Ok Foosters, here it is. Thanks to artifice for amazing work on the design.:beer::thumb:

Race Cut
We've designed our race cut jersey based on a European fit. It's a tailored design worn by only the fittest cyclists who are lean and mean. Think pro riders, elite category 1 and 2 riders and those super fit skinny guys that love to go up mountains fast. Just because you're a racer doesn't mean you should automatically order the race cut. We know lots of racers who order "club cut". Why? Because although they race almost every weekend they still have an American build and the tight-fitting Euro race cut just won't do the job. Again, order the size kit!
Club Cut
For everybody else we offer the club cut. Mind you, our club cut is not a baggy potato-sack jersey. It's still a classic cycling jersey that fits the majority of our customers....even the racers who are not as slim as they might think. Not sure which cut is for you? Did we mention you should order the size kit?
Here's how to get one.
PM me with the following information:
Size- XS to XXXL
Cut- Womens, Race, Club
Zippers- 1/2 length, 3/4 length, full length
Rat or No Rat
Once you've done that, send me money :D Currently, it appears you have to have a paypal account for this. I'm looking into putting a button on here so it'll be much simpler and I'll be able to take credit cards. Ok, log on to Paypal and send $58 to unsafealpine@gmail.com. This will cover the jersey and shipping to you. If you don't live in the U.S. and want one, please send me a PM and I'll figure out how to get one to you.
Please link your BF username and your Paypal email address so I know who's actually giving me money. I figure that might come in handy down the road. :) Thanks.
The ordering will take place on Monday, August 25th.
That means you need to PM me and I need to have money in my Paypal account by that date, otherwise you don't get one of these sweet jerseys. If you want one after this date, PM me with a wrtten doctor's excuse and I'll see what I can do.
Any other questions?
PM me.
Awesome job guys! I'll try to send my pm tonight or tomorrow morning.
Looks good.
Three :beer: for Artifice and UnsafeAlpine for making this happen.
BTW. my order is placed.:D

1. Isn't it cheaper the more you order? I know you need a minumum of 10 to order but with Foo, who knows if you'll have to order lots of them! :D Should we take a pre order count to see how much the final price would be?
2. What if you don't have paypal and don't want to open an account with them? Will a money order work for you?

The only thing that gets cheaper is PayPal's fee, and it starts at 3000 orders :notamused:
Hold off for a couple days until I can figure out something. There may be a way to pay with a card that I'm unaware of.
awww many - I'm so for the ratty jersey!! :love::love::love::love::love:

Do you guys think artifice and UA should get a free jersey each for their trials and tribulations?
Edit :- I guess its a personal thing so its upto you if you wanna add a token amount it your order or not. No need to voice your opinion or feel pressured to put more money in that requested for. :). I realize that this might mean that because of the generosity of FOOsters, UA might have more money beyond what covers the jersey. He can use that on beer and hookers. I am skinnyone and I approve this message.

You could, but it will not automatically get you a jersey.
what is that inside the explosion, a turd? or jsharr's fish?

what about money orders....I hate putting any information like that on line, even through paypal

I'd really prefer not to do money orders. I'm not that comfortable giving my address out, and I don't want to deal with what happens if the money order gets weird. If you have serious issues about using PayPal or credit cards (hopefully). Just PM me and we can work something out.

Actually you have to come up with a really big order from Champ-Sys to get a qty discount.

I know that when we did the NorCal jerseys we had them made with the raglan sleeves rather than the set in sleeves. All the jerseys I own are raglan sleeves and I find them more comfortable than set in. Just a thought before you order.

I know you will, but do make sure to post if there are methods NOT involving Pay-Pal that one may use to order a jersey. I have had bad experience with Pay-Pal in the past (okay, 6 years ago...) and am not really looking forward to setting up all that j0nx just for this one thing... I really like the design, can't wait to rep my race cut!

ahh I'm so excited. Thanks UA for handling this! Can you post totals for orders so far so we can watch the count skyrocket?!
Also-- have any ladies ordered jerseys from them before? I have a hard time thinking I'd be a M, but maybe...

Yeah...I love the design - and I'll pay more for a wool 'un...maybe a wool/poly blend if all merino is a no-can-do?

Oh sure, point us to another thread where there is a jersey to order! Like I need two, but since I can only afford one ( I still need to purchase my custom designed work one!)I will be purchasing the Foo jersey! :)
Hey UA, what's shipping to Winnipeg, MB, Canada?

Every woman's jersey has been different with me so far. I normally wear a medium - but I've hit some very small medium's lately so I just go bigger - rather have it looser than snug.
very cool.
Yep I dont hang in Foo much or I dont click stickeys.
I like the rat but whats with the Big mouth Bass??? I love the Dont fred on me!!!:roflmao2:
But the bass?
please enlighten me I missed the beginning of the quest for a Foo Jersey I guess.
"John"
I am just waiting on the womens size chart.
Based on the men's race/club I am changing my order size - I have those PDFs and can email them to anyone interested. (Just PM me with your addy)

Voler, small team jersey fits me pretty good. Anyone know how the race fit champ sys compares with voler? Besides it looks like you have to be able to go up hills fast to get the race fit :p.
Ill check with pgoat.

I'm not sure what you're trying to get across... You wanted dress pants or something? :p

As for the women's sizing, my last jersey is a medium and while a little on the loose side, its comfortable and I think a small would be just a tad too tight.

You mean the 36 that voted for Yellow. Then, wham! Where did the fade come from? That wasn't what was in the voting poll.
