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.

bicyclista/urlea design
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...

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.Last edited by salsabike; 02-07-2009 at 04:12 PM.
