TE Jersey Design Contest

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

NO!!! I want my jersey be form fitting and to stay put and that means gripper elastic at the bottom.... and darn it I want it at the arms too... tight enough to keep my arm warmers up please.

I've noticed that jerseys made for men with elastics don't fit me so good, but when they are styled for women, the jersey ends up looking good and staying where it belongs with that elastic on it.

I vote for hi-viz and no elastic. Is it possible to make both versions - elastic and non-elastic?

[Susan Otcenas]

Ladies, thanks for the feedback. A couple of comments:

I expect this will be a 3/4 hidden zip, no elastic jersey. Hidden zips work best with a graphic design, as they don't "chop" the image in half. There's very little out there in full-length hidden zip, so we'll need to do 3/4.

Also, as much as I understand that some folks like hi-viz safety yellow, that's not really the direction we're looking to go in.

And longer short sleeves that will actually cover the tops of arm warmers. No little cap sleeves!

I love gripper elastic. My favorite jersey has gripper elastic in the back and is elastic-free in the front- stays put without riding up.

I suspect Susan has some pretty good stats about what kind of jerseys sell best.

I am not sure why she would track that, it would be senseless.

I like elastic. I don't like elastic. I like full zip and I like 3/4, I even like 1/2 zip. Pretty much a good cut will make me happy and elastic won't bug me in a good cut.

We have a wide variety of forms here
What's form fitting for one is strangulation for another

I never said all jerseys must have elastic..... (and I think you all implied that *none* should by answering to Liza that yes, she is the only one who still wants elastic ((NOT)). I definitely still want the option.

Mimi- I would really like to see you try your hand at something with that painting.

Eden- I really like your first entry, did you say you are working on another? I didn't know you had hidden talent like that!

I like all three you put up, maybe you have another career to think about. FWIW I took Graphic Design as part of my major and found it to be one the hardest classes I took. My brother is the artist, I lost a lot of sleep over that class!

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.

This is hands-down the nicest most flattering jersey I own.
