TE Jersey Design Contest

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!

How about "One less car" instead ...? Might have a positive effect on drivers' consideration.

I'm pretty sure people can tell I'm female whether the word "she" is on my jersey or not. And, at least around here, people are far more likely to try to run me off the road than make sexist comments.

Tell me about it. With my figure and my hips, there is no way I could ever possibly pass for a male cyclist!

mayanorange, I like your design.

**OakLeaf** · 02-15-2009, 08:07 AM

Good grief, we have to choose?

**shootingstar** · 02-15-2009, 08:11 AM

In short-listing designs, I probably would not choose a design that had similarities with an existing jersey design.

Sorry, this is design competition and hence, focus must be truly original in composition, colour in relation to fit /general shape of the jersey itself. It would help that that design did make a cyclist visible to some extent from a few blocks away at least.

Meaning..I wouldn't wear a black jersey..

mayanorage, that's really clever how you incorporated the TE logos into the bike !

Most of my ride are before work (in the dark) so .... LOL. Safety is a concern for me.

Ham(m)er's "yesterday/today" design is cool! I'm anxious to see what she does with the back of the jersey. What a great idea.

There are some amazing submissions. I think I like them all!

I really like the concept of that jersey--where we've been and where we're going. Very nice. Very original.

But, I'm not convinced of the implementation. I'm not artistic, but I wonder if you did yesterday on the front and today on the back (or vice versa) instead of trying to squeeze them both on the same side? And/Or maybe change the style more than just black/white--do yesterday ala' Retro Image and do today in a modern style? Hey, I said I had no concept of art...

Oh, and, mayanorange--I keep logging in looking for Version 2. I can't imagine you'll top version 1, but I keep looking...

Is this jersey only intended for roadies or to make political statements? I hope this jersey doesn't become a political billboard. I'd like to see something that just makes you smile. Several of these designs fit the ticket.

If I have to, I advocate for cyclists, not against cars.
