I would love to have a CyclingDepartment tricot for the 2018 season. Shall we do a little brainstorming with Photoshop mockups to have something designed? Maybe run it in conjunction with our big brother www.racedepartment.com where all the skinning guru's can help?
That'd be great! Unfortunately I'm no good with Photoshop or drawing creativity in general, but I'd certainly buy one once made!
Great idea! I'm a designer by trade so might be able to help (although never done clothing before). Lets try and get some ideas in the ring. For printing It'll probably need to be in print ready vector format (AI, EPS, SVG or COREL) but i can definitely redraw any PSD/Paint or whatever mockups into final artwork. Simple and striking is key. Super complex pixel based raster images in a gazillion colours don't translate well to vector. There's a reason most cycle jerseys are just a couple of base colours with basic text and logos Maybe point out some current kit you guys like. I guess the black white, grey and turquoise of the forum is a good place to start with colour choice. Bram, do you have any Cycling Dept logos or artwork?
Iam usually just wearing a shirt not a tricot... soooo iam looking into the option to buy one but can not guarantee anything
ok guys... please dont laugh BUT I had an idea xD how about something like this? maybe someone could enhance it ... edit: or something like that one helmet on the front one on the back? you know... everyone should have an easteregg with an barcode on their tricot!!!
Hey, that's really quite cool! I'm a little busy over the next couple of days but i might have a play with that idea next week.
Haha we will be getting RD merchandise in the coming months already. Actually a really cool line of clothing if everything works out. CD however should have it's own identity I think. Really like the colorscheme as laid out by @dazzyb2k3. Didn't realize that those colors of the site may actually look really awesome as a bib (black) with a jersey in those colors. Nice! Is there a psd template of cycling clothes that we can use to fool around with ?
Found a cool little online designer tool on this clothing website: https://www.owayo.co.uk/custom-cycling-clothing.htm Open up the page and click the 'Link to 3D Designer Button'. It's limited but very nicely implemented and fun to play around with.
I like the last one, that looks good. Perhaps changing the text to a slightly smaller size? Just thinking out loud, I dont have the skill to do it myself Keeps the designs coming!
I found the same designed site a while ago. Damn that does look very good in those colors <3 Shall we ?
Maybe some small logo or color accent/trim but the main color HAS to be black. There's really no other socially acceptable color for cycling shorts is there?
