Updated: New road.cc jersey design - have your say!
We've always said we wanted road.cc to be more like an online club than anything else. That means everyone getting involved, and the latest way to do that is to spout forth on the goodness or otherwise of our mockup of the new road.cc jersey. You have spoken and we have listened… sort of. So now we've added some new versions inspired by your suggestions. Vecchiojo's white piping gets an airing as does his favourite pantone pink and in a fashion mash-up fringe's retro look meets PK Ripper's white idea. We'll probably do some more later too, but for now tell us what you think of this lot.
Eagle-eyed members will recognise our crrent favourite as a development of one of the potential Planet X-road.cc jerseys that we stuck on the site not so long ago. It didn't make it onto the back of the team, but it did get a lot of love, so we're thinking of making some for the season.Click on it for a closer look: there's still a bit of our favourite Argyle in there, of course.
Obviously you can't please all of the people all of the time but we'd like some feedback, so don't be backward in coming forward! And if you've got other designs that you think would work for a road.cc jersey, add them to you comments... ones you've found, ones you've loved or – even better – ones you've scrawled on the back of a fag packet and scanned in.
Your mum always told you that if you haven't got anything nice to say, it's better not to say anything. But hey, we're pretty tough skinned. So fire away*
*You don't have to say nasty things though. You can be nice too.

Looks good - my only request is to get someone like Columba to make it up in a Sportswool merino blend.
Great... Maybe add a bit of yellow?
Liking it. Don't think it needs extra colours, but VecchiJo's white edging idea would definitely liven it up a bit.
Will there be a sportwool version?
as it stands i think it looks a bit 'meh' and needs some detailing/jazzing up
a thin white line between the black and the blue on the collar, sleeves, shoulders and down the sides of the torso would ping it up a bit, and the white stripes down the sides would be nicely slimming (not looking at anyone here, obviously), and the addition of another colour would be a welcome thing in my eyes, but only as a very subtle highlight, although not yellow as that would be a bit too much like one of Columbia's previous incarnations
or to be totally different, the same colours but with the diamonds coming out the bottom of the jersey at an angle and only covering the lower half, a bit like the road.cc sticker
See what you mean about Sky, we had the colour before them though it's a carry over from the last jersey and the real colour is lighter than the Sky jersey - closer to the colour of the words in that Rouleur button on the right.
Tricky this fashion business - one thing we might do though is settle on a design and then do it in more then one colour
If you had launched it a few months ago maybe we could have signed Wiggins as he seemed to take so long to decide whether to wear a black/blue jersey or an Argyle one for 2010 - Roadcc would have given him the best of both worlds
I like it by the way
I think just having black and blue make it to similar to Sky. Pink is maybe not the right colour but I feel you need some more colour in the design maybe yellow.
Yeah, practically Martin
Our man in London, has just been in touch to suggest we add in some extra colours in the diamonds coupla different pinks - I'm not sure though.
I'd wear that - nice design. You'd pay us to wear it, right?
Too much road.cc. Should be quietly stated stylishly not writ large. Othewise tasty. Bit less blue and more blackish perhaps. Argyle is great.
I like it, understated. Perhaps you could have road.cc accross the shoulders?
