I vaguely remember Billy Conolly doing a not very PC act about foreign political regime's and saying something along the lines of 'when they start designing their own uniforms you have tae start worrying'.

arny can you muck about with this one, take out the campag and stick in triban owners club or TOC and white side panels running down and white up over the shoulder so that the white would look like an H if looking straight on, black piping along the white surfaces and your kinda rear with the btwin sign over the pockets, i only ask as you can use this stuff quickly View AttachmentYeah i can have a go at this for you

i think a wee re-focus here if i may this is TOC not BTWIN, i think rad and fluff are right, we dont need to be advertising them unless they are paying for it, we are TOC - HEAR THAT RED LEADER? WE ARE TOC, i hope that fills you with pride b/c we are, and we are always here TOC needs to be the focus for now, like the red black and white - its a given these are the main triban colours, i think blue is too 'off the path' - its a trim colour on one bike, like the 357, maybe a motto? i think we need to establish likes and dislikes THEN go away and deliberate on design etc we could have a really cool, very unique identifier of who we are when we ride. i personally think that is quite exciting I do agree that ToC needs to be the main focus here but don't forget 2 little things that will make all the difference. 1. This was done just so people can be creative We ent probably ever gunna design these or make them. Its jsut for fun And 2. B'Twin are the suppliers of these fabulous bikes. without them, no twin... Plus i work for them so kind of allows me to oh and the blue thing. Are we neglecting the wonderful Triban 5a here . blue is my favourite colour and im known for my blue cycling outfit. I'm hurt hahaha

Loving the designs guys. Fantastic efforts, and yes, I'm bursting with pride that something I created on a wet evening has flourished to where we find ourselves now.
Regarding renaming and dropping the 3. As Rads and a few more members pointed out, to change will cost. Originally it was first a Triban 3 forum. We have since moved on to embrace Tribans of all models. Personally I'd prefer to keep cost out of the domain name. I intended creating a free forum and should demand be large enough to move to a 3less domain name then I may look into it. Don't forget, I'm a tight arsed Yorkshireman!
Unless companies are willing to put up readies for emblazoning forum jerseys with their name, I think there should only be reference to TOC.
My twopennorth, for what it's worth.
Keep up the great designs though guys, they look great.

See Arny, that's when I worry about the way the world is with you young uns - I've managed to get a few hundred buildings built - why couldn't anyone get a garment designed and constructed? Perfectly possible, whether it's any good or not is the only real test. The criteria of BTwin and Decathlon is not the end, perhaps it's the means at present but the customer is the fuel in the veins, people may enter into a symbiotic relationship if the supplier is lucky - except we can all bugger off and buy ourselves Boardman's or the new 'HOYS' next ... and I doubt you'll work for Decathlon for ever anyway Arny so nothing personal !

But its jsut getting some serious organisation on the tops. you've gotta take into account; costs of making the tops (which i think would be beta with endura), printing, delivery costs when sending out, where to place the money and if all that, whose gonna buy them and who will take profits. Do they go back into the website or something? Don't get me wrong. I want this to work more than anybody, just gotta look at the real picture and reality. And if the btwin logo is over everything you got already... I think you shop there more than me lol blue - lol, well we have got black in there so thats sorted I do understand that the main colours are red black and white as that is what started off the T3 phase. But if you look at the Triban range (which we have become, not in a nasty way) the only 1 which is blue is the t5a. the rest are red, black and white surely a lil blue wouldn't hurt. If you loook at all the tops ive made only 1 is blue. and lol, gunna be soon but i already bought the aerofit 9 black white and blue kit. But i also want the nalini and FDJ kit aswell XD. link to Nalini jerseyhere's the link to the Endura tops: www.endura.co.uk/Dept.aspx?dept_id=152('tis expensive but as i say, if you tally up all the tops from our place then put printing on for each top, works out the similar). Also found a nice little app where you can design them and if everybody likes the design, you can actually buy them OWAYO custom cycling tops.

I understand about the 3 name because there are still probably more T3 reds on here or T3's than there is of any other range. besides, its as ive always seen it as. Its everybodys opinion. The only people who has full control is you red and rad. lol, im sure if someone else threw in the money for you, i know you wouldnt mind hahaha and okay, if this is actually a posibility of us making our own tops and bibs, I will just keep it as ToC if that is the case. I do enjoy making it and getting creative. So I'll scrap all them and start a new batch, hows that sound

Don't they do printing in decathlon? I will be buying one of the toc jerseys when they are finalised . Superb idea one I'd been thinking of but didn't want to say , how wrong I was!

This thread has gome a bit quiet. Is anyone in a position to move it forward? Design and production are not subjects I have any knowledge or expertise in unfortunarely but I am sure there are a lot of us who would be keen to buy the products.

Who are 'a lot' - in my experience it might mean 6 or 7 for say a hat, or 3 or 4 for a top, or 15 - 20 for a badge (that can be applied to something of your own choice)?
I have let the design ideas of this and the logo thread tick over to see where it ends up; we could pick it up again if there is interest.
