what does it give that an iphone with runkeeper can't?

good battery life

not having to buy an iphone?

this

^I like it.

I can dig it, too. Summer Jersey!!!!
Makes me anticipate the most recent ones to come in, which will probably coincide with consistently decent weather.

I finished the backside of the jersey and I think its pretty awesome, its kind of like the sky jersey

also with the font le petite bear suggested

I would be fine with the front we have now, but I think the back needs to change

i love this. this would be my favorite jersey if this got made.

whoa. killing it

would buy!

as would i

i'm curious how the dots will carry over to the sleeves/back.

I was wondering that too, all the KOM jerseys have the same pattern over the sleeve, nothing is adjusted. However, it seems as the pattern for the dots restart at the sleeves, instead of continuing, if you know what I mean. I think this is cause of the printing process, and not intentional.

Also I was going to add the tarck logo on both the sleeves, but I don't have the pdf/illustrator file for it so I would have to ask Artblur for it then

Needs Tarcklebee.

For what it's worth, I don't think the typeface should be changed from the current logo.

tarcklebee?

Count me in for a new tarck jersey since my team won't let me wear our colors in Alley cats, which I understand.

HAHAHA perfect!

I like where this is going, and I don't mind having too many tarck jerseys. Make it so!

hmmm.... can we add a jar of dicks in the left pocket for easy distribution?

ok, maybe not.... I don't want to explain that to everyone.

cant wait!

You shut your whore mouth!

Okay so should we start voting or is there certain things to the front/back that we should add

I love the new design.

but keep in mind that the printing won't look even remotely like what you posted... they have "live" & "bleed" & "trim" areas that you didn't consider in your rendering and of course the sleeves (and rear pockets) are flat printed separately (so nothing will line up). also, they print based on a one-size and trim in and down, like all dye-sublimated print-houses do. what you see in the tour or the giro is not what you get when ordering a couple jerseys from champ-sys.

that being said.... i like where you're going with the design... and if you need any files shoot me an email at artblur at artblur dot com

how are the pro ones different? what process do they use?

probably designed more closely to match the final size.
champ sys' whole system is designed around the same print being used for XL and small.

that and the pros get their jerseys (at least on some of the higher dollar sponsor teams, specifically the Euro pro teams, that i have personal knowledge of, or have worked with in some capacity) have theirs fitted to each rider. they're literally tailor made.

This is awesome.

Artblur I can send you the illustrator file if you know of ways to make it so its less distorted while printing, or of any ideas to change to avoid it as much as possible

i honestly think it's going to be impossible to get the polka-pattern to look even remotely like what you drew up (which sucks because i love it). the back may not be that big of an issue but, the line that hit just above the pocket might (read: will) be off slightly.

God! Klondike is my hero!
I can't wait to get one of these!

then should I randomize the colors on the dots in the front then? so the misalignment won't be an issue, cause even on the pro jeresys, the dots don't line up from sleeve to chest

also the back, I guess we could try to change the design over the pockets, or just let it be, what do you guys think?

both of those sound like great ideas.

i have a suggestion: how about we just take my measurements and base all the jerseys off that. so i'll have a perfect jersey, as well as anyone else who is exactly like me. then the rest of you losers can have the messed up ones.

problem: solved.

only if you're 150 lbs and 5'7 ;)

Okay so i randomized the front dots and then changed the pocket design as Erik said it wouldn't align. If you have better ideas for what to put over the pockets, please tell.

If you guys want, we can have have the tarck logo on a side panel, or should we just keep it at is

i think the tarck on the front is enough to not need one on the side. only thing i can think of is maybe try to a tarck on the back. somewhere on the center pocket would be nice.

edit: in the same font as the front. having it in the tarck colors would be a little much.

100% in for this if we do this.

Same. Still my favorite design so far.

I probably wont be getting the jersey as I've sworn off buying anything but wool, but I think that the text should be in Gotham Condensed, for continuity. Also remove the bike, it detracts.

I think I like the other white version of the old jersey a little better, but still tossing out ideas on the dots....
either way, I'll be struggling to get some money for it as I already have enough jerseys.

Tarck written vertically using the center stripe as a base line?
or
Center stripe widened, and tarck "knocked out"/e.g. in white vertically. This particular idea I think needs the tarck font from the banner.

don't you guys already know he's addicted to gotham condensed, and I don't have the font file so if any of you guys have it, e-mail to wang143@purdue.edu

patch, get over gotham.

I just think they should have the tarck "logo" on it.

in black? coz i don't think it would look good in tarck colors, i can try though

erik, i'm gonna e-mail you for the tarck logo

ok.
i'll email you the whole jersey file so you can set it up "properly"

Yeah, in black.

Coolest thing ever since the first tarckjersey. I'd prefer this to the polka-dots on the pockets. I would probably buy a white version of the old jersey as well, but I kind of like changing the design every year. It makes the older ones kind of exclusive.
