New Jersey Design

Raam · 10-03-2009 3:22pm #1

to our esteemed leader, TinyExplosions.

Please design a new kit

Chips Lovell · 10-03-2009 3:25pm

Black and pink please.

rottenhat · 10-03-2009 3:26pm

And a long-sleeve version in wool, please.

petethedrummer · 10-03-2009 3:30pm

Is this not exploitative of the fans, making them fork out for a new kit every 12 months?

With yellow shorts?

Why a new jersey ... you want the old one to be more euro? I love the one we have at the moment.

It's to create an elite...the proud few with the original jersey versus the army of Freds with the new one.

We always have to progress. Besides, if we get a new jersey, then our old one is officialy retro

TinyExplosions · 10-03-2009 3:39pm

Will see what I can come up with.... bear in mind though, that there's the design cost all over again if we get a new kit (adding 300 odd quid onto the order) -anyone want to sponsor it?

blorg · 10-03-2009 3:42pm

The current jersey is very good, difficult to see how it could be improved upon... Unless you were thinking of adding a tiger print?

On the one hand I would certainly buy a new jersey design and it's good to have the variety; on the other hand having just the one jersey gives us a bit of visual cohesion if we are headed out in a group or on a sportive, etc.

There can always be improvement! (for example, a faux 6 pack look is always good)

Particularly attractive on the beer-gutted fifty-something club veteran, I find.

Chips Lovell · 10-03-2009 3:47pm

I've already got that on my club jersey. One faux six pack is enough for me, thanks.

... ah come on, be innovative, think outside the box, draw fake boobs instead of the 6 pack or something.

Hannah Montana and High school musical a la Boardsies?... I will stick to the old design for Ultimate Euroness.

scottreynolds · 10-03-2009 4:55pm

This is a pretty special design........... I think its the dogs knob.

As for sponsoring I could be persuaded.

As for the faux six pack -- not required here. I have a real keg.

Oh yes -- this was designed by our friendly team as carvalho.

Blue schmooo. We gotta get noticed in these things.

Raam · 10-03-2009 4:58pm

OK, the pink addition is better. But it needs some black.

Pink and White for me please.

dub_skav · 10-03-2009 5:03pm

Why not just do an away version of last year's kit, i.e. blue on orange. Then at least if a mix of the jersies were out togeher it would be obvious we were all from the same "club".

scottreynolds · 10-03-2009 5:03pm

Another cool kit -- design not colors obviously.

Raam · 10-03-2009 5:03pm

Aye, the pez kit is nice.

Would you like custom naming, i.e. "Bamboo", on the kit.

No

Chips Lovell · 10-03-2009 5:07pm

It has verticle stripes, no? Shudder.

Raam · 10-03-2009 5:10pm

What about a variation of CSF Navigare? With pink and black obviously. The arm warmers would be awsome

Noooo! Their kit looks like a clown costume.

Much preferred their old orange kit when they were Ceramica Panaria.

scottreynolds · 10-03-2009 5:11pm

Got a quote the other day for some custom kit for myself -- sponsored by my business of course.

2*Short-sleeve jersey 1/4 zip
1*Training jacket
2*Bib shorts (light weight)
2*Bib tights
Design

Total was around 700.....

I'm still deciding whether to go ahead though as it expensive.

would suit us -- I can see us all now pushing our bikes on the wicklow 200

pure class.

Raam · 10-03-2009 5:13pm

Right, I'm off to find a pink and black stripey kit. If anyone sees one let me know

Rapha Condor kit is nice:

Raam · 10-03-2009 5:15pm

Title for the world's most boring kit goes to... Rapha Condor.

DirkVoodoo · 10-03-2009 5:19pm

I like the current design, why not just switch out the colors and keep the same pattern?

If your going for pro-team kits then I like the new Garmin one.

How about a boards test team, devoted purely to trying out new fashions and euro accessories?

What's to say you won't like a new design also?

My dwindling bank balance.

Chips Lovell · 10-03-2009 5:22pm

Argyle? We've already got a pattern thing going on with the current kit.

If we change the colours and you want the jersey then you still gotta pay for it.

DirkVoodoo · 10-03-2009 5:25pm

But it will be cheaper no? Is there not a one off design fee on new designs that was rather substantial.

Anyway, get yer crayons out and start trying to convince people!

That was all subsidised by Boards and Cullen Book-keeping, from what I remember.

ba · 10-03-2009 5:46pm

that rapha condor kit is beautiful.

jimshady101 · 10-03-2009 5:53pm

If some one was to sponsor the design of the short sleeve jersey could a company name/ web address be put on the jersey?
If so, how much space will they have on the jersey?

The reason I ask is that I know some one that might be interested.

lafors · 10-03-2009 5:56pm

Here ya go Raam, the "Away" Jersey

(Just a quick photoshop, the small boards logo should be pink too. And the eyes that look grey could be white)

ba · 10-03-2009 6:00pm

like the rapha condor kit, the livestrong gear lance wears training is quite tasty. like the boards.ie kit, there are few colours, minimum logo coverage and all in all it is well designed. think we should remember things like this when designing the new one.

Lance doesn't look too pleased about someone taking his photo.

It's a bit too "bumblebee man" looking for me.
