TE Jersey Design Contest

*As evidenced by the fact that my jersey had crept up over my fat hips, bleah!

But happily, Voler nowadays makes sleeveless women's jerseys in club cut (no elastic, more relaxed fit)

Jersey creep-up if there's elastic means it's too short or you're shapely (or both!)

My hips are 37/38" and my waist is about 29" and my jerseys still creep up if the elastic is a little too tight and it is a bit short (I have a long torso) I suspect this is why some of us think that elastic is evil!

I hope Velogirl chimes in because she has her jerseys made by Voler, too. These are similar to the AV jerseys in fit (club cut) but they are full zip. With the AV jerseys, my Velogirls jerseys are my favorites. It's a treat to wear them, so I have them for my long or "special" rides.

Who did the AV design? Whoever came up w/that design really should submit something (hinthint)---unless they already have and I haven't gotten to that thread yet.

Ha-ha! My life is not my own at the moment so creativity is hard to come by. Thanks for the compliment.

Wow! There are so many cute ideas. I don't have a creative bone in my body, but I love, love, love the one by ttaylor508 that has the neon yellow, green and orange with the big gear graphic. I ride on busy roads where I want to be seen and the brighter, neon colors help me to stick out.

Also, no elastic and 3/4 zipper are my preferences. My elastic bottom jerseys all bunch up on my backside ...lovely.

Can't wait to see the winner!

I love this red gold and green jersey also with the big gear graphic- however the "she rides" I fear would get comments of an unwanted nature from passing motorists!!

I think the design stands by itself and does not need an words written on the upper back section where it currently says "she rides". The deisgn is strong enough that that is just an unwanted distraction for me. If those words were removed, I would be first in line to buy this jersey in both sleeved and sleeveless I think.

With elastic :-) doesnt have to have tight elastic - just enough so it doesnt hang lifelessly at the bottom

Amazing design ttaylor508! Fab colours--

Bat - you make a good point. I think the "she rides" doesn't enhance the design. Since I ride alone, I'd prefer not to be so easily identified as a female.

[tctrek]

Yep - I would agree with the "She Rides:... I didn't really think about it when I was first admiring the colors and the big graphic of the gears. I always ride with my DH and that sort of stuff doesn't cross my mind, although all of us should always remember that there are crazies out there that we don't want to focus on the fact that it's a woman on a bike. Great Point!
