# 2 for sure. Bold and in your face. I like it. Just the way the 41 should be.
The problem with #1 is the FB - I agree that too many people will confuse Bike Forums with Face Book and that's, like, stupid. What a kill joy having to explain it's not facebook you idiot. Now, if it said Bike Forums, that would be different.

The belief that black is hotter is a myth. If you feel a difference between black and white in the heat then it's in your head. I've been through this whole subject in the sportbike scene concerning leather jackets and track suits. There have been numerous studies shown disproving the myth. If anything, black is better because you'll cool down faster in the shade. Bedouins who live in the desert wear black robes. If it was hotter they wouldn't wear black.

"The Bedouin secret lies in the convection breeze set up when the warmer air inside a dark robe rises faster and escapes upward through the porous material, sucking in air from below. So a black robe winds up being no hotter, and its circulating air may even make things more comfortable. Notice that a key element in this system working is the convection made possible by the escape of air through the porous material."
(ref: Physics Help and Math Help - Physics Forums, why do bedouins wear black robes?, https://answers.yahoo.com/question/i...4082905AATmHq7)

Don't forget that black offers better SPF protection. I hear the Bedouins are very particular about their skin, exfoliating nightly and doing anything they can to keep it youthful. Rumor has it that they created the first face mask from an extinct desert bears blood and ground tissue reduction. Smooth skin seems the more likely reason they wear black.

When RT and I went at it for the first run, we mostly consulted between ourselves and then presented the option. If you liked it you bought it. It went well. I wanted to do the same here and work with EnstiMike on a design, privately, then present the option and sell it! But instead he just started a committee post.
I am looking into production options now. Spoke with Pactimo, already have the run-down on Primal since we used them last time.
This one. Though at this point they both don't mean anything. I am just going to make what I like, find a manufacturer and start a post that has the jersey and where to buy!
Maybe I can do a black and a white option...Pactimo has 5 piece minimums

Number one looks best. Wouldn't this be better as a poll?

So you were just teasing us. Nice. Even this thread is 41 all the way. I'm more than a little confused, but we'll see how they will probably look and the cost. Gotta start saving up.

Number 1 for me! I like the design and 3 and 4 have HTFU which is kinda overplayed to me.

Enjoi07, with low minimums like that I hope you can arrange to offer more than one sleeve length. I would like to see all three: long, short, and the Houston/Miami favorite, sleeveless. I guess the additional sleeve options would require some additional design tweaks on the sleeves and sleeveless shoulders. I know you are up to that if required! How about it? Can I count on you to expand the offering?

I am not expecting anything out of this one. I will buy my own jersey. It seemed like figuring out reimbursement for that was terrible. Maybe I could do an optional donation.
If I take lead on design I am more than willing to do various cuts.
