Thank you all for the great feedback. It's very interesting to see for me how different forums/ regions/ demographics have completely different tastes and pov. For example in Singapore, the shift has been towards a cleaner esthetic, whereas in the US, there is still a choice for bigger graphics and louder logos. It's also interesting to hear that some consider single colour panels to be loud, which never occurred to me. Maybe the colours shown on the computer is not entirely accurate as the intention was a more pastel/ washed colour, than a bold saturated one.

The point of this round of jerseys/ bibs was functionality over graphics. As some of you may have seen, our previous designs have always been about large graphics and big logos, so this time we wanted to focus more on larger zips and mesh openings as an example. Not to say that this can't go hand in hand with our previous stylings. It's just something different and cues we have picked up from what we see around us. The drawings are not representational of the proportions of the cuts, the fit will only be obvious once the final product comes out.

I agree that a vertical zipper on the side maybe is a better option. The band across the front is just for styling, the first design didn't have that and someone commented that it looked better with a stripe (the same as our previous classic jersey). I feel it does break up the monotony of the flat panel.

Again, very appreciative of all the comments thus far.
