campus Police to form a team, train, and participate in the race! :)

We wear kevlar vests on patrol while on the bikes (always, bike, horse, or car). I hate it. It is heavy, hot, and the dang thing smells like a sweat sock.
But if it will stop a bullet, I am all about it. I wear shorts from May till October. We have winter riding pants. For the race, the team can wear their bike uniform.

I think "ride it like you stole it" would be a great slogan for the Pig Pedal:D Real police humor, lol. Or maybe put it on the made up trophy for the winners?? Or should that be weiners?!

Tap into logo designers

A company I know used this recently to get a logo designed. Its quick and you name your price up front so if you say the winning entry gets a $20 t-shirt, that's what they get.

That's awesome! You mind if I steal your quote???
And I bet you can shoot! I didn't shoot until I went into the academy. I have to keep up with the boys, so I practice, practice, practice.
