swap the white V for a lime green one, split the other color fields between white and navy blue imo

Keep the FMF crest and the subtle Aztec calender embossing though

OK, I am negotiating a deal with my friend to do the design work. Are we willing to take some sponsorship in return for the design, either for the QTPi(e) project above or for the "Caravan Collective" an effort to promote the american dream by selling hotdogs to hipsters.

possibly hotdog of hipsters, by hipster and for hipsters, i don't know, I grilled hotdogs for several hours on friday night in return for beer so it feels like a worthy effort to me.

I need to know where we'd get this printed so I can give a template to the artist.
Quick research says Pactimo, $62 for a continental racefit jersey, min order is 5, Bibs are $63 and I'd be interested if 4 others are, I will need another bib soon.
http://www.pactimo.com/custom/galleries/continental/products/1338
pricinghttp://www.pactimo.com/custom/pages/ordering_made_easy
By no means an exhaustive search, but seems to have the lowest min order and good pricing. We'd get a better deal with http://champ-sys.com/ min 10 @$45 with the added bonus of no minimums on additional items like bibs.
Big Question though:
Club or Race Fit?

I'm in whatever the score - thanks guys.

I need to build up my cycling wardrobe, so I'd buy a jersey if it would help.

coming together, we're using the mexico jersey as a prototype, deeper chevron on the front, club crest replacing the mexico one. Back will have a larger mantis, pies on the pockets, QTPi(e) logos up the sides. Q. is working on the crest right now, I hope to be able to post that up in a week or so. Might be a fairly slowish process.
Did you check the spelling on the Finnish?
Does anyone have an idea for a typeface for the motto?
Do we want anything on the sleeves?

<3 gbx's style in his pic. We'll all get the chance to approve the design, right?
Also, pls pls pls check the finnish is correct, with an actual finnish person (suggest Charlie Wegelius, who may want to buy a jersey), thx.

Ed have you discuessed the potential for fake sponsors or is that out of the budge?

Undecided, care to throw up some swatches?
― American Fear of Pranksterism (Ed), Monday, 12 July 2010 18:56 (fourteen years ago) link
side panel (underarm to waist) suggestion (cost permitting):
(L) EAT TO RIDE(R) RIDE TO EAT
I know it's not original (poached from Hunt3r's bros) but could anything say it better than that?

Essentially any shade you want as they do it by sublimation printing. I like the green from the current maillot vert, too much to have Euskatel orange side panels and chevron? (NB should not be trusted on colours)
I like the idea of a sans serif typeface like the bernard one.

sounds similar to schleck's motto painted on his specialised "I don't dream my life I live my dreams"

should poll best and ugliest TdF strips. Footon Servetoo ftw ugliest.
― American Fear of Pranksterism (Ed), Monday, 12 July 2010 19:25 (fourteen years ago) link
lighter blue (violet ?)instead of navy works best with lime green colorways (according to industry reports!), also reminds me of my vintage adidas oregons trainers.

Would poll TdF bikes but there is nowhere I can find with images of all 22 teams handy, not helped by leaders riding different frames either.

Cofidis have a good kit. Columbia's is awful. Garmin doesn't do it for me either, Radioshack is a bit robotic. I like Astana's colourscheme but they're tainted. Euskeltal kit is great, but somehow Rabobank isn't. Lampre's over the top. Saxobank is okay.
