LFGSS CC - LFGSS Cycle Club

put a big goatse on the back

That should discourage wheel suckers

...My current thought on that is either black with a great big f'ing white star on it...
Make that a red star and I'm in!

so sharkpits in black it is then?

Alright... new thought for the race jersey:

White, with midnight blue (dark navy) LFGSS logo the size of a chest banner, and the two light blue strips completing the banner as it wraps around.

Clean, classic, simple, very distinctive, good for summer, good for night rides.

And then make the black jersey be the social/casual/drunk jersey, and nice and minimalist.

or to ditch black and go for a coloured jersey.

What if the base is a colour with a black pattern on top? Or do what I did with the ladies jersey and have a black front and back and coloured side panels/sleeve/collar.

^^ That also sounds good

I look fat in white

Scoots ladies design is awesome

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 think that's a good idea.

I'd like a race one.

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

Mock it up & print - designdemocracy involving the 'Like' generation yields the slowest output

I'd be easy to spot in a race whatever the jersey colour. I'd be the one at the back.

From pipwish's keirin thread, the blue looks really bright here. lfgss blue?

That blue look like a nice shade.

Gorgeous baby blue™®

It's a bit "Sky" blue now.

yes

This Milltag custom example has some nice touches especially the London font on the side panel.

Start white at the shoulders and create some sickfadez into black at the bottom edge of the jersey. Then we can keep the idea of pairing it with plain black bib shorts.

you will look like a pint of Guinness

Perfect.

Unicorns.
