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
Shutt VR competition
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.

Very understated… I remember the ones he did for a competition we ran!
i did done this one:

I like it a lot!
"the image on the back is the atomic structure of carbon a nice geek chic touch we think"
Not carbon atom..titanium, it was to match the Titanium bike! You can't read the writing but it says "rest on the SABBATH....Yeah right!!" I don'y have the computer ability to use anything but Paint but you get the idea.
that makes a lot more sense, bfergie 
yeah sorry bfergie thought that's what I'd typed

Thanks Fergie.. I have heard you called many things, most nice, but geek.. that's a first…

Ha, I even have a "bike geek" t-shirt my beloved bought me!! Aint she sweet!
here's one from DaveP... he say:
"Grey and Black to compliment the Ti and Carbon of the bikes, with an architectural print to enhance the solidity. White trim to breakup the monotony ... ShuttVR logos to be the only colour (middle pocket to have the Shutt VR colour bar)"
Here's my first effort... 
What about this...?
here's my effort...
My first two efforts...
my 3 options/ schemes
Ride hard
Nothing like a sunny day, climbing hills on two wheels...
Are there no limitations on design/colours. Some of the current offerings are lovely but I'm not sure Shutt would be able to produce them in sportwool.
Here's one which uses the Shutt palett, combined with a heavy influence of Loughborough University's purple in recognition of the frame designer's background. Also influenced by the classic Mondrian inspired La Vie Claire jersey.
Good style. Bright enought to be seen, funky enough to be of interest and understaeted enough to be worn by on an old buffer like me. Posh
Here are some from Angelo at AC&A in Melbourne...

Ta. All this black and white stuff is sooooo last decade. 
Ladies and gentlemen,

I love the top one.. Pete
My entry! ;/
... Soyez Realiste-Demandez L'impossible ...
here's one from andrew smith, he say:
"Each panel is a separate colour from the Shutt logo, simple but eye catching."
Forgot to put up number 2...
Lanterne Rouge
I can't draw and don't have time to, apologies, but perhaps for those that can how about a "Black Sabbath" theme white on 'titanium' ...

BTW I'm liking the designs posted before me v much.
i did done this one:
Some fantastic designs.....So much talent out there but my vote goes to Purplecup 9/10.
Had a little go at this one. The colors and simplicity are always fun to work with.
Been trying to work the tagline "Sabbath, First and the Last" into a design.... As you can guess I've not got very far with this.

on the other hand, DaveP's purple crayons have been working overtime...
I like the purple
Here's my effort featuring big S's from the Sabbath logo disguised as retro stripes
Just refined that last one a little bit...
and my final submission...
An alternative which exploits the complementary colours of yellow and purple. 
Are the logo positions in the template fixed? Hope not or my submissions are doomed... 
I think I need to stop now. This really is the final effort.
A few more, still based on the geometric/mountain profile design that incorporates the Shutt logo colours...
... Soyez Realiste-Demandez L'impossible ...
My first design...
here's another one from davep...
thought i'd try my hand at a few more options...
another one from angelo...
That's very professional... 
My effort
One final effort. Sabbath red with complementary green.

few designs I knocked together
Boring colours I know but associate titanium with blue colours. Plus tried to keep it simple to make.
Every day and in every way I'm getting slower and slower
Some more ideas.
Some more ideas.
last day of work so was getting bored.. a few more 
Some corking late entries slipping under the wire - we've decided that we'll draw up the shortlist over Christmas and then have the vote when everybody gets back to work in the New Year.
Gotta say I particularly like the xcstu's third design of the first batch - making a feature out of the zip is a really cool idea, and I love hopetranter 2nd design in her final (for now?) batch - wonder how the logo would read out but I'd certainly wear one.
Oops! You're right, the logo won't work on the other picture. I'm pretty sure it will work on this one though?
I'm going to post one in a minute, please don't close it yet!!!
Hi, I'm new here, but I thought I'd have a go at the competition
Also, there is a bit of the pattern down the sides, but you cant see it there. Please consider my design!
Thanks
Thanks Tom H - nice one
I'd like to wear something like these ...
Nice and simples.....
There's always a lot to be said for keeping it simple mr_fox
sorry bored at work.. promise its my last one
Any news on a shortlist, or have I missed something? 
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.
Ailess King
Spot on and ticks the boxes, especially the one regarding "being seen".
