Honestly I can't understand why there's not more interest. The design, or is it just people aren't so into advertising the forum?

Hey I ordered both the jersey and the bibs as they are awesome looking and would be great on a ww build.

I am sorry that this order did not go through as I wanted the kit for my Grand Fondo this year.

I love WW's, but gotta say I'd prefer a more, ahem, aggresive design.
As in more blacks, blues, etc. and way less orange...but that's just one man's opinion!

Can you post a design sketch? Your suggestion is rather broad.

One of the issues is we worked with the theme of the website. Color will always be a matter of taste; I happen to really like the orange, but the weenie is orange, and orange doesn't work so well with other colors.

Feeding back on the colour scheme.. Orange is a bit loud in tone to me. If the scheme had a bit more 'peleton' feel about it, it might get more interest.

Whites / blues perhaps / text inset in orange? - a bit less novelty, a bit easier on the eye. (I just took that theme from the 'post reply page')

I'd be happy enough doing a training ride in this kind of kit (i.e. a kit relating to WW & the tech ethos behind the site), but really you don't want every last rider on a club run having a crack at you about it. Which in the UK, believe me they would. Ruthlessly so.

A recent thread poking fun at the footon kit (i.e. viewtopic.php?f=14&t=61797&p=669192&hilit=footon#p669192) kinda highlights this perhaps.

I've worn it so far @ Terrible Two, the San Jose Livestrong Challenge, and the Mt Tamalpais Double, and have had only good comments so far. Maybe it's a California thing.

The Dutch don't seem to mind orange much....



Nor do the Basque:

@ djconnel - I'm thinking races are different to the rib tickling your average joe would dish out on a club run.

The club kit I have to wear for races makes me look like a smurf, but 'cos its race day you'd never get anyone taking the piss about it.


I'd have thought ww kit is going to be used by guys on the off-days and leisure runs when their out with club mates, so that's why I'd got a interest in something that doesn't scream so much.

I guess everyone is different. I tend to ask myself - can I have a serious conversation with a car driver if I am out in this kit and they've just cut me up / done some horrific dangerous driving .... I just don't think any one would take me seriously in the orange outfit as is.

Well if anyone has at least a jersey in MED they want to sell, I would be willing to get it. I really wanted a full kit. DAMN.

You might like Starbike's Weightweenies jersey.

I've got the original Starbike jersey and must say that makes me look even more devilishly handsome than I really am.

And you can call me Macktastik Honey Pete Kicks, thank you.

The original jersey is just low budget. I've the original one, where the ziptie broke after several times and i've the 'orange' kit. Believe me...that orange one is a hell of a nice and hightech kit!

Honestly? the design of the kit is just awful.

DJ - i'm not good with e-design but I'm afraid I don't like the kit either, though would wear WW kit in principle.

Maybe it would be a good idea to take a generally considered nice kit and then subsitute the motifs and text?

What about the GF Sportful kit ... right colours and a nice kit in person

I guess the way I see the question, though, is whether any didn't sign up in the last offering solely because they didn't like the kit design? If not, then redisigning is something of a waste if we still can't generate the required number of interested buyers at the $190 price point, or whatever it was. I'd love to see this get off the ground again, but I think we need more information about the cause of the failure last time...
