Orange or orangy-yellow, like mango. That way we won't miss each other in the crowd at races. It goes well with black. I have seen very little orange around, no one but Robot at Mountain Man. And he looked goooooood in it! Plus it's cheerful and upbeat.

It's not anyone's school color or other tri club color, at least in this state, right?

Sally is right. Orange as the  base color is out.  Maybe an accent though.  I had the thought, and PM'd Jen to say that maybe we need to start by looking at what is out there in the customizable tri jersey world, and see what kind/color of base we have to start with, and maybe the offerings we are limited to will help guide us to a color scheme.  (So we are finding out what is out there).

Yeah like Tanya said we will probably just go with something that is already made and just put our letters or logo on it as we do not want to spend tons of money to have something super customized (yet!) Orange can be an accent, I like yellow too, blue is nice, lots of the jerseys have white backgrounds. I agree - something that stands out!

TANYA post some of those jerseys you are finding!!!

This is the Louis Garneau semi-customizable stuff. This is just one pattern and it is the men's cut. They also have women's cut.  See more styles at http://www.louisgarneau.com/eng/ctm_catalog.asp.  Click on a top to see the matching shorts.

Here is Velowear. Men's and women's tri tanks. This is the gray/orange.  They also had navy/red.  http://www.velowearcustom.com/sdm.asp?pg=products&grp=1

Another place, Pactimo, has cool stuff, decent prices, and low quantity requirements.  Also looks like they really help you design a quality design.  Here is their gallery of some custom stuff they have done: http://www.pactimo.com/technology-design-designs-gallery.htm

Ok...that one rocks. Is that semi-customizable? Like it comes with the fire? Or is it still the high dollar one?

WELL - I do not know, maybe if they have already made the design for someone else it is considered semi custom. Who knows? But then maybe the design is copyrighted, intellectual property or something. So far it looks like only the chicks are in on this - where my guys at???

Shorts with Fleece pad - $41
Tri Suit - $76

We could also have running shirts, cycling shirts, regular shirts - okay am I going a little crazy here?

You both should know that my bright green stands out in a crowd.

(Note: please avoid this color. I wouldn't wish it upon anyone)

Oh, there's no way in hello that we are ending up with day-glow green! That is like the worst color for me!!! 

Jen - I thought their prices were in line with what we usually pay, AND the minimum is 5, so if lots of people want Tri tops, but only 5 want a bike shirt, or a performace shirt for training, we can still get them as long as we can get 5 people. Some other sights require a 20 order minimum.

I have been searching out and downloading some cool fonts.  I am not promising anything....but I DO have my degree in Graphic design. I may need to hook up with Chris and his Photo shop to do it electronically, as I was trained old school with pen and paper. (I am that old!)  But maybe I can come up with a few options to get us started.  A lot has to do with what shirt we get though.  The Red/orange LG one has a V front for example, so you would want a logo that sat nicely in there.

The Pactimo site was pretty cool might take a little work but we could definitely get an original design from there.

YEP! It's pretty much as I expected, Fitzy is knee deep in the girls' drama over the fashion.

I vote this: 

$3.58 for Crissakes!!!  Beat THAT! If you want, I can find us a pair of shorts too. Something comfy.

Cool, if we cut the sleeves off and rip off the neck cuff it might make a decent tri top, ...matching the guys' floating-anchor-swim-baggy-breeches!
