I think out of all the designs here I appreciate the NorCal one the best, it's considered, great type, interesting. I think it shows something Bike forums related can be made without being too hokey. I think that is an issue with a lot of club kits in general...it gets designed by the dude who has the kid with photoshop.
I think there are some decent ideas here...but who the hell wants a white garage door on their kit!? I think you can capture the spirit of this **** show in a much more "wearable" way.
Here is a quick digital sketch just to get a rough idea of style out (not anything close to what the final would be)...I would like to see something simple, classic, something I would like to wear but has hints of bike forum-road cycling debauchery.

I like this one. Something understated that only the people in the know will get. I don't need an OH LOOK AT OUR BF MEMES billboard.
