Is it time to update the kit again?

[MJ_1993]

[quote="Hal"]Personally I like our current kit, I`m proud to wear it and find riders easy to spot when racing and when around town.

There is a big finincial implication to ask members to buy a full set of new kit, even if it needs replacing after a few years.

This will lead to a few years of mutiple kits which looks a bit untidy.

Yellow is good and bright (black looks good to you but not car drivers at dusk)

I`m against the idea of sponsorship.

The idea of a retro jersey/training top is one I support.

How about Regalino pink?

[MJ_1993]

sounds like a plan. wont you need some new gimp cycling stuff to avoid a clash of colours?

I think the kit's pretty good as it is, but would go for evolutionary rather than revolutionary changes. If we were to do some minor changes I would get rid of "The Agreeables" tag on the collar, and make the black parts completely black rather than that strange black/green fade effect.

Although there are some problems with Santini (rubbish skinsuit zips, not the best chamois, exchange rate), it could be a case of "better the devil you know". If we were to change supplier we would most likely have to commit to a fairly large order initially, and would not immediately have the same range available as we currently have. Also GB's would be likely to end up lumbered with the remaining Santini stock, as people would not want to buy the old design; if I was running GB's I would ask ACC to buy up all the Santini stock before restocking from the new supplier.

Post-race team clothing would be good - yes to the polo shirt, no to the tracksuit (I have no desire to dress like a chav). Of course, the casual clothing doesn't have to come from a cycling clothing company - it would be cheaper and probably a lot easier to buy from a UK company that does kit for sports clubs, schools etc.

is there any BCF or RTT regulations that a club can have only one current offical kit? If not couldn't we have two or mor options?

I don't mind one way or anothe as I only wear the club top when racing so I haven't got too bored of it. I don't think it is 'old fashioned', my problem is that yellow and black kit only goes with yellow and black so unless you have the top and shorts etc it kinda clashes with other non club kit. Also I'm not mad on the fit either.

As Hal said, it is good for visibility at dawn/dusk/night and for spotting our guys in races.

Toks is just going through a mid life crisis - can we get a leather jacket in ACC colours?

Oh, we did get those t-shirts a while ago, although a moth quickly ate a hole in mine, so I don't wear it any more, it was nice.

[MJ_1993]

i propose we find a bunch of schoolchildren doing textiles and ask them to draft up some ideas. and toks can pay them forhaving this brilliant idea.

What about swapping the colours around? So put white where yellow is and yellow where white is etc.It could be kinda like an away version of our home kit. And then also have an updated retro kit

[quote]Anyone going to produce some designs for the committee to consider

[jon avery]

5. Put the proposed kit designs (including the old one) on the forum, and have a vote?

Agree with Alan - if Paul's not already done so I'll put your perfectly worded earlier note to the committee Close this for now unless you fancy more pointless debate - and let's face it, no one likes that more than me......more later

[mrP(Boonen)VT]

It's already on the Agenda

As you quite rightly say Alan, the decision could be to do nothing.

I was interested to see if anyone actually had any ideas rather than just saying it's rubbish etc, which might help the committee to make their decision.

I have probably missed the outcome of this due to my trip to Mallorca but can someone tell me what was the result of any discussions at the committee meeting?
