OK, as you can see I have very limited photoshop skills, but I think you might get the idea. I'm mostly interested in visibility and would like as many reflective bits as possible.

The sleeves (and in my fanstasy the matching arm warmers) are striped high vis green and reflective grey/white. (I ride a LOT in the mornings when the sun is coming up and am just SCARED of being unnoticed)

Both side panels have the "team estrogen.com" on them, preferably with reflecty stuff. I can't manage that in the photoshop.

The back pocket has the snail logo, striped with reflecty, of course

This graphic is my best attempt at Chicory and Queen Anne's Lace which are the pretty weeds that grow on the side of the roads I ride along.

And color-wise, I just picked colors that I'd like to wear (since the whole thing can't be high vis striped with reflective tape.)

Oh, and the queen anne's lace jersey has "road sister" written on the back pocket. I know that excludes the trail sisters out there. Sorry!

this last one is an attempt at swallows on the back, feather on front. Attempt is the key word. You can tell I've gotten lazy and tired.

had to add one more

Sorry to clutter this thread up but I'm having too much fun playing. There's a lot one can do with this design I think. In my fantasy world all the blue/grey blossoms are reflective... and I think my fantasy arm warmers will be black and reflecty striped.Name:  te grey blossoms.jpg

Size:  133.5 KB the black snail logo could also go on the sleeves.

(The tree is a lot of fun. I made one with a swing hanging from the branches, one is an apple tree, another has a robin's best in front and a sort of robinlookingbird on the back. Too much fun!... or too much time on my hands)

Flourishes and Biker Chics . . .

My last entry. DH was working late and DD was put to bed. I thought this would be better than snacking in front of the TV.

Submission with a Joke...

if other people think it's funny. Well, maybe it's more of an amusing thought than an all out chuckle joke. It's from an illustration that I did last year for a ride that my group holds annually.

I ride on pink chip surfaced road. I tried to duplicate it, I thought it'd be more visually interesting than a black top road.

And I recycled the rider from my other entry.

My take on the around the world idea.

In my previous post, I'd like the team estrogen logo on the rear pocket to be white. My error.

Now, for this post... I wanted to get this idea out before I leave town.

I know that some other people have posted 'world wide' concepts. I like them. I thought that since the bicycle has such an important place in every culture, it'd be nice to represent it. I picked three languages from around the world and did my best to include an illustration with it. I thought about doing more, but three fits nicely on the front.

Hopefully the idea is readable. The sleeves have a bicycle print on them.

If people like the idea of reflective material, like others have mentioned, the gray can be reflective. I have a bright caution yellow jersey that I like to wear, that's why I picked the color for this jersey.

And the side panels, I would've put "We're all members of Team Estrogen".com, but "We all belong to" fits the space better, I think.

I like weeds

OK, I decided to add this final one. Same as my others (the lightest color is reflective) except I took colors from the logos. The weed in front is supposed to be a thistle, the back has queen anne's lace. (If we had more time I'd probably try my hand at milkweed, good thing it's quittin' time)
