Fundraiser: Hardcourt Bike Polo CC x Milltag Cycling Jerseys

I had this idea the other day when trying to find something to wear to track...lots of polo players also ride other disciplines and I thought it would be really nice to have a Hardcourt Bike Polo CC cycling jersey. I know we've had lots of t-shirts recently but this is something with longevity and usefulness! I was thinking of keeping it vague so that anyone from any polo club could buy one and we could raise more money too! I have spoken to Milltag and they're up for it but we have to move fast. So, I would like to get a list of people who might be interested and try and find someone to design it, I was hoping to base it on something like the LPC tattoo? Feel free to tell me if it's not a goer.

Interested list:

1. Jess
   

I'll buy it.

I'd check with Max, Matt, etc before doing anything to close to the tattoo. Also I don't like it ;)

I'd get one if the design was simple/unassuming, I like the tattoo but would want a jersey to be a bit more subtle.

Something more along the lines of Todd's home kit than the away kit/the lfgss jersey

Noted. Simple design. Okay.

Is 'Hardcourt Bike Polo CC' a LDN-only affair?

I was thinking of keeping it vague so that anyone from any polo club could buy one and we could raise more money too!

I was using it as an example. It would be nice if they were international even.

If it's primarily a track/ride jersey then I'd definitely play on that with a "I'd rather be playing bike polo" style line.

^ Also has international appeal, keep it fun/upbeat and it should go down well with non-polo playing people too?

+1 to jono and ed, nice idea jessie

Count me in, I wore my LPC jersey for an offroad race recently but a proper jersey would be much better.

I'd be up for one of these, preferably with a full length or 3/4 length zip.

I'd buy one, probably.

I like this idea (and I'm non-polo, non-track)

I would also buy one...

sounds cool, real nice idea. would be in for one!

Yeah maybe depends on designs and fits

everything fits to you darlin'

Yeah maybe depends on designs and fits

+1 and probs 2 if there are 2 differents colors!

Okay I think that's enough people for a limited run. There is a template on the Milltag site which I might try and knock something up on but if anyone else wants a go, feel free: http://milltag.cc/custom-jerseys

What are people thinking colour-wise? I was thinking dark grey with pink and black writing? (court and balls, yeah I'm lame) Also Hardcourt Bike Polo CC was just something I made up but I think it's all encompassing?

Adam, they are similar fit to your team jerseys no?

Could these shirts not double up/serve as 'Team GB' equivalents for when teams from these islands travel to Euros/Worlds etc.? Could this venture not be symbolic of the birth of a UK body...

Is this something you could hit up BDW for a design?

Or even make it a competion, winning designer gets free jersey or something?

In, by the way.

We always found, we got a lot more new players from the "polo, wtf is that" comments at bike events than anywhere else.

A jersey that could be used for racing/non-polo things saying "UK bike polo" on it?

I'd certainly have one.

Also, this!

better to say "UK bike polo" than "Hardcourt Bike Polo CC"? Something all encompassing rather than a made-up cycling club?

Colin
and err ... cough skinsuits? ;)

Yeah maybe depends on designs.

"UK HBP CC; WTF is that?"

Jack already has his own jersey.

ha, brilliant suggestions.

Colin, I left it as Hardcourt Bike Polo so it was deliberately vague. That way international people could buy them as well, I was worried not enough people in the UK would be interested and given that nobody else has put their name on the list yet, I own't commit to getting someone to design it...

I'd buy one. I think more people would put their names down when there is a solid design.

What's the minimum order?
