  1. Right, split this out from 'spotted'. Four designs to come, to be voted on, if we can get more than ten people then they should come in about £38.50 (+ delivery). Also they do Junior sizes.

    I'm going to keep citycycling.co.uk off the jersey, as I simply don't know what I'm doing with that site at the mo (just repaid the hosting etc.). It'll be a forum jersey, working out if a PoP reference makes it look cluttered (and will need to get the okay from PoP to include it).

    Note: please don't request amendments to colours, positions of text and logos etc. That'll change, then someone will request something else then someone will request something else ad nauseum.

    You'd need PoP, CC and CCE; make it nice and cluttered like a real team jersey.

    I hear what you say about PoP on the other thread. It was just a thought.
    :o)

  5. Actually, have come up with an idea I think works nicely - Flickr isn't playing at the moment though, so can't upload anything!

    I could be tempted by a real cycling jersey to mix it up with my technical t-shirts. Looking forward to the vote.

    Could we also come up with a CCE wave, like the VW one:?

    We could also come up with a class system and a set of rules...:

  8. Some very very rough ideas thrown up. Against better judgement I will take suggestions.... (but always bear in mind - can't please all of the people all of the time, so your suggestions may not make it!)

    The Racing Stripe

    The Big Splash

    The Subtle Swoosh

    The Battleship Camouflage

    I like the simple design on the front and very much like the panda on the back. Also like how you've used big friendly letters.

    In order of preference for the base shirt: Stripe, swoosh, splash, ship.

    I liked the racing stripe on their website, nice in blue.

    The lothian buses one (swoosh, don't know why it reminds me of lothian buses) is also ok.

    I'm not overly keen on any of the colour combinations, but I'm finding The Big Splash to be most satisfying overall with The Battleship Camouflage as runner-up.

    I do like the simplicity of the lettering and logo, and would be inclined to like The Subtle Swoosh rather more if the front lettering and the panda were both lower to avoid intersecting the swoosh (but maybe not possible?).

    Couldn't they just call the 'Battleship Camouflage', Mapei?

    like.

    big splash gets my vote.

    perhaps need to ask mr kaputnik for permission to use his panda too?

    Jerseys will normally be easiest read from the back on the road; perhaps CityCycling Edinburgh should be most prominent on the back, rather than the logo? Club logos would traditionally be on the front.

    A little CCE on each sleeve would be a nice touch as club initials often displayed like this.

  16. Battleship Camouflage was my name for it Baldcyclist :)

    Colours are negotiable (caveated with that "can't please everyone"). Splash and Battleship my favourites, I think the panda needs to be a little smaller on Splash for it to work. And yes, tried to stick to simplicity with the lettering etc. - and apologies for being grumpy to fimm about the PoP suggestion, the Panda does kinda work.

    (final design will have to be done in a bit more detail, will continue to take feedback, then go for a final design, judge possible purchasers, then run it by Impsport for costs).

    Yip, have mentioned a number of times that PoP permission would also be needed :P

    yes. i've seen the discussion re POP, wasn't suggesting you were neglecting those issues!

    @WC I like the sizing of the panda on The Big Splash at the moment - it looks like it is riding along a yellow path with abstract scenery in the fore and background.

    Oh I think I gave PoP rights to that... if they're happy, I'm happy. As for colours...

    The traitional corporate colours of Edinburgh are the sort of dark red / Madder as seen on the buses, trams and also used extensively on the Corporation-era council housing. I believe most of the old Edinburgh cycling clubs of yore used to include it in one way or another. I think ERC originally was this sort of red with white and Comet was yellow with a red and/or black stripe. Here's 3 variants of the latter;

    John McIntosh, John Kerr, Peter Hadden by alljengi, on Flickr

    In them days the club name was embroidered on the shorts.

    Nice work WC!

    Splash and Battleship get my vote. I second Kappers suggestion of having 'CityCycling Edinburgh' on the back.

    Would buy.

    In order of preference: swoosh, splash (very close between these two), camouflage, stripe. That's partly because I'm not so keen on the colours on "splash"...

    (No need for apologies :o) )

    Big Splash gets my vote. would consider buying too :-)

    although you'd need to add a new rule on the spotted thread. Spotted in one of these = Nul Points (in a French accent)

    Is it white & gold or blue & black?

    Is that to match your Kaffenback?

    Hmm, I don't think that the lettering and logos fit as neatly on The Big Splash in that combination - it now bothers me that CCE is up aginst the top and bottom edges of the splash (could CCE be reduced in size to have more breathing space?) and the position of the panda on the scenic path is less satisfying too - inverting the colours *might* help a little...

    Posted 8 years ago #
  29. "Eww"

    Yep.

    And agree with jdamielp too. There are much nicer colour combos out there.

    I think the Splash is leading the way, what do people think works as a colourway? Also, do people like the cce up front, or the full name?

    CCE for me. Personally I would rather the panda was a bit more discreet.
