LFGSS CC - LFGSS Cycle Club

That was the proposal originally. Black base colour with a dark grey pattern on top.

But what British Cycling are looking for when they consider distinctiveness is how it will look when a pack of cyclists in a crit race come screaming past you.

Could you tell one team apart from another.

So distinctiveness means: at speed. And that means: different blocks of colour, massive logos, unique colour combinations, etc. I figure that if a test of distinctiveness existed it would be along the lines of a blurred photo of a pack of cyclists, what team are they each riding for? Any dark jersey is going to fail that test given how many teams have dark jerseys today.

Anything that tries for understated or subtle fails to be distinctive enough. And there are way too many teams with black or dark colours as their jersey.

Hence... to be distinctive in such a pack we should look at a light coloured base, and really distinctive logo, and thus when a pack of cyclists goes by it's really obvious who the LFGSS rider is.

Which is why I'm now definitely looking at 2 jerseys. The highly distinctive one for racing, and the understated commuter/social one.

I'd like a race one.

I look a twat in cycling gear anyway. So nothing to lose.
