And such a lovely climb too!

I like the EF education kits and the Legion too. Might be a London thing.

As a northern monkey I would be against pink :laugh:

I'd be interested in a team jersey but not a Rapha one. Bit if that's what is decided by the majority then it is my loss :okay: I appreciate kit sorting is like herding cats @<Tommy> so it's no problem with me if I miss out for the greater good! ^_^

And just for a couple of alternatives as I have refused Rapha...

DHB? Obviously cheaper, not sure on quality but there are lots of blank designs and also a couple of nice funky ones that could be a good base for customisation:

604659


604660


604661


All the colours and all the sizes in stock - matching shorts / socks etc shouldn't be an expensive problem either if anyone wants to go FKW.

Personally I quite like this kinda thing:

604662


604663


Obviously there is much room for improvement there but that's what I was kinda thinking.

Anyway, just thought it better to offer an alternative rather than just saying no! One good thing about all this choice is we could ALWAYS HAVE A POLL :hyper: (@Spartak lol)

(PS - I ride with a guy who has a printing firm, could be an option if needed)

I was waiting to see what Rapha came up with. But I checked a couple of days ago and they’ve permanently closed their custom design department. So I’ve emailed a few other companies that have a good track record making team kit. Pearl izumi, Santini & Girodana. So hopefully they get back to us with some prices soon. In the mean time I had another idea. I’ve seen on the rapha site they’re going to release some limited edition jerseys in the next month or so. I thought if people like the designs, we could choose one, and then get our club name & names printed onto the jersey ourselves. @bridgy has a place near him that he’s used in the past and the print came out very well.

That's a cool idea. I'm up for that. :okay:
 
I'm up for a team jersey, not so sure I'm up for over £100 on one but think I would go for it if the majority went that way. I must be a tight northerner at heart ^_^

Nice design work there @Joffey - you may have just volunteered yourself for the mock ups!

We've had a few days up in North Yorkshire. I'd remembered the steepness of some of the hills, like Sutton Bank at 25% gradient. Yesterday though having a trip to Whitby, we were driving back and the wife wanted to go through the village where Heartbeat was filmed (Goathland) . I took a wrong turn and found this monster of a hill :ohmy:

I dropped onto this website where a guy listed a few brutes to try out next time you "goats" fancy a challenge

I think Randy came up this way on his tour of Britain :okay:

Nice one Joff 👍 Does your friends company do print onto clothing? That could be really handy.

Another negative about the rapha jersey is it is a bit of a one shot deal. If anyone missed the boat it might be tricky to get the same jersey later.

Regarding the dhb jersey specifically I’d prefer something a bit nicer quality wise. But I take your point about looking at options.

So maybe we have a vote just to see where we are?

should we really miss this opportunity to do a poll?!!

Can someone set a poll with two questions. Firstly who votes rapha jersey
Second option would be to keep on looking at other options.

I can also see there might be a split in terms of what people want to spend. So another option is that we design a jersey. But then get it produced by more than one company so people have a choice between an expensive and a cheaper alternate. The only problem with this could be not hitting the quota for order size from some manufacturers
