How would you like to be one of the first to have a FREE NEW SRV 2010-2011 Kit? What’s the catch you ask? Well, not much really. The board members of SRV are holding a "SRV Kit Design Contest" and all we ask is that you submit a NEW design(s) for the kit, Jersey and Shorts both. Your submitted design(s) will be voted upon by club members, and if you have the winning design, the SRV board members will present to you a New SRV Kit, Jersey and Shorts. Spokane Rocket Velo is a club defined by its “participating” members and is compelled go in the direction that “active” members drive it. We, on the board, acknowledge we have some very gifted members and we need your help in designing the new Kits. Let your imaginations and skills run amok but by all means, let’s get some designs submitted that are not only highly professional and race oriented, but a Kit Lance Armstrong and yourself would be proud to don on a Pro Tour. Things to keep in mind: - All submissions must be presented on Kit Templates - www.customsublimation.com/index.asp?pageID=miscellaneous&btnSubmit=ByFileCategoryID&cboFileCategoryID=1171
- At this time, we will not restrict color usage. Be creative and if your design wins club members over, please be aware colors could change due to manufacture limitations, club member desires, sponsor obligations, or any number of other factors.
- Do not concern yourself with sponsor logos for current design purposes as this will change as new sponsors are obtained. We are looking for Jersey designs without logo placement.
When designing the Jersey, design for the long sleeve Jersey. This will allow us to design for Short Sleeve Jerseys, Arm Warmers, and Jackets but remember that design must fit Short Sleeve Jersey sleeve. Refer to your current kit for flow pattern if need be.
- Be sure that colors and patterns are somewhat matching. In other words, don’t create a Red Polka Dot Jersey and couple it with a Blue Striped Short
- Contact Dale Peringer @ daleperinger@spokanerocketvelo.com when you are ready to submit your designs…submit as many designs as you like!!!
- Have submissions in no later than 5:00pm, Sunday night, May 24, 2009
We also need a person who is gifted with Vector Artwork and has the software, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Freehand or Corel Draw that can take the winning design and create Vector Artwork to submit to the manufacturer. Photoshop will not work for this purpose! If you are good at this type of work and would be willing to give some time to the club in terms of creating the artwork, you too will be provided a free, newly designed, SRV Kit which includes a Jersey and Shorts. If you are also the winner of a design you submit, we will provide you two kits! Contact daleperinger@spokanerocketvelo.com for details regarding manufacturer requirements. You are allowed to use any resource available to you (within legal boundaries of course) Have fun and we’ll be looking forward to receiving your winning design. The Board Members of Spokane Rocket Velo |

I was just informed by admin that we are in desparate need of ordering new kits for new members coming on line. Has anyone made any progress toward a potential new design?

I have 2 different color verisons of a potential design, although since they are draft designs they are not on the PDF forms you posted. (the 'cut up' nature of the garment on the form is difficult to draft on)
I hope to transfer the design to the 'official' Mt.Borah PDF form soon, although I can send or post the draft images if it can't wait.

Do not mean to rush but just to create a slight sense of urgency. Do up right in your eyes and thanks for the help. |

I hope this does not offend any of the true blue, mustard and pumpkin, but if we have the opportunity to change the kit colors I think we should jump on it like a dog on a bone. I personally know riders who have chosen other clubs simply because of the kit color combination. Even a color compromise like Rabobank would be a great improvement. Does anyone else care to weigh in on this?

Does anyone else care to weigh in on this? I, too, am open to great ideas. I agree that riders place a huge amount of importance on the kit design and colors. It definitely has a bearing on some people's decision as to what club they become a part of. I wish I were Artistic instead of Autistic. I have a great idea but no skill to draft it on paper or otherwise. |

Yeah I am about 300 Pounds but I have dropped almost 30 pounds almost in the last two months hoping to get down to a decent riding weight to stand a chance one of these days in a road race.
I sent you a Private Message with my Info I dont have any of yours.

I couldn't help noticing how you went up the long curving hill near Bowl & Pitcher with far less effort than I would've expected. Obviously you have potential, and a plan for making it happen, so keep at it!  |

I've got a kit design in the works, and am seeking some clarification on the due date for this here competition...
May 20th is not a Sunday...
and it sounds like you've put fuel on the fire lately.
Just want to be sure I get my submittal in for consideration.
Thanks!

Just a note: Most riders seem turned away by the blue shorts, I rarely see anyone wearing them except for a few confident souls.
The more black someone would incorporate into a new short design would be a popular move perhaps.
I like Kenny's design!

Thanks Monte! I too think black is the best primary color for shorts. Looks like this company could utilize pixel based images. If so here is another concept. slickmodels.com/images/09LS_Jersey3a.pdf Ken |

Kenny, That design is sweet!
If I may, what program are you fellas using to do these designs?
I've got a concept drawn up, but have not applied it to the template yet.
