Amici Veloci jersey - whoopee!!

[SadieKate]

Spazzdog has been working her little paws to the bone so please send her a few treats. Based on my inarticulate and rambling requests, she's created a wonderful preliminary design that is veddy, veddy close. While we know the Voler art department will make some more changes based on their experience we thought we'd get this out there for the world to see.

Plus, here's our new blog spot, www.amiciveloci.org !!!!
We've got a lot of team members that aren't part of this wonderful TE forum so now we've got a place to keep them up to date on our happenings and, in the future, Amici Veloci tattoo and jersey sightings.

The order form should be posted in the next few days and I'll add the link to the blog and post it here. Miss Snap is in charge of collecting orders from anyone and everyone who is so inclined to join us. Our current order deadline is August 22nd though this may change a bit as Voler is a tad behind on the women's club cut jersey (not their fault - the manufacturer of the lycra used in their shorts in going out of business which has impacted their whole delivery cycle).

On the women's club cut - it will have no elastic in the hem, a slightly shorter length, and will flare a bit at the hips. The bust will be adjusted slightly to better accomodate our curves. I tried on prototype #2 on Monday and it fits really nicely. Sizing info can be found at www.voler.com.

Oops, once last thing -- the secret message on the inside of the pocket will be "Another hare racing story" to go with our collar message, "Embrace your inner tortoise," as coined by Veronica.

Very cool design (love the puns!)! What a great idea! I'll keep an eye peeled for the order form...

What kind of treats would spazzdog like?

[spazzdog]

Aarff!

jelly bellies, gummy bears, tequila... er, milk

Glad y'all are likin' it. I love designing jerseys... just don't get much of a chance to do it. Thanks SadieKate, for letting me help out with an already fun design.

I love it! Thank goodness someone realizes that women's hips don't like those jerseys with elastic at the bottom which makes them ride up and create bunches in the middle. I can't wait to order mine and thank you for your creativity. Love the puns too!

[SadieKate]

Thanks, JP! I see you've recently joined our ranks. When you get the chance introduce yourself in the "Getting to Know You" thread. There are more and more northern California members so we sure hope to see you on a ride sometime soon.

Jaquelin P.....n in San Rafael, CA? Anyone know her?

I just did a bit more sleuthing and this matches up with her questioning the elastic hem in the email. I hope this is right. Anyone know her personally and know how to get in touch with her?

Yo amici velco ladies??.........I'm paying right now for a jersey and a pair of arm warmers but...........the order form??......do I need to fill that out and mail it to snap??

I know I sound like a dodo (my friends affectionately call it "meno-brain" syndrome) but it just feels weird to pay for something without also submitting something! lol


How do I pay you using PayPal???................waaaahaaa this is just wayyy too new to me! LOL

[SadieKate]

Well, for a bunch of non-propeller heads, we got higher tech than we ever imagined, but automating the order form itself was beyond us.

Be sure you email Snap every bit of info that she needs - gender, style, size, quantity, mailing address - and you don't need to fill out the form.

[CorsairMac]

Whewwwwwwwwwwww that was more work than I do for my day job! LOLOL...



OK....I just blundred my way through the whole paypal thing and it said that my money was on it's way to snap! LOLOL

Snap: I included a note that said what size and gender but I forgot to tell you S/S! dooohhhhh!!! Let me know you got everything??

The order form says that the Wind Shell Vest is Unisex sizing. But on the Voler site, the size chart for the wind shell vest shows mens and womens sizes.

Men's medium - Chest 38 to 40
Women's medium - Chest 34 to 36.

SadieKate -- What size wind vest do I wear? You told Voler that I would be the "problem" child, so I'm just trying to live up to my reputation.

And, you're doing a very good job.

Unfortunately, the outer wear stuff is only "unisex" which really means mens' sizing. I have called Voler's attention to the fact that their website is confusing.

How's that spreadsheet coming? You've only 44 1/2 hours left to procrastinate.

You would only need to worry if I and my household of scoundrels were accepting the money .

Will you gals be posting or emailing some sort of confirmation that you got our orders? I mailed my order in last week, and my brother might have been mailing his in too.

And I forgot (pre-meno moment), when do we actually receive the jerseys?
