TE Jersey Design Contest

Meee threeeee. What does the back look like?

I really like zen's orange and turquoise thang also.

I'd love to see the "she loves hills" daisy married with zen's orange and turquoise idea.

One of my favorites is Urlea's orange, black and white design with the wheels and swirls. Orange is a great color, and the design is feminine but not overly girly. It's crisp, simple and good lookin.

And Limewave's red jersey is great too!

Too many good designs!

Yeah, I like that one quite a bit, too.

Nice one, Eden! Perfect gift for all my feminist cycling friends! (or their gift to me ... )

You know, I like every single one of them! From flowers to swirls. And mimi's picture is beautiful on Urlea's post. You can just pick your mood of the day. I've always liked the look of the Amici ones too. I definitely think there should be more than one offered as some will like flowers and others will like just designs, and personally I'll get both, or all three (hint hint). Funny, as I typically don't like the look of jerseys, but these! Maybe TE should just contract members for designs and get rid of the other brand names! Or maybe Pearl Izumi, Hincapie, and Terry and others should take a look at what we like.

I just received my catalog from Terry and am so relieved that I really don't care for any of the designs. What's with all the Ride like a girl stuff? On a few things okay, but it's an overwhelming theme this time. I actually have a hoodie that says it, but one thing is enough. Like everyone has to be reminded that I'm a girl and ride? Also, the designs on the jerseys are just not my cup of tea, sort of like they are churning out the same jerseys in the same size print year after year in different colors, but I'm in real trouble if TE offers many of these! Retailers, take a look.

I want mimi's, she loves hills in ANY color, jillm's wildflower one, the orange one with swirls, zen's turquoise and orange, limewave's red one, the daisy one...

I just want a jersey that says on the back "please don't kill me." Of course, it would be a screaming yellow and bold black letters.

Somehow I don't think that would sell, tho.

All the submissions have been wonderful. We have some very talented women here. I can't wait to see what the winners are, as I'm certain I'll be buying a couple.

I still like "I support the local [in small letters] POLICE [in big letters]" on the back

I looked at the catalog and thought. Hmmm I need to be 20 or 85. I didn't feel a single thing in it. It felt very annoying teenager or something my 91 year old grandma would fancy the looks of.

I have a "Ride like a Girl" koozie. A co-worker and I had a discussion on whether I found it empowering or degrading. My answer "depends on my mood and the context".

Ditto that! The only Terry products that I consistently buy are their Bella shorts. Their jerseys haven't "done it" for me in a long time....though I am looking forward to my Wild Goose Chase jersey!

Yeah, I especially cringe at the one with some ditzy girl perched sidesaddle on a bike while blowing bubbles. Is that how 'girls' ride? What does it mean other than perhaps women only play at riding bicycles. Seems like a 'pre-teen mall rat' type of mindset to me.

I like many of the ideas coming up from TE members.

[Biciclista]

I really like the red and black one that limewave did.

And yet the various incarnations of the Little Red Riding Hood jerseys have sold like hot cakes.


Then there is Velo Bella jersey.

Those two and my AV jersey have a 100% hit rate for lots and lots of compliments on organized rides. None of my other jerseys get this kind of attention - and I have an embarassingly large collection.
