Custom Jersey?

Anyone interested in a custom MTB United jersey? There are a number of companies out there that will produce full custom or semi custom jerseys. It would be pretty cool to sport the "team jersey". I'll throw a few links out there, check them out. Most places have a full custom option and a semi custom option. Lots of cool stuff. I personally dig the simple, understated, retro type look. Comment up if you may be interested. Maybe we could get Moby on board, and he could lend his touch. I should add, also, for anyone who hasn't tried a jersey yet, they're great. Cool, comfy, wicking, 3 back pockets. Great for all physical endeavors including cycling, running, and paddling.

My favorite so far

Done in some cool color scheme.

Logo Placement

A MTB United logo/font as the main logo, maybe front and back, then possibly a few other logos, or none at all. mtbunited.blogspot.com or www.benschwab.com running up the side, or maybe some other logo here or there. Or, again, maybe just MTB United in the right design / font.



Maybe something like this? Have to make sure the brown is really brown, not orange or whatever. The text up the sides is "mtbunited.blogspot.com".




My favorite setup.



Other rear color options per Matt.

Hell yeah I'm down for an MTBUnited jersey! I dig the design you picked out and the setup, although I'm not big on advertising the actual web address down the side. I'd rather see a saying or group modo of some sort, that is, if we can find something timeless we all agree on. Regardless, I'll go with whatever the consensus is...and I want one!

Ben Schwab said...

I agree, I'm all for it and dig the design you picked out. I'm not adverse to the website address. But, in response to JP, group modo might be tough to figure out. But, I like the idea.

I like the last one, the favorite setup. Motto would be good, its gotta be perfect though. I like the colors and font. full zip, half, 1/4?

Damn, that's a good lookin' jersey! I can't tell if the black and charcoal grey are being used interchangeably in the options... if they're not, I like the charcoal much more. In any case I really like the tone of brown and the design. As for the side, I'm cool with whatever. I'm definitely in for a short sleeve version and am open to any zipper set-up, although it seems a 1/4 zip would be the most comfortable when moving, particularly if the jersey fits tight (but, I really don't know).

So a question was brought up regarding the "black" color. I had intended everything you see as black. The charcoal appearance was due to my inattentiveness as I was first creating these things. However, we are free to choose any colors that we want.

Also, the standard zipper is a 15" hidden zipper. Fairly standard, and from experience, useful and comfy.

All,

Do we like colored side panels or not?

J,

There's a back version with brown lettering just below the "favorite setup".
