LFGSS Jersey design competition

I don't think they have to kill the morino's to get the wool off them. If they did it at the start of summer i'm sure the little fella's would be glad to loose the winter coat. So see it's super animal friendly.

Animal welfare developments
In Australia, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mulesing and Nordstrom and George (UK) stopped stocking Merino wool products.
In 2008 mulesing once again became a topical issue in Sweden with a documentary on mulesing shown on Swedish television.[9] This was followed by allegations of bribery and intimidation by Australian government and wool industry officials,[10] the allegations were disputed by the wool industry[11]. Several Swedish and European clothing retailers, including H&M, Zara (clothing), and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lindex[/I]].
New strains of merinos that don't require mulesing are being promoted in South Australia.[12] 'Thin-skinned' sheep from western Victoria are also being promoted as a solution.

Cheers VeeVee. That's clear and concise without the meandering rant that I'd have embarked on.

You've even managed to cover the issue without diverting away from sheep and straying into the realms of how keeping pets is immoral kipnapping and how riding horses is akin to child rape (as I would have done)

I've heard this mulesing:

He was a bit horse though...

Vive Wikipedia! To be honest I didn't know anything about the issue and as I love wool and just bought myself 2 light merino tee-shirts for the summer your comment made me want to research it. I'm intrigued to know what cycling gear you wear though.

Smeear hats (Not the tweed ones), Gloves without leather(Pearl Izumi generally), Sidi's.

Other than that it's thin cotton t-shirts to ride during summer a clean t-shirt for when I get to my destination. For the bottom half it's all about jeans or combats.

The east end drink thread would have you believe that I wear head to toe lycra though ;]

Well I'm in. I too love (happy) merino.

Nothing from sweat shops I hope

He was an assclown.

I'm in... Seeing it was my idea.... Only joking.. But i really am in.
I think the LFGSS CBGB style letters across the band at the front. Simple and cool as.

Got to be simple and classic a bit like this...

A red x in a box is quite subtle reference to the forum....

How about...

Well, once the ethic/quality issues are sorted, where do we send the designs?
Just post them in this thread?

That's the idea. Then I'm going to collate them into a poll, as per the T-shirts, we then vote, the winner is sent to the manufacturer once pricing, payment, yada yada yada, have been sorted.

This is going to take a while (took 8 weeks for the t's until now) anyway, we really don't need to have everything set in stone right now.

well summer is gone already... merino sounds like a great idea :D

I can't believe that you're actually right. I thought this must be some form of interweb based pisstake but the world wide web has got your back

Damn, stupid work block my access to this site for some reason. I'll check when I get home, but I knew I was right anyway ;-)

My 2p

BTW this lettering shouldn't be embroidered in my op., that stuff always buckles and warps on anything you wash regularly (may not a problem for some of you). I think its should be done in that velour furry type stuff like old school cycle jerseys.

Wish I could see what it was, but I totally agree with your point, classic and simple all the way.

I'm not bothered about the ethics, gimme a cheap AND good quality Jersey.

How about...

You might need these: ;-)

... that rubs off when in contact with anything else, such as a top layer or bag...

Go to proxy.org and paste "http://uncyclopedia.org/wiki/Undictionary:M#Merino" into the search then click "Go".

If you're anything like me and too impatient to wait until you're home ;]
