TE Jersey Design Contest

[HillSlugger]

mayanorange, I like your design.

Good grief, we have to choose?

[shootingstar]

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 !

[mayanorange]

Thanks, I like playing with things like that- turning them into something else. I'm working on one where the girl on bike is more prominent. I could do one with a plain TE logo bike too, but I thought it needed a rider.

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.

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!

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

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.

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...

There is one design I really like (not mine ) but there are parts of it I don't like.
I would like to see elements of some designs incorporated with others.

[Ha(m)mer]

Thorn - That would be a good idea too, splitting the yesterday/today idea into two different images and potentially two styles.

I'm working on the back panel... it's not drawing out like I thought that it might. We'll see how it goes.

I wish that I was able to work it out in illustrator, making changes and adjustments would be easier in that program instead of photoshop.

mayanorange: +1 I like the stylized bike! Very cool.

[mayanorange]

Thorn- It'll probably be tomorrow by the time I get to it. Should be faster since it's a modification sort of, but I still take forever trying to get these things right.

I'm still not 100% happy with Version 1, but it gets the general idea across. I was hoping for long and winding road starting in green rolling hills or similar, then ending up at a city at sunset, but I couldn't get it look quite right in photoshop. Though now I really like the bike design, so I'm going to focus on that for the next iteration.

I'm totally open to suggestions if anyone has any!

This is for those that wanted something brighter and more like a traditional jersey. It could come in about any color you can think of, but i chose this color for visibility. Of course the back pocket could also be the same color as the jersey, but I was thinking of trying to slim out love-handles by using the black.

The swirls by the wheels are to imply motion & soften up the design.



And this is a little more girly. Uploaded larger so you could read the text on the petals. If you have ideas of what to put on the petals instead let me know!



Now back to using PhotoShop for what it was intended for in my day-to-day routine, work. This has been fun!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE THE DAISY JERSEY!! WOOT WOOT!!

I thought it was clever too. then I started watching the Tour of California and, well...
