Can't leave out WayNorCal.

I don't know how happy I am with it, but here's something I put together.

(The list of climbs is just stuff I pulled off the top of my head. It can all be changed, if necessary.)

This is the one for me. Has NorCal on it, has locations (them's hills...dangyouX) I love the California poppy and the colors are perfect. The graphics are eye pleasing. I'm sold. I want this one. Let's do this. I like it. This is perfect. Let's do this.

Hmmm... I could be going out on a limb here but I think Siu likes this one :rolleyes:.

Alex, I hope you don't mind. I took your work and put it on this.
Its still missing some stuff like the bikeforums.net on the sides and maybe some other icons.
But you get the picture.

Oh cool!!! I like this even better!!! :D:D:D

Nice! Took me a while to work out what the poppy was?

Shouldn't there be a small jersey in the picture of the jersey on the jersey?

:roflmao:

kind of like a coffee table book about coffee tables, that can be used as a coffee table

Nice! Took me a while to work out what the poppy was?Yeah, I never claimed to be an artist. :p

OK. Final version I believe.

Here is my co-entry with Alex's great logo. The only difference is the bikeforums.net on the side, the CA flag on the back, and the sides and colar are silver.

Sucks being the age that I am, I want something more for my age group.

We seem to end up on the group liking jersey's(excuse me for the generalization), that older people would wear.

Though I do like the symbol alex made. But the golden poppy? What are we hippies?

Need to add Bohlman On Orbit to that list of climbs. I just got home from doing that blasted climb. At night even.

FTW, x136! ... i'm curious, how would it look if you flip the bottom text so it's not reading inverted? ... love this one!

I think I liked the white panels better than the silver. But I don't wear jerseys, so I don't know if white is an awful idea or not. :)

I cleaned it up a bit and got rid of the Impact font (blechh):

If this gains steam, I'd like to try to redraw the poppy to look like... a poppy. Also, I'd like some input as to the content of the ring of rides. Like I said, I just stuck a couple in there. I don't know what I'm talking about. :p

I think you had the right idea on the first logo. The mountains on top and the major/minor climbs on the bottom. It gave it a lot of balance.

+1 on the white better than silver.

It gave it a lot of balance.Yeah, but it bugged me that the font sizes were different, and throwing off the visual balance. Are there any big mountains I'm forgetting that might help fill up the top?

I liked the old font better than the bold black. And white panels. But hey. I get what is chosen, ya know? :)

Fark. Inkscape crashed, and I hadn't saved since the first version. It managed to backup the second instance I had open, but that was just a trace of the poppy. :rolleyes:

No worries, I can recreate it.

Ooooooooo nice. Okay that looks cool. And the lettering is nice and even now.

Let's do this one. :):):)

Thanks for all your hard work, mtnwalker and X.

Are the green and blue panels on the jersey stock colors or anything? It might be neat if they could match the green and the blue in the logo (the text background and the sky).

Also, how are shorts going to work? I'm guessing matching is out of the question with a design like this, no?

We need more entries so we have lots of possibilities for the vote.

Blah! I just read Champ-sys rules and they want Pantone (http://www.pantone.com/pages/pantone/colorfinder.aspx)colors used only. So revised colors.

I'm curious how that jersey would look with black or a charcoalish color instead of white.

I think it'd be better with more dark color on it.

I'm not digging the swoopy curves Tony. It looks too much like the semi-custom designs that some other vendors have, i.e. pic a style and put "your logo here". Also, the California flag is is out of place. Perhaps just the bear like on 2007 jersey. Also, in case we want to have matching bibs, the "color" part should be one of the base colors that the shorts come in.

Jon, they do have loose MTB type jerseys as well. MTB Jersey template (http://www.champ-sys.com/files/BMX.pdf)

I think most folks wanted lighter colors this year.

jersey is lookin good.

What about the cali flag centered on the middle pocket? I would suggest on a shoulder but that is a little to "issue" looking.

Here's my latest. Inspired by the old Peugeot/Michelin jersey.

Guilty as charged. :o

I wanted a jersey with lines and a bit more design. And I don't have the time nor the skills to create them on the template. So, I picked the simplest from their predesigned templates and changed the colors and added the logo's.:D

I like the colors here, and the logo with the flowers. Not sure about the bear, though...it seems just "stuck" on rather than integrating with the rest of the design.

I'm digging the brighter, lighter colors, too.

You guys are doing great work, by the way. Thanks!

Blast I like your jersey, it seems a little more on the traditional cyclist side and simple. Nice colors and is to the point as to where we are from and what we are actually representing (other than the penguin i like it).

WoW! Great Jersey! I like the logo Alex came up with and colors are really nice. However, BR's got a point. The Atoll Blue is hard to match. I tried pulling up the pantone colors to see what would come closest to the blue that they have for the predyed lycra and it seems like their Royal comes close to PANTONE 18-3937 TC
Blue Yonder..or I'm really color blind and my monitor at work is not calibrated right. =) Any thoughts?

Oh and Ty, Champ-Sys insists that their logo goes on the middle back pocket. That's why the bear was on the back right pocket last year.

What do you guys think about putting a Champ-Sys logo on the middle back pocket??

I didn't think about the predyed lyrca issue. If we have to choose, IF, then I will go with the Royal Blue. That Navy is just too dark.

Henry, maybe you can have the penguin sticking his head out of one of the rear pockets. Kind of like the old WWII "Kilroy Was Here" graffiti or the Slipstream-Chipotle burrito. :)

Ooo. Good idea. Why didn't I think of that?

I'm up for a Jersey, I dropped a few pounds and last year's jersey fits okay (though its still a bit tight in the middle...I'm a clyde, what can I say!) :)

Thats a great idea. And don't forget to add the flippers hanging from the sides of the head to give the full effect.:D

I think most folks wanted lighter colors this year.

I understand, but at least half of it is light green and blue.

A dark charcoal would make that jersey frigg'n sweet.

Just a thought.. Instead of a regular circle with the names on it..what if this was a sprocket? Would that be too busy?
