Dept. of Fashion

No Friday Profile today. We've profiled everyone from Team FGBC with the exception of our longest-serving member. The Secretary and the President are working together on that one. Look for it next Friday.

Instead, we are pleased to announce a couple of exciting new opportunities in clothing:

1) SSSWJITW: The Sweetest Short-Sleeved Wool Jersey in the World

It will look something like this:


Cousin Adam is working on this project. Here is what he says:
I'm thinking Fort Garry in red script (like the Nordic Cross) on the white stripe, and Bike Club in white block letters on the red stripe. With embroidering, they'd be $66 US if we get at least 12, otherwise $86 (and only $54 if we do 30, but that's probably pushing it). And for $91, they'd do up a one-off replica Nordic Cross jersey for Brad. Spread the word and I'll handle the arrangements.
The word has now been spread. The ball is in your court, boys and girls. Drop a comment if you are interested.


[update - 11:38 am]

2) RRR Wool

As it turns out, our friends over at RRR are working on a similar project. Upon seeing Adam's proposal, KK sent me this. He says he mocked it up earlier this morning. I suspect, however, that they're simply trying to keep pace with their much hipper rivals.



3) MUERTO Hoodie

MUERTO Operative Gianni is heading this one up, with assistance from Halberto and myself.

It will be a full-zippered black hoodie with this on the back:


It looks like it will all add up to around $50, give or take. Again, drop a comment if you are interested.

The Dark Lord said...

Which one, Colin? The SSSWJITW or the hoodie? Or both?

I'd be down for a Hoodie.. that logo is sweet! or is this FGBCers only?

Muerto means died? I just figured that... I am slow.

The Dark Lord said...

You are in, Greg. Are you doing RTB?

MUERTO means dead. And, as an added bonus, it rhymes with Puerto. It is a very sophisticated acronymn with many layers of meaning.

both

How many jerseys does one need? I guess that's like asking how many bikes does one need? The answer is always: One more.

But I don't think I'll pop for a RRR wool jersey and a one off Nordic Cross, even though it is a beauty. Gotta fly the club colors right through cross season.

The Dark Lord said...

That red RRR jersey will look sweet all covered in mud from The Battle at the Bunker otherwise known as Menno Cross.

the secretary said...

RTB for me...? can't commit yet, too much racing, and not enough house window installing and finishing has me in the bad books.. if I was sure, I'd have pre reg by now:-(

Life is sucking the life outta racing right now.

Registered for xc8 already though... is it in the series?

Okay folks. Here's what they say for sizing for the short sleeve wool:

Size - Chest Sizing - Jersey length back

XS - 30-31" - 24"

S - 33-34" - 25"

M - 36-37" - 27.5"

L - 39-40" - 28"

XL - 42-43" - 28.5"

XXL - 45-46" - 29.5"

Send an email with your preferred size to wooljersey AT mts DOT net

Once we have enough takers, I'll place the order. They say 3-4 weeks for delivery, so we ought to have them in plenty of time for cross season.

Hey friends,

I will spring for the short sleeved woolie - XXL again, even though I have dropped 40. Damn Seattle hills. Secretary - can I lean on ya for a delivery plan?

We've got an extra long sleeve Nordic Cross Jersey - never worn - size small.

Let me know if anyone needs one.

the secretary said...

Olli said...

You accept wannabes? I'm in if yes.

The Dark Lord said...

Wannabes accepted. Which one do you want, Olli?

Cricket said...
