Am I the only female in the universe that kind of likes elastic in my jerseys?

yes

Yes.


I only like elastic waistbands on shirts if I want them to ride up around my armpits after a while.

They said:

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.

I think they posted the graphics info for those who can do that, but they are clearly not requiring anything more than a good concept sketch.

Of course a good concept is really the hardest part in graphic design!

Well that's great news for those on TE who don't do graphic design. Sort of levels the playing field, p'raps.

And I only asked my question about the full zip from a design perspective...wanted to know if a zipper could potentially cut a design in half.

I'm pretty sure I have a jersey with a full zip that doesn't affect the design.

That depends on how you design it....
...and how you wear it.

I can kinda envision Mimi's painting (posted on the other jersey design thread) all over the back of a jersey with some kind of continuation or even just a repeat wrapping to the front. Could have short sleeves in blue-with-logo in extension of the sky (which is already predominantly a blue very close to the TE bluelogo color). The sleeves could be plain blue-with-logo or could fade above the logo into a more water-color effect up towards the shoulder seam. And the grassy bit of the painting could be right at the top of the back pockets, especially if Mimi could do a continuation below that with some sort of trail-side vegetation.

In my mind's eye this is a gorgeous jersey. I'd definitely buy it, but I can't draw it.

Very true!!

Thanks, I needed a good laugh today! Lisa, are you entering? You're an artist, right?
