For the back, I like any of options 1-3. (I like the message of 4...just not on my back.)

I like #3 for the back of the shirt. Think of the good karma spread when you walk around town in that.

For those of you who look debonair in black and not washed out like most people (remember soon you'll have your pasty pacific northwest pallor - or I guess pacific southwest pallor when you're Canadian) - maybe we could do a choice of black or grey background (more universally appealing ) ???

Hey Louise.

I’m on side with other colours. We’re working on it.

I have enough black T-shirt’s. Also, they will be 100% cotton. Since 50/50 induces a happy dance from my arm pit bacteria and they will raise enough of a ruckus to clear out a room.

We will post design options once we have something to present.

Thanks for soliciting input, Rob & Justine! You are very, very brave. Why, it's only been two years since the last time the Club was asked to provide design input (121 forum replies and 26,921 views—probably a forum record.)

For the sake of those who don't have these handy, the logo referenced at No. 1 looks like this. I like it—though I think I prefer "TS" instead of "3S", since the latter can be read as "threes".



No. 2 ("YYJ") seems hash-taggy and unneeded since we don't face a social media word-count. (But saying that may just demonstrate how out of touch with everything I am!) How about just "Victoria, B.C."?

Your second No. 3 is always a winner and possibly better phrased "The most important person on a group ride is everyone else."

Other logos include:

and

I also have one of Galen's old shirts. It's a bit confusing with a double-decker bus, three pink coffee cups, and a reference to "Take the early bus" or something; but it's colourful, despite being on a black background.

Speaking of colour complementarity, it's a good thing that Tripleshot members come in all sorts of shades and that only some are subject to seasonal washout. Whatever colour Rob & Justine pick, it's sure to work for a bunch of us.

I agree with Rob, Martin's t-shirt was a winner.

Martin, would you mind posting an image of your t-shirt here? I recall it as being attractively plain. Something like this, minus the bellybutton ring that you were wearing,

"The most important person on the ride is everyone else"

It has to be this one, which has become the club's unofficial motto. I believe the original quote was actually "The most important person on a group ride is everyone else", but it's close enough and it captures the Tripleshot ethos.

JD

P.S. I'd considered lobbying for "Steady up!" or "Straight to coffee!" but realized that they were merely my own official mottoes.

How about "A coffee club with a cycling problem" on the back of the T?
