Final Jersey Thread -Honest!

ba

i have to agree with mr.boots + gav here. although effort was put in by the others, and fairplay, the kits are generic and tack. there's no way i'd wear any of them. sry lads.

No need to apologise ba, the whole point of this thread was to get as many possibilites as possible, and vote on them, so the more the better -I just stuck a few up cos it's better than doing my thesis

To post an image without a link, you need to have it online somewhere (flicker, or something), and use the image link to link to the url

Hungrycol

I disagree. This is all about Boards.ie and nothing else and I have no problem wearing option 2 (my fav so far) and keeping the bookkeeping logo on the back pocket.

Ba, you don't have to wear one!

Here's a design, same as above, but without the white... may be more practical

I think this is the best so far.

I think this is my favourite so far. Nothing to do with the logo's:D.
I like the black jersey with the irish flag!

Im afraid im too crap to try and design one myself:o

Perhaps we should have a poll listing all the designs and people vote for them and for sponsorship. Or Tiny, you just decide what the deal is with sponsorship, seeing as you're the one doing everything !

I think that Tiny should go ahead and pick one himself - it is going to be impossible for everyone to agree on a design and if they are to be ready before the Wicklow then they need to be ordered soon.

Mostly on the back of this jersey idea and my own stupid brovado I have decided to sign up for the W200 (may well end up only doing the 100 though). Not sure if I should thank or curse you guys, I suppose I'll know the day after.:)

Bambaata

we'll probably need a thread where everyone confiormsd what they want because some may have changed (i'm no tempted by the full zip short sleeve if it will help those 7 guys get that order) we'll also need size clarification from everyone and i think we should vte on a design. maybe design first because 1 or 2 may drop out if the majority decide on something that they dont like?

I've jumped to that ship as well for the same reasons, so now we just need one more.

Done.

-don't forget that some people want two, and may not have voted twice though...

Well, I'd nearly rather leave it to a general consensus on the design, and had said that I'll leave submission on designs open till Friday, but can move it forward if people wish -I want to prove that design by committee can work

As for sponsorship, I'm not sure yet. I have no problem putting the Cullen bookkeeping logo on the jersey, and mkdon is very generous to offer the sponsorship, but there is a problem with the colours. As it stands, simply having the Cullen logo on there adds 3 colours, which raises the cost by 150 euro, which eans it's maybe not worthwhile doing it.

I think the best solution is to say a great big thank you to mkdon for the offer, and to use him for all our book keeping, but to remove sponsorship from the jersey. I think it would save expense, and possibly hassle further down the line.

What do you lot think?

Hungrycol

Sounds sensible to me.

Bicyclegadabout

Put in only the words "Cullen Bookeeping Services " or whatever. Maybe instead of the "Now Ye're Biking" words.

Or whatever.

franglan

To be fair tho mkdon was very decent to put up money for advertisement, would there be a problem putting this design the same colour as the colour of the outline of the jersey, or even the orange colour lets say on design number 2 from tiny explosion.

I prefer design number two from tiny, its looks great,

I think the design with cullen bookkeepers on the front, is good, but the advertisement is way too big, I Like the shamrock too, only my opinion tho.

Agreed. Fair play to mkdon, I don't want to be unsupportive, but managing the design and print would appear to be easier without it.

mkdon05

Ok Lads, I reckon these are the options on the advertising,

1. Monochrome the logo colours to that of the jersey.
2. Just put Cullen Bookkeeping where "now yer Bikin" is.
3. Remove it altogether.

I reckon we have to do whatever looks best for the Jersey, as thats the main thing! I have no problem whatsoever with any of the above options.

I'd rather have a nicer looking jersey without my logo as opposed to a not so good looking one with the logo.

The offer still stands tho, if you want to incorparate it.

blorg

I think #2 is coming out strong. I have no problem with the Cullen book-keeping logo but think we should be monochroming it same colour as the other three in the jersey to save on the colour costs. No point adding three new colours for a small patch on the back.

Hungrycol

mkdon5, if I remember correctly you said that you don't have a website or are not even in the phone book which I suppose then begs the question, why are you advertising?

It was purely to help out with the costs.
In saying that if it goes ahead i might lash up a simple website with contact details. If not, no harm done.

Not a big fan of the 'now ye're talkin/now ye're bikin' thing. What does everyone else think about it?

Understand. Well worth setting up a www.CBS.ie site or at least reserving the domain name. Put it under the words on the logo. (Perhaps avoid "www.CullenBS.ie"!!!)

franglan

Now ye're bikin, is acceptable, but now ye're talking, people lookin at you from behind are goin to be saying, who's talkin? [joke]

Less talk more action!!

Why not just make a poll with the three main designs (or more if there are any) and then the same without now yer bikin' text and with/out the cbs logo and lets vote.

I want my boards.ie gear already!

Do we have the designs in to vote on?

There's nothing unique about the jerseys being proposed.
