****Hey, that look really really nice!! I would absolutely wear that on rides, and maybe even on some dates so that women would know I wasn't trying to compensate for anything!!! :thumbup: I could finally leave the potato at home!

From the Unversal Versus coverage: "And Johnny Hugeland has ants in his pants.". Har har.

I revised the design a bit, adding the URL to the jersey, modifying the W a bit, and fixing the bug with the weenie where there was no border under the neck. Gimp source linked to photos:

I vote for that one! It looks awesome! I definitely would buy it!!! Just in orange then. I don't think it need any changes now.

@DjConnel: Great job man! Very cool looking and i think it would be one of the nicest jerseys i've in my closet...beside the Primal Wear ones...hehe..

Just let them be made!!

Add me to the list of people who think Dan's design looks outstanding! So far I think orange looks the best.

Of course, I still have to nitpick. ;) The atomic number is normally placed to the bottom left of the element symbol. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_notation And Aluminum is atomic number 13, not 14.

soon young grasshopper.

Good call about the atomic number, wouldn't want the whole world to point it out to us afterward.

Damn! You'd think I get that right, as atomic number 14 is my day job.

Thanks for the correction.

Fixed.

Great work on the jersey, much appreciated. I think if everyone else is in agreement, I would be willing to pay a little more to see that those who have/are putting a lot of their time and effort into this get the cost of their kit covered.

Here's a long-sleeve template:

Of course, we could do more with the lower sleeves, if there's any suggestions.
