TE Jersey Design Contest

Mayanorange--NICE use of the TE logo!

I'm digging Urlea's daisy design and what she did with Mimi's painting. I'd buy both of those in a heartbeat. I also like the "She rides" line a lot.

Is it possible to make more than one design? Maybe the top three?

By the way, I was just talking with D*H about this board. I told him that I really like being here because everyone is so positive and supportive, so unlike so many other online communities out there. When I read the TE forum, I leave it feeling encouraged and anxious to get back on my bike, even though I'm far from what anyone would consider athletic. You all make me feel like I can achieve my health goals, namely losing weight and getting fit enough to enjoy the second half of my life.

Thank you all.

Hi Chanlluv TE got me back on a bike and back in shape. Well, TE and my sister, who got me on TE. You'll do fine too. You're in good company here. And by second half, do you mean in the "Congratulations on your first 60" sense? If so, you're not alone on the board in that age group either. F'rinstance, I'll hit 60 this summer.

Now back on topic. Those Queen Anne's Lace sketches look promising! The designer was worried that "Road Sister" would exclude trail and track sisters amongst us. How about "disguising" that in code by making the "sister" a butterfly instead. There are a whole bunch of butterfly species named [____] Sister (such as California Sister, or the Arizona Sister pictured below). One of them could be perched on a stem somewhere.

Yeah, I'll be 45 in September. I'm thrilled to pieces to be here. I really am. I'm learning so much in reading these boards, and not just about bikes or cycling. You women are awesome.

I like Limewave's 4 latest additions. I would buy any of those 4.

[Urlea]

Woohoo!! More submissions. It's a good thing I'm self-employed or my boss might get annoyed by how often I check for updates. (Don't tell anyone, but I think she does a little bit anyway.)

Great new additions! It is going to be so difficult to choose!

Lime Clean design with good logo placement.

Jillm- I really like the bird jerseys & color choices.

As to the suggestions for my "She loves hills" Jersey, thank you! I reallyappreciate the input.

I pulled old image files of photographs I had taken of black-eyed susan's & sunflowers last night to see if I could design something similar with the bright yellows in there and conceptually it just didn't work for me. The text lost it's prominence amongst all the color and it looked cluttered.

As it is right now, the background green could always get brighter. Same for the blue version. I just tried to pick a happy medium for what most computer monitors are calibrated to color-wise.

Roxy- I feel the same way about this forum. There is definitely "community" and a lot of wonderful encouraging ladies.

It still makes me laugh that my husband pointed me to this site in the first place after ordering my tri-suit from it as a b-day gift. I'm so glad he did!

Lime- very cool ideas! I really like those.

Kiwi Stoker- I really like the Crouching Tiger, Hidden Cycle design- it's really inventive.

All I have to say is that when it comes times to vote, it's going to be tough!
