Everyone:

I was asked yesterday about BF So Cal jerseys since it's been a long time since the last order. Any interest for a new order and maybe a new color for 2008? (I vote blue!) A new design too, if anyone (cough, chimivee, cough) wants to design a new one. Otherwise, same design but new color?

If there is enough interest, I'd be willing to handle the ordering, money collection and distribution this time. But there must be enough interest to make it worthwhile. If not, never mind.

Let me know your thoughts by voting in the POLL!:)

Depends on design. I saw last one and wasn't really a big fan of it.

I would be interested.

I'm in.

I am interested....but ME..you might regret that offer....just ask CJ...he did it twice and said it was a PITA
But blue works but something new would work....
If you start now, we might have them by september....Champion is slowwwwww

as long as they look cool and don't proclaim "BF" or "Bikerforums."

Count me in!!!

I'm down, yo.

It would be cool if we could subsidize the cost by getting sponsors logos on the jerseys. It would be cheaper, plus we would look like a real team.

I'm guessing you just want free samples...:)

I'm in .... if I'm allowed to wear it :rolleyes:

edit: Maybe include a full kit, including shorts, arm warmers, and socks.

Huh? :p :D

Now that's the SoCal BF poster boy! Strike a pose!

I"m in. . .dependent on design, like Umney. I vote for blue, like ME.

I have to say, however, blue just will not match any of my existing stuff, nor will it match my new bike. How about something with whites, blacks, and reds?

:D

I would like one..

:DRemind me of how you voted on the OCP poll?

Remind me of how you voted on the OCP poll?

First, note the large, toothy, green smiley. Secondly, there was an OCP poll?

:D

Heh.

I know it's a PITA, but since I'm the loudest on here and you all put up with me (and some of you even :love: me...right? RIGHT!? :p), I don't mind doing it. But there will be a hard cut off date, after which NO jersey order will be put through. Also, I won't put the order in until I have the cash.

And can we use anyone other than Champion???

Oh, and I'll need the talents of either Chimivee or Happytime or ??? to design it. I'm all for a new look since it's a new year. :)

:rolleyes: Noted: NO for Chuckles.

Exactly my thinking. :rolleyes:

Voler to me makes better quality jerseys, but I think they have a 25 minimum...and not sure if they offer the options...ie: ss, ls, full zip, 3/4 zip.. mixable within a single order...

im pretty sure you cant mix and match via voler...champion isnt too bad as far as time goes, weve just always ordered at a time of year when everyone and their brother is doing the same thing!!!

Okay, so I'm going to take a headcount. So far:

Yes:
Herb
merider1
Indolent
Il Bruto
IamTim
BeeDee
Tbrown

Maybe:
UmneyDurak
Bernmart
Magicant (I think)
Scootcore (I think)

No, I'm too cool anymore for that:
Chuckles



Others?

I'm probably a "no" - as I discovered in Happy's jersey poll, I have far too many.

But if it's incredibly awesomely cool, I can be swayed.

Please adjust your budget in Happy's other poll.

Interested depending on design (since I already have the black/red version). :)

No.

I'm going to start a poll so that I don't have to go through this thread for answers. Sorry, guys I should have done this to begin with. Sigh. :o

Please adjust your budget in Happy's other poll.This would fall under "unbudgeted" expense, amortized over several years.

How do you want the poll structured? I'll add it.

This will make it easier for me to track. If I don't get enough interest or someone to design it, I'll drop it. But it might be nice to have some new ones. Please WAIT for the Poll....it's coming. VOTE in poll, please, so that I can keep track.

Oops...I didn't see this in time, Voltman. :o Thanks, though. You want to kill this thread? :D

:)

You're good, Voltman! :)

Well, well, well...Chuckles isn't too cool for school. :p

We need a designer though, cause you do NOT want to see what I'd throw together. :o

It will be a retro design this year, right? And in wool?

/kidding

would the design be an evolution of the previous version or something totally new? i liked the design, but it would be neat to go a different direction.

i have ideas, but no one will like them. too racy and loud.

Well, you know, you design too! Why don't you send me your design, and people may love it. :)

I might. :D

I might. :D


See, Chuckles? Two women want you to whip out the goods...so get to designing! :D

I met the NorCal Voler reps when I went to a cycling conference... she said that they could do most of the same stuff Champion did.... (of course I didn't get too nitty gritty with her on the details though)

btw... I voted yes, depending on design :p

My tri club uses Squadra (US division of Castelli) located in Carlsbad. However it looks to be pricier than the Champion stuff. Looks like they will do less than 25, but they don't list the price in the catalog, just "CALL".

EDIT: min order is 24 pieces from a particular "group" :(

I'm in.

We might get up to 25, we'll see. We need a design, though, and that is where I'm useless.

sorry, it doesn't fit into my cycling budget this year.

I don't think i could design another jersey for free....it takes quite a bit of time to do it right. i would be down for buying one if they are cool though, but i don't think i can wear it really as we are supposed to be in kits for all rides.

As far as sponsors go, Bike Forums should be added to the list as my jersey (combined with my cool on & off bike character) brought Bike Forums at least 500 new active members in 2007. And that's a fact! :D
