    Got it alll down on my handy-dandy spreadsheet. Not worrying too much about size at this point. I need numbers, styles and gender choice so I can look for vendors that will let us mix and match.

    Bubba really wants arm warmers but they are not in the "like item" category with the jerseys. I'll have to do a little more research on these.

    I hope you all don't mind me taking the bull by the horns here. I've got the time to do the research and the access to the graphic design team down the street. I told them we'd put their logo on the jersey since they've donated some time to us. We'll be an officially-sponsored bike team. They liked our name so much they've already added us to their list of clients on their website (www.twintheory.com)

    If anyone has any real concerns like no elastic and set-in sleeves , let me know. My first goal is to narrow down the bewildering choices in vendors and we'll re-group.

    wow...........just think - to be part of an officially sponsered team at my age and novice status! I have no concerns Sadie - I think what you're doing is awesome and I'm just sitting at your feet in humility and respect!

    Team Sponsorship

    SK- Interesting that you bring this up re putting someones name on our very own jersey.

    We had a similar discussion at our club meeting last night and my opinion is NO, NO, NOOOOOOOOOO!

    We get bombarded by advertising everywhere we go and the last thing I want to do is advertise anyone on my jersey. If you all decide to go that way I will reconsider my options, no kidding!!!!

    To me, this jersey is far too special. Please, let's keep it that way!

    Nancy, I understand your concerns, but these two women have given their time for free to vector the logo and help with the creative process, and will probably give us more time at a reduced cost. I will be sure the logo is small and tasteful.

    Go check out their website at www.twintheory.com.

    Research update

    Voler has the best website with the most information both in detail and logical format. They also seem to have the most flexibility with mix and match options. Geez, my mind is spinning!

    Just called them and spoke with a VERY nice rep who gave me lots of info. The one negative is the elastic in the bottom hem. However, before you panic! They have sales reps here in Sacatomato who will let me have a fit session before we commit. Generally, they won't send out a fit kit until you commit but because we're all local I'm getting a little extra service.

    1st production/ship date available is the week of Aug 22nd if we sign up now.

    I think we owe it to the folks at twintheory to have a tasteful logo on the jersey. They donated their time to help with the design. It seems only right.

    SK- Since you are a model for me anyway, you can be a shirt model too!

    my 2 cents on voler

    I love my Voler jerseys. The fabric is the best of any I own -- breathes and wicks well, feels silky. I always get a women's medium, and my only small complaints are the elastic hem, which on me always bunches around my waist, and a very long zipper, which, uh, sticks out from the bunched waist. I also think the quality of the Volers exceeds other brands, like Primal and Shebeest (who don't have custom jerseys, but just fyi).
