TE Jersey Design Contest

can't see anything Eden!

hmmm not sure why.... they aren't linked to - they are attached directly. Maybe it needs a little time to update... I've got to go (off to a ride ) but if it isn't loading later I'll try re-attaching.

I can see it.

I can see it too. That is weird since it's an inline attachment hosted on TE.

I guess I'd rather see what Susan said she didn't want (if I recall correctly) and that is a TEAM jersey.

what is wrong with a team jersey? isn't this supposed to be a team jersey? I'm confused...

[Zen]

While a design the incorporates the TE color scheme would be nice, it is certainly not a requirement.

The TE logos can be more of something that is applied to certain locations on the jersey - ie, chest or collar, sleeves, back pocket, etc -- they don't necessarily have to be a prominent part of the design.

If the design was of a traditional "team" jersey style, the logos would be very prominent (see the Team Terry jersey).

I could be mistaken but I interpret this to mean she doesn't want one like the Team Terry jersey , just incorporating a logo and/or the name Team Estrogen.

I agree that the Voler club cut woman's jersey is the best I have. Besides the Amici Veloci one, I have one made for my husband's company. If you can replicate that cut (it's very form fitting, but no elastic) and actually offer an x small, I'm in...

My brain is dried up right now to think of anything to add on the design side.

But I will chime in..definitely have no elastic at bottom. I have several jerseys with an elastic bottom, only out of necessity because I was getting desperate with limited design choices off-the rack in town for women with no elastic bottoms.

I'm a short person with a small bone frame, perfect weight and even for me, elastic bottom jerseys don't complement my frame much. On days when I eat too much, I feel as if the elastic bottom is rounding out/accentuating my bloated tummy. ..which is precisely what happens to men with cycling jerseys with their bottom elastics and their belly paunches.

And elastics around short sleeves..nope. And I have skinny arms. Very annoying when elasticized sleeves slide into 'pits.

Like Mimi, I can't see the image offered by Eden.

[shootingstar]

no, I like it!! WAY COOL! You rock, Urlea!
but yes, maybe the cyclist on the back. But I dunno!

Mimi..was that painting at the gallery showing in Vancouver? Damn...we should have bought the original.

I love the colour combinations ...black most definitely is helpful for slimming line. The back looks abit lonely....but meditative...much preferably than overly busy designs.

+1 for no elastic. Especially on the arms. Too tight and uncomfortable, especially on long rides.

As for color, I think bright colors like orange and yellow are best, for safety reasons. Regular yellow is fine, doesn't have to be hi-vis. Blues and greens are less visible on the road, because they don't stand out as much.

[Red Rock]

Eden-that is great too!

CC- How do you like that?!

There are so many to choose from. They are all wonderful.

That's all CC's. From the rules I consider this a concept contest, so I'm just lending a bit of technical support.

[OakLeaf]

Teamwork. Beautiful.

I am an elastic lover - when I have all my stuff in my pockets, the elastic keeps the heavy pockets from drooping and bouncing on my butt. However, how hard would it be to add elastic to the bottom (on your own) of a non - elasticized jersey (Irulan, professional seamstress?) tokie

I'll have something ready by Thursday.
Very rough, but ready.
