LFGSS Jersey (My Little Pony idea)

That first fatcyclist jersey is amazing.. If we get something anywhere near that I'd happily buy one

Oh my GOD.

glorious thread.

I didn't realise I liked ponys so much, some wonderful designs *Charco.
*and I popped onto the interslice to check images and the two below struck me as most appropriate, and yes, misogynist

I just checked the UK Trademark registry.

You can go crazy with the pink stripe, it isn't something that Rapha have trademarked. Obviously using their name is a no-no.

Well, as much as a loose collection of misfits could have a cycling club.

There was talk over at scott's place about how cool it would be if the forum had some colours (a race strip, etc) for those taking part in track events, time trials, and just for the seriously long rides when it's kinda nice being able to spot people and ride as a pack based on colours.

And so I jokingly proposed a My Little Pony themed LFGSS strip, because wouldn't it just be the bomb to not only not take it all too seriously, but if wins happen to beat those who are taking shit seriously whilst being Pony powered. I imagine a piss take of the Ferrari stallion, with a big butt, a cute wink and wings. And perhaps take the piss out of Rapha and make the strip black with the pony being pink?

Dunno, those were just the first thoughts that came to mind and they made me chuckle.

Point is though, do we want to notionally create a cycling club? It would be to give anyone who has no colours to ride under a banner to call their own, and to have a laugh taking the piss out of Velo Londres and London Dynamo. Beers at the finish line, some sense of identity or something.

I'm 50/50, I don't race so part of me doesn't care. But then there's part of me that thinks that it would be such a laugh it's almost worth starting again (just to lose, but that's because I only ever lost when I raced crits).

I love this idea. I've been thinking about joining RollaP a lot lately as well as joining in on the Tuesday Night Ride Club. I'm not fussed about racing - I just want to do longer rides. If this meant that there'd be more forums rides that were a bit longer I'd totally be down. Only thing I worry about with RollaP and the Tuesday Night Ride Club is that they have some good riders and I don't want to fall behind. Call me a pussy, I don't care. Plus ponies rule. :)

Mixed ability FTW.

Oh my GOD.

Woooooah. That shit's fucked up.
They need help...

Baby CC in his improved room and wearing his new clown suit and necklace!

Plagiarist.

I do worry about the outcome of an intellectual property action brought against the Forum by an alleged copyright owner when the design has been created by someone with your user name ;o)

Oh my GOD.

see thats scary and its on the internet.....I LIVE with one of these people (seriously, my little pony EVERYTHING, attends conventions etc etc.) and yet she's 26 with a PHD in iranian pre-history (or something...) we dont call her ponygirl for nothing...strange (but lovely) girl

Have you ever googled for ponygirl?

no, and there is a good reason for that ;) .....she also has a quite worrying collection of dolls with genitals (seriously)...

Those are awesome! I want a pair now!!

wait - we've forgotten something: the LFGSS story in a label inside the jersey a la Rapha "One day, Velocio had an idea...' etc. etc.

I also have a friend called ponygirl but that's, erm, for different reasons.

I have no idea what you're talking about.

The exception that proves the rule.. :)

You can't have HTFU on a pink and rainbow jersey. Fucking weirdos.

cliveo dare I say it but are you not being too much of a lawyer about this? If someone on the forum sold 200 shirts for £20 each featuring a design similar to My Little Pony, the worst that would happen is that Hasbro's corporate lawyer-bots would issue a cease-and-desist letter for passing off. By which time everyone who wanted a shirt would have one. Their damages - if they wanted to push it that far - would presumably only be the price of the shirts ie £4000 ie about four hours of over-priced attorney time. Not much of a risk surely? Making a My Little Pony do something disgusting, or positioning it next to some swear-words might raise their ire a bit more though...

What, like a pony fucking a midget?

For instance, yes. Paging Dr Freud.
