FWIW, for jerseys I really like vibrant colors and eye-catching graphic designs.
And the new crop of TE jerseys from the design contest fit that bill very well - bold, graphic designs and striking colors.
My all time favorite-est jersey is still the Amici Veloci jersey that Spazzdog and SadieKate designed many moons ago. It has very vivid colors - predominantly red, with some bright green and purple and black - and a striking graphic design. No flowers or butterflies, but a couple of small hearts.
But who knows, maybe the new contest winners will be right up there for me too.
Well said Jo!
I also liked the "She Loves Hills...She Loves Them Not ..." because its clever. If it was just a jersey with a flower I would have passed on that one.
I prefer bright colours and yep my AV kit is still my favourite cycling attire.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
