Sabbath and Shutt VR want YOU to get creative on their new jersey… there's prizes too!

Win a Sabbath Exposure Joystick light + a set of the kit you've designed...

Ever seen some cycling kit and thought, "I could do better than that"? Well, now's your chance to have a go, courtesy of Sabbath Bicycles and Shutt VR. They're getting together to produce some suitably flash kit to match Sabbath's luscious titanium bikes and they'd like road.cc users to design it.

To get your creative juices flowing we'll be running a competition to find the right design – the winner will get a set of their kit and a Sabbath branded USE Joystick light plus of course the mighty satisfaction of seeing their creativity made flesh, well Merino Perform.

Entries are open now and the best five will go to a public poll in three weeks time so get your skates on! The jersey needs to have the Sabbath logo as the main one, with the Shutt VR logo on the chest. You can submit your entries in any form you like, what matters most is the power of your design. We've attached a blank template to the bottom of this story; those that want to go down the electronic route can import it in to programs like Photoshop or Illustrator, or you can keep it real and print them out and draw on them – either works for us. Or you can just go for the completely freehand approach.

Ideally we'd like you to attach a pic of your design to the bottom of this story, in true road.cc fashion, but you can also email them to info@road.cc or post them to road.cc, The Bath Brewery, Toll Bridge Rd, Bath, BA1 7DE.

Yes, and no.

No you haven't missed anything and yes there is some news - we should have the shortlist up and ready for voting on Monday, plan is to have it open all week probably until close of play on Friday. Judging has been tough, but all we've got to do now is hose the blood off the office walls and post the list.

The tricky part was putting a list together of designs that are makeable in Sportwool and distinctively different. We have got a list that ticks those boxes and, happily, which are also our favourites designs. It's taken a bit of whittling though. The tricky part was that there aren't really any bad design and at first our favourites were too similar so we had to draft some extra judges in.

Spot on and ticks the boxes, especially the one regarding "being seen".
