We could - we never considered a long sleeved design the first time round so endura just suggested rounding off the colours. The sleeve design could be changed for the long sleeved jerseys so they match the armwarmers...not sure how current owners will feel about that.

Also, the TAL logo will become ENDURA.

Ordering is done on one central order. It seems that there is plenty of demand to make it viable, so the next stage is for me to prepare the order form so that everyone can place their wants and monies by 21st November which will give me a week to finalise the order.

BTFB - I should have read the whole post before typing!

I'm away in Chile for two weeks from the 14th Nov but I don't want to miss out. Help!

I like th eidea of keeping the arm warmers in keeping with exisiting shirts...I reckon leaving the arm warmers as per the exisiting long sleeves but just add a simple CC motif or the Bike ?

 

[Will1985]

This is basically the current armwarmer template...play with it as you like.

What about something like this. Includes the orange and blue but plenty of white on the inside of the arm too? You can put blue/orange/black at either end.

I'm not bothered about where the writing is (I find if they're gonna stare at your boobs, they're gonna stare at your boobs!). I am rather partial to pink though. Don't know if there will be enough interest to warrant a pink order although I'm sure there are some blokes out there secretly hankering after a pink jersey

 

[Will1985]

Yes, I secretly want a pink jersey....d'oh!

Yes, I secretly want a pink jersey....d'oh!

Wow, that's practically a glow in the dark pink!

If you put a bit of celeste and red on it too perhaps.

??

you can tsee it in this pic but I added the web site address in white in small text under the bike

Edit:

Or perhaps like this with more white on show?



or like this:



...personally I like the white simply because it is higher vis especially when turning

 

[marinyork]

What about. It is BFTB's design but with those blue and orange triangles on to give it a bit more colour (much of it is very much still white, including the inside arms.

Could we have a L--->R namecheck on that pic?

Sorry Fnaar, forgot to tell you, you had better take a look at this post just in case the whole motley crew turn up at Coldstream to meet you, should the relay jersey ever travel northward again...

I like those triangle designs when looked at in isolation, however I think we need to see the designs alongside of the exisiting CC shirts so we can see how they match. I wish I had better software to do that. Here's my best shot:



I see no reason why the lowwer triangle/flash cant be done...the upper one looks cool but it doesnt line up with the exisiting shirt lines JMHO

My s/s orange and black jersey stained very badly with my sweat and oily skin. The collar was turning brown, as were the white areas on the front and back.

I solved this by steeping the top in a bucket of Vanish Crystal White Oxy Action (or whatever those tubs of powder are called) for a day ever now and again when I see the stains developing. A wash after that and the stains go. It'll take a few steeping and washing cycles at the beginning to get rid of the big build ups, but after that just once every now and again suffices.

The instructions say no more than 12 hours, but I've been doing it for a day for quite some time now and there are no adverse effects. The colours are still as bright as those worn by my PfS compatriots.

Cool, I'll give it a go!!! It might just rescue mine...have used oxy, but only for about 10mins, was too worried about it falling apart....

Would be good if the design could be amended to have a blue/black collar instead of white!

Changing the design of the new shirts is a good idea because the old CC shirt will now become an 'origional classic' and will fetch a fortune on ebay one day.
