"She loves hills. She loves them not." Awesome!

Wow, choosing is going to be difficult - so many wonderful designs.

"She loves hills. She loves them not." Awesome!

That one's really clever! Me like too!

On the petal one- what about putting on a grassy green or sunflower yellow? Would it totally kill your vision? I really like it, feminine but not completely gag-me girly.

Thanks for the compliments/input ladies! I can try a brighter color (last time I tried it wasn't quite working for me), but we'll see how a second try at it goes.

I probably wouldn't change the flower type to a sunflower though just because the "she loves me", "she loves me not" concept is typically done with a daisy and that's what I was going for with the "she loves hills, she loves them not".

Good to use one of my photos from Japan though. Glad you ladies liked where my mind went with it in the form of a Jersey.

Those of you who submitted drawings, you may not have photoshop but your concepts really appeal to me & you did an awesome job sketching out your ideas.

Ana, I uploaded your design in a format that was viewable on that thread. I hope that's okay. Great idea with the t in es"t"rogen being the symbol!

How did you do it?

[Urlea]

How did you do it?

I saved your file and uploaded it to my image host. It's free so I figured I might as well do it.

I would like to say that all of the design ideas are just gorgeous.

ttaylor- I was also thinking of the woman logo... but I thought of doing it with a chain ring. I'm not going to, because you did. Good idea though! I like the color and your layout on the jersey.

Biciclista - I love that painting!! Watercolor is beautiful.

The estrogen chemical chain is so clever.

Eden - the around the world concept is cool too.

I don't have a critique of any of them.

I am working on an image. So, hopefully this will stay open until the end of february. I hope to have something ready by the end of this coming weekend. I only have access to illustrator at work. I do have photoshop at home. It'll be a sketched idea, but probably not perfected.

oooh, this is so fun. I love having something to think about and work on for my own amusement at least! Gotta love a good project.

Zen -- I like the pink and orange colors together!

I love this one too. I know the colours aren't hi-viz, but they really appeal to me. Heck, I'd wear this to work!

I also like ttaylor's eye-catching green-to-red design, love the bike parts, but I'd like the "She Rides" graphic blended into the background more or tweaked a little. Centered, mayb?

Hm? I wonder if NSA is somehow involved, shutting out web sites like they do in China ...? So I can see it from here in Norway, but nobody in the US can ..?

Anyhoo, if you google for images of wild sunflowers, it's the first one on the list. Or, just look at Oak Leaf's avatar. The one I googled is a photo with focus-fading and thus a bit more similar to Urlea's greytone (now also greentone) jersey design, but Oak Leaf's avatar does show that flowers at least very similar to the ones in the design do come in bright yellow. I get Urlea's point about daisies rather than sunflowers, but daisies aren't grey or green either. They do come white with bright yellow centers, so why not white with yellow centers and yellow background? Or just go with yellow because who cares about representational art anyway?

and now, here's that picture:

My Amici Veloci jersey is my favorite because of the fit, but mainly of the design and colors. When I say ttaylor's jersey that is what I thought of first. I really like it. I love the saying in the back also.

I also like Urlea's jersey because of the petal idea.

Although I did not post before, every day I say a jersey that I thought was great. The choices are getting harder & harder to end up picking just one.

Urlea- I like the green, very calm. It is very hard to make it bright enough and still pretty. I am very fond of the design.

Grog- I am picturing a red Gerbera daisy- that would look really pretty but I don't think lends itself to Urlea's design with the words in the petals?

[OakLeaf]

Mine are black-eyed Susans (Rudbeckia). But the center part of Urlea's flowers does look more like sunflowers or black-eyed Susans than daisies (?)

Anyway I like the design and I think people will get the idea even if the flower species isn't exactly right.
