I designed the logo. I think someone else added it to the rest of the jersey. And I don't mean this in a tooting-my-own-horn way, but I think it actually won the poll, but I lost interest in continuing to evolve/refine the design (I wasn't getting much feedback). Thankfully Henry took the initiative and got another design made.

If anyone is interested, I probably still have the vector files somewhere.

If I remember correctly, I either changed the font to something classier later, or I had an alternate design that used a nicer serif font in place of the weird futurefont.

I can definitely see that, but the opposite end of the spectrum can make it tough as well. At least to me.

Heh, yes. I posted a mocking version that had the circle jammed full of stuff, and a faded list of pretty much every road in the Bay area in the background.

And this time around, I might even consider buying one... if they come in wool.
