'polite' hi viz jackets

[Arch]

It's the pouty bit that really gets me. Just some nice looking blondes smiling would be alright, but they have to make it look like they're doing a porn shoot...

I'm guessing that site doesn't expect all that many female customers, or they'd have some male eye candy on the front page....

This is, I believe, the company Padbeat used. I just got two long-sleeved hi-viz jackets from them.

Didn't quite have the nerve to have POLITE on them, so they just say TRAFFIC on the back. Which is true. I am traffic.

I'm wondering whether to order one with POLIC on the back. It doesn't say police does it so i couldn't get in trouble could i???

OR i could have POLICE with greatest hits written
underneath.

No, mate. I think you're on thin ice if you pull a stunt like that. My advice is don't do it.

what about putting POLI then, or POL or even PO or P??

If you put 'P' people will think you are a parking space and park on top of you....

I think Polite is the best - it's a well established technique - look at all those little signs people put in their driveways - Polite Notice, No Parking.

It has an added 'benefit' in that when I'm wearing it, I feel I ought to be polite, which has got to be a good thing...

Don't have PO...you'll be mistaken for a tellytubby.

Or it might be construed as telling folk to P^%% off!

True. I never thought of that one!

Or i could be pretending to be a post office

That's a cool site thanks for posting the link. So I can have any logo I design printed, even on just one jacket? Very excellent.

I see whole new range of cycle jackets ...starting with those aimed at the Essex market:

**** off and die you tosser!
Back off lardarse
Pass as wide as your stomache allows
White van man kiss my arse
Learn to drive moron
Were you always a c*** or did you have to learn?
I bet your right foot isn't as fit as your right hand

Maz..seriously, that logo on your jacket,,,did you design it and upload it or did you use one of that companies fonts?

It was Padbeat who did it all I think, I think he worked the logo up himself - just need the right font, the right colours and size.... Can probably be done in MS Word or Paint or something...?

Or you could just get one of these and put the labels back on...

The badges can be had here, if you can convince them that you are allowed to, or you could go for Ex Police Tactical Hi Viz Police Vest, wee bit on the pricey side...

Interesting....

...wouldn't one have to be careful of getting nicked for impersonating an officer of de looer?

For a discussion of the legality this very point see here. Also if you are looking for a copy of the logo try this....

Why not try

CYCLE POLICY or P O L ! C E you'd probably get nicked for the 2nd one though
